you havent gone off and gotten married yet sand have u?

i dont think you should have to pay taxes on any money till you get the check. Even at that in land based casinos any win over 1200, you have to fill out all kinds of forms and pay immediately the tax of the state you win it in then when tax time comes you have to claim that. This info from my own experience last year.

so make alot of little wins no prob. so online has to be the same way.

Or come live in the UK!!!! Our sites/high street bookies/bingo halls, pay the winners tax from their profits!!! Ship it! Finally something good to brag about living in this damp, dreary place called the UK.

Also, i can ear a living online and get away pretty much tax free with all the stuff i can deduct!
