Answer 1

I Advice you to:

• Use Membership provider to just deal with user registration and authentication. And let it take care of user security stuffs (rest password, validate user ....)

• Then use Roles to separate your users to their roles ("Players, normalUsers,..").

• And NEVER use Profile provider cause it cost so many traffic you don't want and instead of you could make your custom table in DataBase to store your additional information.

• Then you may use EF or any ORM to get this information whenever you want.

• Don't forget to use authorization attributes [Authorize(Roles="Players")]in your Controllers and Actions deppending on the Roles.
