Hey guys, I’m a crypto enthusiast and a avid gambler, and I want to share with you some facts and myths about gambling taxes. The IRS treats all gambling winnings as taxable income, but you can reduce your taxes by following these tips:

- Know the rules: Different games and platforms have different tax rules. Generally, if your winnings are more than $600 and 300 times your wager, the payer will withhold 24% of your winnings for federal taxes. But there are some exceptions for certain games.
- Keep records: You need to keep track of all your bets and outcomes. You also need to keep proof of your winnings and losses.
- Deduct losses: You can deduct your gambling losses from your winnings as an itemized deduction. But you can only deduct losses up to the amount of your winnings.
- Choose wisely: Not all games and platforms have the same odds and payouts. Some games have higher house edges than others. Some platforms have higher fees or commissions than others. Some games and platforms also have more volatility than others. You need to choose wisely based on your preferences and goals.
- Have fun: Gambling is fun and entertaining. Don’t gamble more than you can afford to lose or chase your losses. Don’t gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs or when you are stressed or depressed. Don’t gamble with money that you need for other purposes or obligations. Don’t gamble illegally or unethically. Gamble responsibly and enjoy yourself.
