Abstract
A system, apparatus and method are presented for facilitating remote wager communications using a mobile communications device while the device is within range of one or more beacons within a venue. In various embodiments, one or more beacons broadcast a periodically changing wireless passcode that is received by a mobile communications device and transmitted to a gaming authentication server. The gaming authentication server determines a shared secret code and compares it to the wireless passcode or a portion thereof in order to determine if the mobile communications device can be authenticated for remote gaming within the venue.
