Abstract

See full text

In accordance with some embodiments, provided herein are systems, methods and articles of manufacture for providing bonuses to player of games (e.g., online wagering games) based on the achievement of a qualifying event by another player (e.g., a friend of the players who are provided the bonuses). In accordance with some embodiments, such bonuses are funded out of respective bonus funding accounts maintained and managed for the players (which may be game-specific). In accordance with some embodiments, such bonus funding accounts may be maintained for players without the player's knowledge or control and may be funded based on gaming activity of the players (e.g., a portion of each wager made by a player may be contributed to the balance of the player's bonus funding account).
