The Patent

The Patent pertains to a business method for remote wagering on live games and events utilizing electronic transactions. The patent was first published in Europe in November 1999 and provides its assignee with full provisional patent protection.

Location-free wagering such as this is delivered to consumers via the Internet, satellite and cable television, and wireless technologies. Live games and events include casino-style games, pari-mutuel wagering, lotteries, sports betting, bingo, keno, and more. Electronic financial transactions are executed by credit card, debit card, smart card, as well as e-cash and any other electronic funds transfer.
