Taxation of Gambling Winnings and Losses

Gambling winnings and losses are subject to taxation, similar to other sources of income. This taxation is not dependent on whether you withdraw your winnings.

If you meet the criteria for a taxable event, you will receive a Form W-2G or 1099 the following day for federal tax reporting purposes.
