AUTOMATED PLAYER SPONSORSHIP SYSTEM

Abstract:

Embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein provide a sponsor matching system in which players and sponsors can be matched. Upon a match based at least in part on stored sponsorship criteria and/or player preferences, a first sponsor can select a set of players to receive permission to select an advertisement associated with the first sponsor. Once a first player of the selected players selects an advertisement and an advertisement placement location associated with the first sponsor, the sponsor matching system can generate game rendering instructions for a first player system associated with the first player.
