The Republican reconciliation package implements significant changes to gambling tax laws. Professional high-stakes gamblers will now face a cap of 90 percent on gambling-loss deductions, impacting their tax obligations. A gambler winning $100,000 with losses of the same amount will now owe taxes on $10,000 in profits. This change affects the entire gambling industry, leading to worse odds for recreational gamblers and potentially reduced earnings for casinos and sportsbooks. States relying on gambling revenue may need to adjust their economic forecasts due to potential declines in overall betting volume.
With the Republican reconciliation package's new cap on gambling-loss deductions, professional gamblers will face higher taxes, which could significantly impact the industry and betting markets.
The previous tax law allowed gamblers to offset their winnings fully with losses, making high-stakes gambling more appealing. The new cap limits deductions to 90 percent, affecting tax liabilities.
