I might be mistaken but i know for a fact that in the US you have to claim your winnings on gambling, lotto and poker annd all that on your taxes. I remember reading that the guy who won the first survivor, richard hatch, never put his winnings on his tax income statement or whatever, and def got nabbed for it. But i was under the impression that in the UK, your winnings on gambling and poker do no have to be claimed on your teaxes. Maybe you could help me out with that one if i am mistaken. But hell, Id take 20-30% of my winnings back for a little bit of rain, and some craazy blokes and mates and all that pip pop cherrio stuff. But really though if I am mistaken please tell me, because I had asdpirations to move to where YOU are and get out of this god foresaken nation-state that is called teh united states of america. If i am wrong, i think ill just save my money and then go move to new zealand and never play poker again. But if im wrong about the UK and not having to claim your poker winnings please holla, cause everything ive looked up and all teh blokes i talked to said that i would not.
