Abstract

A system and method for verifying an age of an interactive gaming player using a remote terminal to access a gaming site on a global computer network. The player initially registers with a registration facility associated with the gaming site. During the registration process, the registration facility receives proof from the player that the player satisfies a minimum age restriction. Also, the registration facility acquires a reference biometric attribute from the player. When the player later desires to use the remote terminal to access the gaming site and place wagers via the gaming site, the biometric attribute of the player is measured with a biometric measurement device at the remote terminal. The measured biometric attribute is compared with the reference biometric attribute previously acquired by the registration facility. If the measured biometric attribute sufficiently matches the reference biometric attribute, the gaming site accepts wagers placed by the player.
