Wagering Technique Based on Projected Performance Benchmarks and Geographically Restricting....

摘要

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for providing access to, while in a predetermined location, information corresponding to a rules-based activity via a computer network. Access may be gained by users via the Internet or mobile networks, and may include access via a mobile device application. In exemplary embodiments, the geographic location of the user, via his computing device, is confirmed within a predetermined location for accessing and employing the system. Also disclosed are systems and methods for facilitating wagering on contests within one or more rules-based activities. In exemplary embodiments, a projected performance benchmark for a participant in a contest within the rules-based activity is established, and wagers are taken from authorized members on whether an actual performance benchmark for the participant will meet or fall below the projected performance benchmark. Winning and losing wagers are then determined based on the actual performance benchmark for the participant in the contest.

主权项

1. A method for providing access to, while in a predetermined geographic location, information corresponding to one or more rules-based activities via a private computer network, the method comprising:
providing a private computer network, comprising one or more computing devices executing operating firmware and software, at a predetermined geographic location; confirming, with one or more devices associated with the private computer network, a geographic location of a computing device, associated with a member of the private computer network, within a predetermined distance of the geographic location of the network; authenticating, with one or more devices associated with the private computer network, access to the private computer network by the member while the computing device is within the predetermined distance; and upon successful authenticating, providing access to information regarding the one or more rules-based activities using the computing device via the private computer network only while the computing device remains within the predetermined distance.
