(as an accountant, i knew they would have to send in a corrected w2g under my mother’s ssn stating no income, along with a new w2g stating the earnings for the winner under the correct ssn.) we called the irs and they confirmed the need for the casino to file these two forms, and then we had to call the casino to explain how they needed to do their job to correct this. weeks later, mom received a corrected w2g from the casino and i wrote a letter to irs explaining the situation and asked for the penalties and interest be reversed. eventually the case with the irs was resolved, but not without a lot of frustration and time. the casino did not seem too fazed with the error – they did apologize, but we will never go there again. i had mom call them to cancel her ‘club’ card so this wouldn’t happen again-to her, at least. the lesson learned here is… if you do enjoy playing the slots or table games at a casino, do be sure to keep track of your winnings. if it’s available to you, ask the casino for a list of your year-to-date winnings at the end of december to make sure it agrees with your actual figures, and question anything that looks wrong. i am sure there are jackpot winners who wind up paying tax on money they didn’t win. posted in uncategorized | comments off recover your casino gambling winnings as per the us-canada tax treaty, canadians and international patrons* can

of your winning income as casino winning taxes. you can win back this situation on your side by taking these casino-winning taxes back to you in form of refund. these tax refunds are not applicable to all those who are us residents but these are applicable to non-us residents because of an agreement signed between canada and us regarding to casino winning taxes. this treaty brings in light how

uncategorized | comments off super casino gambling – online and offline land-based casinos and online casino revenues and site releases are growing faster then ever. even after the dust has settled following the recent american law prohibiting deposits to online gambling companies, large organisations such as party gaming, ladbrokes and vip casino club are all increasing their efforts to attract a wider european or global audience. gambling itself is a compulsive and addictive activity, with numerous regulatory societies attempting to outlaw and even ban online gambling around the globe. regulatory environments themselves differ from country to country. while the us has sought keenly to identify ways of banning online gambling, the uk has lead the way to ensuring that online gambling remains a choice for many, but does not become a threat to others. its recent release of a new gambling act has sought to protect children and problem areas from abusive gambling, while attempting to levy a tax duty on all income from gambling both offline and online. the act will make it illegal to entice children to gamble and there will be compulsory age checks for online gambling websites. its new gambling act will provision for the construction of super casinos in selected areas across the country, though this has been scaled down from an initial 40 super casinos to around 8, following complaints from the public and opposition parties. the gambling act will allow casinos to operate 24 hours, with unlimited jackpots, and gambling will be allowed on sundays and bank holidays. as far as online websites are concerned, when the act comes into force at the end of september 2007, companies will be able to apply for a license to operate online gambling website from a uk base. countries differ in terms of how they levy a tax on gambling. for example, some will tax each bet individually while countries like the uk, tax only the gross profits that gambling organisations make. territories like malta and gibraltar offer competitive tax regimes as well as the benefits of an off-shore financial centre. australia has a large gambling population, where statistic show that 80% of its population gambles. super casinos are also allowed in australia, with sydney’s star city reputedly the size of 7 football fields. a recent study also showed that australians spend more money each week on gambling than they do on alcohol or clothes. state government proceeds from gambling have increased to around $3.8bn per annum, since 1998. what of other jurisdictions across the globe? below is a list of some countries and some interesting figures relating to gambling. australia 80% of population gamble legal age to gamble is 18 $80 billion gambling turnover in 2006 states received $3.8

revenues 2006 posted in uncategorized | comments off online gambling provides higher rates of return your best bet for casino gambling is playing online. online casinos offer better than vegas odds, deposit matches, convenience and a wider variety of games. there is a high level of competition between these casinos because of the ease of moving between them. they are competing not only with each other, but with land based casinos. online casinos do not have the large overhead of land based casinos and this savings is passed on to the player. online casinos do not have the expenses of traditional casinos. lavish vegas casinos with neon lights, multimillion dollar lobbies and dancing fountains are nice, but someone has to pay for them. cyber casinos look like small office buildings with 10 or 12 employees. their largest expenses are licensing the casino software and monitoring for fraudulent activities. traditional casinos will raise table minimums and offer fewer high paying slot machines during peak hours. there is limited competition and they have a captive audience. if the number of players looking for lower limit tables and higher paying slot machines became great enough a new casino would eventually fill this need. this is the law of supply and demand. in cyberspace this luxury does not exist. the ease of opening a new online casino to fill a void makes this practice impossible. in 2002, the united states court of appeals decided that the federal wire act applies only to online sports betting and not to games of chance. this legalized online casino gambling for us players. however, it did not make it legal to open an online casino inside the united states. it is very difficult to collect taxes on winnings from online casinos, because they are based outside of the united states. they do not report winnings to the irs and this has become a point of contention with both opponents and proponents of allowing us casinos to open online casinos. in response to the inability to collect taxes the us government has but many restrictions on the banking industry. these restrictions include coding online casino deposits and not allowing them from 13 states. the states that do not allow credit card deposits to online casinos are michigan, illinois, louisiana, oregon, washington, wisconsin, indiana, nevada, south dakota, new jersey and new york. banks and players quickly discovered that anonymous prepaid debit cards were the way around this. online casinos offer deposit match bonuses. these bonuses are largest on initial deposits. many online casinos will double your initial deposit up to around $1,000. some will continue to double, or at least match a percentage of, your first few deposits. this is done in hopes that once the player has set up their account it will be easier just to continue playing at the same casino. since there are only a few proven software packages, most online casinos are very similar. the ones that have set up their own software are generally not as secure. the match bonuses increase your odds and extend the amount of time you will spend playing with the same amount of money. overall the higher payout percentages, match bonuses and convenience of not having to travel make online gambling and better bet than traveling to a casino. posted in uncategorized | comments off ← older posts recent posts
