Abstract
The present application provides methods and corresponding systems for accessing services on a gaming device which, in certain embodiments, include the step or steps of receiving at least one item of identity verification data from a user of a gaming device; enabling at least one service, such as a wager-type game, on the gaming device based on a match between the at least one item of identity verification data received and at least one item of identity verification data obtained previously; displaying an interface screen comprising graphic objects associated with the wager-type game and at least one selectable element for the user to submit a gaming command and a wagering command during game play; obtaining at least one item of user change data from a user during game play; and prompting the user for identity verification data when a user change is suspected based on the at least one item of user change data.

36. An apparatus comprising:
-
at least one processor of at least one computer in electronic communication with at least one server over an electronic communications network; a non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium storing instructions which are configured to, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; receive at least one item of identity verification data from a device; enable at least one service on the device based at least in part on a match between the at least one item of identity verification data received and at least one other item of identity verification data obtained previously, wherein the at least one service comprises a game; while the at least one service is enabled, receive physical biometric data obtained by a sensor of the device, in which the received physical biometric data is different from any gameplay input received from a player pursuant to the game; subsequent to receiving the data and while the at least one service is enabled, receive data obtained by the sensor of the device, wherein the data comprises an indication of a null reading affirmatively obtained by the sensor; and based at least in part on receiving (i) the physical biometric data and (ii) the data that comprises an indication of a null reading affirmatively obtained by the sensor, output a prompt comprising a request to provide identity verification data. - View Dependent Claims (37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)

51. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by at least one processor of at least one computer in electronic communication with at least one server over an electronic communications network, at least one item of identity verification data from a device; enabling, by the at least one processor, at least one service on the device based at least in part on a match between the at least one item of identity verification data received and at least one other item of identity verification data obtained previously, wherein the at least one service comprises a transaction; while the at least one service is enabled, receiving, by the at least one processor, physical biometric data obtained by a biometric sensor of the device, in which the received physical biometric data is different from any command or transaction specification received from a user; subsequent to receiving the data and while the at least one service is enabled, receiving, by the at least one processor, data obtained by the biometric sensor of the device, wherein the data is different from the received biometric data; and based at least in part on receiving (i) the physical biometric data and (ii) the data that is different from the received biometric data, outputting, by the at least one processor, a prompt comprising a request to provide identity verification data. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54)

55. A non-transitory tangible computer readable storage medium storing instructions that are configured to, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
-
receive at least one item of identity verification data from a device; enable at least one service on the device based at least in part on a match between the at least one item of identity verification data received and at least one other item of identity verification data obtained previously, wherein the at least one service comprises a transaction; while the at least one service is enabled, receive physical biometric data obtained by a biometric sensor of the device, in which the received physical biometric data is different from any command or transaction specification received from a user; subsequent to receiving the data and while the at least one service is enabled, receive data obtained by the biometric sensor of the device, wherein the data is different from the received biometric data; and based at least in part on receiving (i) the physical biometric data and (ii) the data that is different from the received biometric data, output a prompt comprising a request to provide identity verification data.
