Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The technical solution as filed involves the arrangement of an electronic betting and gaming system for use with telecommunication means, particularly data networks. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART [0002] With electronic and conventional betting and gaming systems, some users, particularly among the young and psychologically less resilient, may become dependent upon betting or gaming to a point where their reasonable payment capacity is impaired. That can lead to undesirable consequences for the users and their environment, with disruptions in their payment ability and cash flow. A further problem can be the use of equipment in places where, and at certain times when betting and gaming are not allowed. The goal of the technical solution as filed, using standard electronic means for communication between the user and the service provider, is to create protection for the user which would at least limit such undesirable effects. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent describes an electronic betting and gaming system that uses data networks and telecommunications to connect users to a service provider. The system uses a user's block, which is connected to a start-up package block with a payment card and deposit coupon. The user's block is also connected to the service provider's block through a communication means. The service provider's block is connected to a deposit account, gaming account, and winnings account. The system can determine the user's location and time in a given location. The user's block is connected to a unique identifying deposit number in the service provider's block. The system can assess the user's age, personal characteristics, and ability to pay through a combination of operator and telecommunication means. The system can also monitor cash flow and restrict the use of deposit coupons to protect the user's payment ability. The system offers both instant and deferred prizes and attracts the participant's attention to the expenses incurred in the game. The system can register the voice print or other biometric print of the participant for later identification. The system offers a variety of gaming deposit means and can be operated with both instant and deferred prizes."

Problems solved by technology

With electronic and conventional betting and gaming systems, some users, particularly among the young and psychologically less resilient, may become dependent upon betting or gaming to a point where their reasonable payment capacity is impaired.

That can lead to undesirable consequences for the users and their environment, with disruptions in their payment ability and cash flow.

A further problem can be the use of equipment in places where, and at certain times when betting and gaming are not allowed.
