don't. that's the correct outcome for most people and its why i said it at the top

went and looked at the irs data on this because i wanted to know how many people are actually in the itemising group. 2023 filings reported just over 50 billion in gambling winnings with 42.7 billion in losses deducted. under a 90% cap that deduction drops to roughly 38.4 billion so about four...

i'm not going to apologise for telling people who aren't affected that they're not affected half this forum was about to spend a weekend terrified over a rule that doesn't reach them. that's worth thirty seconds

that's not a defence of it. its so the guy with forty dollars on the chiefs doesn't spend a week thinking he's been ruined

before everyone panics, this doesn't touch most people in here if you take the standard deduction you never deducted gambling losses in the first place. you report your W2Gs and that's it. the 90% cap changes nothing for you because you were already deducting zero it bites if you itemise, and...

that's the one thing he's said in two threads i actually agree with the curve is real. the sites i tracked that went bad didn't start bad, they started generous. fast payouts, decent support, small delays creeping in around a year, then the excuses start arriving in matching wording across...

ok sure. just don't then tell me the little guy won

well don't enjoy it too much pal because the number doesn't say what you want it to say! read that broke the deposit data down properly. most individual deposits are still under a hundred dollars. the bulk of the volume comes from a thin slice of high balance wallets. and three operators handle...

sure they're in it. tribal gaming authorities have filed alongside states on this and its a bigger deal than the state cases in some ways because exclusivity compacts are the whole basis of tribal gaming revenue and a federally regulated exchange routes straight round them im not going to...

they didn't go to the supreme court though did they. they asked the full ninth circuit to rehear it, which reads to me like they don't fancy their odds at scotus with the record as it stands and they'd rather fix the ninth first

both of you are right which is the annoying bit

i've kept my own sheet on this for about two years, not out of cleverness, out of not being able to tell any other way what predicts trouble isn't the score. its whether complaints share a shape. one guy waiting three weeks is a queue. eleven guys all getting told they're under enhanced review...

yeah. that's not the gotcha you think it is though

I did the same, different game, and I was older than you when I started. roulette sites were the obvious ones but the trading itself was the part that got me. Watching a market, timing a sale, being up or down on the week. By the time i touched an actual casino the emotional machinery was...

could be either honestly. plenty of them are still trading fine, they've just stopped being answerable to anyone. which is sort of the point people keep making and sort of not an emergency
