Abstract:

Information regarding a user may be indicative of membership in a group. Such information may be maintained for every user associated with a particular system or title. In instances, redeemable content may be offered exclusively to a group. Requests for such content may therefore be received and evaluated to determine whether the requesting user is a member of the particular group. The determination includes an evaluation of information associated with the requesting user. In some instances, the information associated with the requesting user is a user identifier that is indicative of the group membership, and the user identifier may be included in the request. If the user is indeed determined to be a member of the group, access to the redeemable content is granted. Alternatively, if the user is not determined to be a member of the group, access to the redeemable content is denied.
