1. A device comprising:
a processor; and
a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
capture:
data associated with a financial institution account,
user authentication data associated with the financial institution account, and
data associated with an amount of funds, and
responsive to a receipt of data associated with a financial institution confirmation of an availability of the amount of funds in the financial institution account, communicate, via an interface, the data associated with the amount of funds to a cashless wagering system associated with a cashless wagering account, wherein the cashless wagering account is distinct from any player tracking account associated with any player loyalty system, and independent of any issuance of any physical item associated with the amount of funds, in association with a mobile device application being executed by a mobile device operating independent of the device and following a modification of a balance of the cashless wagering account based on the amount of funds, the amount of funds are available to be transferred, independent of any electronic gaming machine operating independent of the device, to a component of a gaming table operating independent of the device.
