The Council also proposed that the assessment of the value of transactions involving online gaming and actionable claims in casinos should be determined based on the sum paid or owed to the supplier, either directly or on behalf of the player, while excluding the amounts used for participating in games or bets from previous winnings.

This approach suggests that the valuation should not be based on the total value of each individual bet placed.
