Playing taxes on your winnings are no longer exempt. Whereas you happen to are a U.S. citizen you owe Uncle Sam a part, regardless if obtained here or out of the country. The IRS considers all gambling winnings taxable profits, even if it be an amount that would not win reported to the IRS by the payer, luxuriate in that $20 preserve on a scratch off tag, or a lucky $250 when your numbers hit, even a $1,000 jackpot on your current slot machine. Sadly, gambling taxes are due.
