1. A computing device for gaming by patrons, comprising:
at least one processor, at least one identification acceptor and at least one biological sensor, configured to permit installation at a site for interaction with human patrons;
the at least one identification acceptor being configured to scan identification information from an identification document into digital form for transmission over a communication network;
the at least one biological sensor being configured to obtain biological data describing a given human patron in digital form for transmission over the communication network;
in which the at least one processor is configured to control:
obtaining a digital form of the given human patron's identification from the at least one identification acceptor;
obtaining biological data describing a biological feature of the given human patron from the at least one biological sensor;
verifying identity of the given human patron and acceptability of the given human patron for gaming based at least in part on the digital form of the given human patron's identification and the biological data;
verifying the identity of the given human patron against a legal identity to validate legal entitlement to participate in gaming activities;
on verification, offering gaming activities to the verified given human patron;
