Abstract
A system and method for providing access to gambling resources is provided. A GeoBio Indicator (GBI) reads biometric information from a user and obtains positional information for the location of the GBI. The biometric information read from the use is compared with stored biometric information. The positional information for the location of the GBI is compared to a set of the geographic locations wherein gambling is legal. If the biometric information matches and the GBI is located in a geographic location where gambling is legal, access to gambling resources is allowed.

12. A system for providing access to gaming resources including:
-
a biometric scanner for retrieving a retrieved biometric from a user;
a positional sensor sensing the position of said CPU;
a memory storing at least one set of geographic coordinates representing a geographic locality; and
a CPU for comparing said retrieved biometric with a stored biometric and comparing said position with said at least one set of geographic coordinates, said CPU permitting access to gaming resources when said retrieved biometric matches said stored biometric and said position is within said at least one set of geographic coordinates.

19. A method for providing access to gaming resources including the steps of:
-
retrieving biometric information from a user;
comparing said biometric information retrieved from said user to stored biometric information;
retrieving positional information for said user comparing said positional information for said user with stored positional information; and
providing access to gaming resources when said biometric information retrieved from said user matches said stored biometric information and said positional information for said user matches said stored positional information.
