1. A system comprising:
a server;
a beacon configured to wirelessly broadcast to personal devices of players, wherein the beacon, when in a standby mode, is further configured to advertise a static beacon identifier; and
an electronic casino device comprising at least one processor executing instructions which cause the at least one processor to:
transmit a request for a unique beacon identifier to the server;
receive the unique beacon identifier from the server in response to the request; and
configure the beacon with the unique beacon identifier, wherein the beacon is configured to broadcast the unique beacon identifier to a personal device associated with a player account;
wherein the server is further configured to:
receive a pairing request including a transmitted beacon identifier from the personal device, wherein the pairing request is generated in response to the broadcast of the unique beacon identifier to the personal device;
validate that the transmitted beacon identifier matches the unique beacon identifier;
store a valid association between the personal device and the electronic casino device; and
authorize one or more connected actions to be performed by the personal device based on the valid association.
