The present disclosure relates generally to gaming systems and, in particular, to creating an impersonal player identification (ID) using biometric information obtained from a player in a gaming facility. In one example, a player is scanned at a gaming device and an impersonal player ID and gaming account is generated for the user without requiring identity information about the player other than the biometric information for the player. The impersonal player ID associates stored gaming history, award information, and offers for the player. As the player moves within the gaming facility, the player can access various functions of gaming devices by entering a biometric feature scanning zone. Aspects of the present disclosure allow player to securely redeem issued tickets/vouchers as well as interact with gaming devices without the need to carry tracking cards, fobs, or other physical tokens.
