Do Casinos Report Gambling Earnings to the IRS?

Yes, but there are certain thresholds that must be eclipsed to trigger a casino to report winnings. The threshold at which gambling winnings must be reported to the IRS varies based on the type of game.

At a horse racing track, winnings that exceed either $600 or 300 times your initial wager must be reported. For slot machines and bingo, all winnings in excess of $1,200 must be reported. In a poker tournament, the level is $5,000.

Just what is gambling?

A: Gambling has three elements, Consideration, Chance and Reward. Gambling takes place when (Consideration) an individual puts up something of value; i.e., money or property, etc on (Chance) the outcome of an event that is determined by chance, i.e., casino games, rather than the experience or skill of the individual, or the outcome of an event that the individual has no control over the outcome, i.e., football, baseball, basketball games, etc, and (Reward) the individual has the chance of winning something of value.

What Is Online Gambling Fraud?

Online gambling fraud sees cybercriminals look to abuse or defraud an iGaming operator. This takes a wide variety of forms, from multi-accounting to abuse bonuses, affiliate fraud, money laundering – and even grey areas such as arbitrage.

When fraud analysts talk about gambling fraud, we refer to every and any unlawful or detrimental practice or scheme carried out by professional or amateur fraudsters in order to extract funds, bonuses, or other benefits from the iGaming company – and/or facilitate other fraud.

Naturally, online gambling does attract fraud a lot, due to its sheer accessibility as well as traditional ties of the offline industry with money launderers. Equally, it also attracts the interest of regulators and legislators – no matter if we’re talking about a poker room, online casino, slots website, bingo room or bookmaker.

The CFTC Should Protect Democracy, Markets, and Investors by Rejecting Request to Allow Gambling on Elections

WASHINGTON, D.C.—Dennis M. Kelleher, Co-founder, President and CEO, released the following statement in connection with Better Markets’ comment letter filed with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regarding a request for approval of a proposed gaming contract.

“KalshiEX, LLC (‘Kalshi’) has asked the CFTC to allow traders to gamble on the outcome of congressional elections through a new so-called event contract relating to the partisan control of Congress. Based on the law, public policy, and the facts, the CFTC should reject this request and protect democracy, markets, and investors.

“The law expressly prohibits ‘gaming’ contracts like the one proposed and, therefore, the CFTC should reject Kalshi’s request.  The law also requires the CFTC to reject contracts that are illegal under state law and more than a dozen states protect the integrity of elections by outlawing gambling on elections.

“The proposal should also be rejected as against public policy.  Democracy and elections are foundational principles for the country and are not appropriate subjects for gambling and betting.  Just as we would not allow traders to place bets on when or where they believe the next school shooting will occur, so too must we protect our elections by refusing to allow gambling on our democratic process. Also, gambling on elections would be susceptible to manipulation and could incentivize people to engage in improper if not illegal conduct that could raise concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.

“The proposed contract is also another example in the deeply troubling trend toward the ‘gamification’ and ‘retailization’ of finance. In this increasingly common pattern, everyday investors are lured into new financial products and services, justified by claims that the offerings represent beneficial ‘democratization’ and ‘innovation.’ Yet as we have seen with the gamification of retail trading that fueled the meme stock frenzy, and even more so in the market for cryptocurrencies, the result is typically massive wealth for a few sponsors and issuers and massive losses suffered by the majority of retail investors.

“Finally, in addition to violating the law and being contrary to public policy, Kalshi’s submission is grossly deficient in terms of providing sufficient information and data to evaluate its claims.  This makes it impossible for the CFTC or the public to fully understand, evaluate, or comment on the submission.  This is an independent reason requiring the CFTC to reject the request.”

The process can end at three values: $0,N$ and $N+1$. Thus there are three relevant boundary values: $P_0=1$ and $P_N=P_{N+1}=0$.

One can avoid solving equations as follows.Write $x_n:=P_n-P_{n+1}$ for $n=0,1,\dots,N$. Thenfor $1 \le n \le N-1$, we have$$P_n=(P_{n-1}+P_{n+2})/2 =(P_n+x_{n-1}+P_n-x_n-x_{n+1})/2 \,,$$so $x_{n-1}=x_n+x_{n+1}$.Thus $y_k=x_{N-k}$ satisfy the Fibonacci recurrence$$y_{k+1}=y_k+y_{k-1} \quad \text{for} \quad k=1,\dots, N-1 \,.$$Since $y_0=0$, we infer that$y_k=y_1 F_k$ for $k=0,\dots, N$, where $F_0=0, F_1=1, F_2=1,\dots$ is the Fibonacci sequence.Recall that $$ F_1+\dots +F_k=F_{k+2}-1 \,,$$which can be easily verified inductively.Therefore, for $m \in [0,N]$ we have$$P_m=P_N+ y_1+\dots +y_{N-m} = y_1 (F_{N-m+2}-1) \,.$$Taking $m=0$ yields $1=y_1(F_{N+2}-1)$, so we conclude that$$\forall m \in [0,N], \quad p_m=\frac{F_{N-m+2}-1}{F_{N+2}-1} \,.$$

The Tamil Nadu government has recently approved an ordinance to regulate online gambling including banning of 'online games with stakes' in the state. As per a poll conducted by Business Today, a majority of respondents across different social media platforms felt such a ban on online gaming where bets were involved was justified (Twitter: 63.3 per cent, Linkedin: 69 per cent, YouTube: 68 per cent, Instagram: 50 per cent, Telegram: 70 per cent).

Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin had set up up a committee under the chairmanship of retired Justice K Chandru for advising on enacting fresh legislation on online games in June. However, India esports athletes body EPWA has urged the Tamil Nadu government to recognise skill games as a distinct sport and not club it along with gambling and provide a safe harbour for professional players.

In order to understand this better, the BT poll also asked, "Is online gaming with bets the same as online gambling?" Here, users across platforms mostly agreed that online gaming with bets was akin to online gambling (Linkedin: 82 per cent, YouTube: 76 per cent, Instagram: 67 per cent, Telegram: 89 per cent). On YouTube, some respondents commented that while the two were not exactly the same but they were close in nature.

Some respondents also presented a counter to this while commenting on how skill set was required for gaming versus how pure luck was a factor for online gambling.

59.3 per cent of respondents on Twitter felt that the online gaming with bets was not the same as online gambling.

While the ordinance awaits to be promulgated after Tamil Nadu Governor RN Ravi gives his assent, the online gaming industry, which has witnessed a rapid rise in India, could face a tough setback if more states were to follow suit.
