Systems and methods for distributing geolocation-specific benefits to unique digital articles based on real-world information

Abstract

Systems and methods to distribute geolocation-specific benefits to unique digital articles, based on real-world information, are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; manage player accounts associated with the players, including a first and a second player account associated with a first and a second player; record player-configurable sensitivity of player-owned unique digital articles to receive distributions of benefits; determine real-world information based on events that have occurred in the real world; determine geolocation information for the first and second player; evaluate whether to distribute and/or adjust the benefits, based on the real-world information and the geolocation information; and provide the (adjusted) distributions of benefits accordingly.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system configured to distribute geolocation-specific benefits based on real-world information, the system comprising:
 an online gaming platform including one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
 execute, within the online gaming platform, an instance of a game to facilitate presentation of the game to players, and implement in-game actions in the instance of the game in response to in-game action instructions by the players, wherein the presentation of the game is based on views determined during execution of the instance of the game, wherein the players include a first player and a second player; and 
 manage player accounts associated with the players, wherein the player accounts include a first player account associated with the first player and a second player account associated with the second player, wherein the first player account includes a first account inventory including a first unique digital article that is associated with a first in-game player-controllable character, wherein the second player account includes a second account inventory including a second unique digital article that is associated with a second in-game player-controllable character; and 
   a registry server including one or more processors configured by one or more machine-readable instructions to:
 implement a permanent registry; and 
 record and execute, on the permanent registry, executable code configured to (i) obtain real-world information from a real-world information server, and (ii) perform one or more evaluations whether to distribute benefits based on the real-world information, wherein the benefits include a first benefit and a second benefit; 
   wherein either the one or more processors included in the registry server or the one or more hardware processors included in the online gaming platform are further configured to:
 determine first geolocation information for a first current location of the first player; 
 responsive to the first geolocation information indicating the first current location of the first player meets a first set of one or more requirements for an increase of the first benefit, adjust the first benefit such that the adjusted first benefit is greater than the first benefit; 
 provide a first distribution of the adjusted first benefit to the first unique digital article, based on the one or more evaluations; 
 determine second geolocation information for a second current location of the second player; 
 responsive to the second geolocation information indicating the second current location of the second player fails to meet a second set of one or more requirements for a second increase of the second benefit, do not adjust the second benefit; and 
 provide a second distribution of the second benefit without adjustment to the second unique digital article, based on the one or more evaluations.
