+All winnings are subject to federal income taxState taxes may also apply depending on locationLosses can be deducted, but only up to the amount won +Tax-Free Gambling Jurisdictions +
These governments view gambling as a game of chance, not a reliable source of taxable income.
+
This system shifts the massive tax burden away from the lucky player and onto the corporate entity.
