The Big Beautiful Bill may not be so Beautiful to Gamblers

[JDS]

Fees moving money back and forth far outweigh the taxes, not to mention you have to pay taxes when you sell crypto that you win.

I pm’ed you some info & I will not debate this with you. Do what you want with that info .

I meant to do the math to show how this bill will impact win% requirements but, I didn't have to. A couple of guys at SBR (alecmatt5 & pavyracer) did the math already. Pavy gave a great example with assumed data.

Trump new tax law - Sportsbook Review Forum

Hi, I don't make much money betting on sports but I do pay taxes on it and make enough to help provide for myself. From what I understand it used to be that you had to win at 52.38% to break out even at -110 odds. Under Trump's new tax law you can only deduct 90% of your losses against your...

The win % to cover the additional requirments on taxes and breakeven goes up to 53.2% vs the 52.4% we currently need to meet.

Assumptions:
24% tax bracket
-110 odds
You file with itemized deductions vs standard deductions.

It just gets better and better...
Most republicans didn't even know what was in the bill they voted for. JFC. These people should be kicked out of office for blindly voting for s#it that they have no clue about.

What if someone snuck in the language, "All Representatives and Senators must be castrated if they are elected to a 2nd term in office"? Would they abide by the law they voted for?

i went back offshore for a lot of my gambling cause of the bonuses. some of the lines i can live with cause i can get paid in money to my bank account quickly. but not getting bonuses irks me when bonuses are out there. i just deposited $600 in bookmaker and got $60 bucks for free. for me, that helps a lot. and only 4x RO is great.

anytime a domestic app asks for feedback on their book i mention giving reload bonuses like offshore. i don't need a 25% bet booster once in awhile, limited to $5, where the odds for that bet are limited to -200 and lower.

I use offshore bookmakers with good reload bonuses to minimize losses and stay active.

I understand your frustration with the new law that limits the ability to write off losses to only 90%, it really makes life difficult for those who actively play and count on a full refund for taxes. I myself have encountered a similar situation when I went to offshore platforms for bonuses and convenient payments, for me a quick withdrawal to a bank account was more important than small restrictions on rates. For example, I recently replenished my account with $ 600 and received a $ 60 bonus, which with 4x RO really helps to increase the capital for the game. Sometimes I advise new players to pay attention to services where you can get 100 free bonus casino no deposit philippines, where you can try games without risk and get bonuses immediately to your account. This is useful when you want to evaluate the platform. I also recommend paying attention to the terms of use of bonuses, so as not to get to the limits on rates or odds. If the law comes into force, players will have to look for alternative solutions.

Any other tips?

I’m reading that this piece of the bill was pushed to be included by domestic books. Why? Because it will push advantaged players out of the US market. Just another move to restrict players US books don’t want as clients.

I would have thought the “limits” they are putting on winning bettors would have been enough to “protect” US book’s profits. I guess this was just another tool for them to use.

I wonder how much the books paid to the politicians to include it? They are corrupt POS.

You’re probably right - it does seem like domestic books had a hand in that. Every time new rules come up, it’s the regular bettors who lose flexibility while the big operators tighten their grip. It’s frustrating because instead of making the market fairer, it just pushes more players to look offshore again.
