Abstract
In accordance with some embodiments, methods and systems provide for tagging an amount of virtual currency with a source identifier that identifies the player who originally deposits the virtual currency with an online gaming establishment. Thereafter, as the tagged virtual currency is used for wagering, and fragmented into smaller units as sub-amounts of it are wagered and lost to other players, the tag comprising the source identifier persists or is generated and associated anew with each such sub-unit as the sub-amount of virtual currency is moved to virtual wagering stacks of other players. This allows for crediting the player who originally deposited virtual currency with the online gaming establishment for revenue to the gaming establishment as the virtual currency is wagered (whether by the originally depositing player or subsequent players who win the virtual currency so tagged and then re-wager it on subsequent game events).
