I know casinos are typically required to report single instance winnings of $1,000+. Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same for these sites.How are taxes done on those sites?

But ultimately the individual has to properly claim the winnings (only net winnings...which few sports gamblers will attain...about 90% are long-term losers).
Guess they could evade it...but paying a small tax vs worry of being audited doesn't seem worth it and there's a lot more data out there than ever. Like people that tried to avoid crypto taxes years ago...then coinbase had to give up tons of info on people that cashed out over a certain amount. I've always seen the bit of taxes as worth my peace of mind...just my .02.
I use to be a pretty decent gambler at one time…… won 20,000 one time….. 13-15,000 a couple times…… typically 5-10,000 by the end of my gambling season…. I gambled online overseas…. The govt at the time wasn’t allowed to tax any winnings so they were mad and trying to change laws…… I was just wondering what the tax laws were for stuff like fanduel if I decided to do it again.Unless you are some big swinging d!ck gambler I don't think the IRS is going to worry about the $150 you won on an online gambling site.
If your total winnings for an entire year is $150...sure I'd say you have a little plausible deniability (not that that is an argument for not paying taxes). Still could be evasion nonetheless and the measly 15 or 20 bucks effective tax might be worth the hassle in the case of an audit. Cheaper than hiring a cpa/attorney to work your audit case.Unless you are some big swinging d!ck gambler I don't think the IRS is going to worry about the $150 you won on an online gambling site.
Pretty sure it has to be over $600 or more dollars in winnings to be taxable.If your total winnings for an entire year is $150...sure I'd say you have a little plausible deniability (not that that is an argument for not paying taxes).

Just like selling stock for a $150 gain or earning $150 at work. It is all taxable income.
Jmo but evading taxes on passive income, when millions of people are paying taxes working for minimal wages...just seems crappy. That was always my argument for paying crypto taxes. People are literally walking into money through passive activities (and luck in many cases) and are too good to pay taxes? Meanwhile average people are working 2 jobs and pay taxes on everything. It's just as much an ethical issue imo.
That may be a withholding limit, where the operator is required to withhold an amount, report and remit it. But any amount of year-end winnings is taxable to the gambler.Pretty sure it has to be over $600 or more dollars in winnings to be taxable.

This is one of my fields.Lol. I had to poke the newt a little.
For the record, I've never hunted deer or turkey at my property despite having some monsters. I have tried to take out coyotes, unsuccessfully. I've taken some groundhogs out because they're destroying my outbuildings.

That’s a legal and ethical question that you will have to answer for yourself…. You may end up in jail for murder but personally, I am willing to look the other way.
What's the point of killing big game like elephants, or rhinos, or big cats? I've never heard of people actually eating these animals, but maybe they do? Aren't elephants and rhinos endangered, or close to? If you're killing just for the thrill of killing, I don't get it. It's not something I would do. But I also won't sit in judgement. I'd guess I wouldn't get along well with those people, but if they're operating within the confines of the law, their action are on them.
Who’s “they” ? Show population of an endangered species over a decade or two decades. If population of said species has doubled then you may have an argument. Doubt that you can.They say since trophy hunting was legalized that it has helped these species grow. They typically allow you to hunt/kill the older non-reproductive males of a species….A lot of times the older males are territorial and causing harm to the herd.
