‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ potentially very bad for poker (players) in the US + STAY ON TOPIC!!
This makes Black Friday look like a children’s birthday party.
There’s no chance this passes right? It would
Doesn’t seem like a given that the senate bill gets through the house.
It will pass.
The bill is passing. This is kind of like UIGEA where everyone thinks is stupid but that’s the point. Puritans control the government and they despise everyone. Elections have consequences
The Leopards are hungry for faces
By far the worst thing this orange buffoon has ever done. Impeachment, now!
RIP !!! Senate voted 51-50 in favor of the ****ing bill & I don't see how HOUSE wont pass this either .
The End came to soon to early
What chicken **** mod deleted my comment?
[I]"Senate Version of Big, Beautiful Bill Is Bigly Ugly Towards Gambling
Posted on July 1, 2025 by Russ
Consider Joe, an amateur gambler who comes to Las Vegas once a year. He breaks exactly even, with $100,000 of gambling winnings (all on W-2Gs) and $100,000 of gambling losses. If he doesn’t keep a session log he’s going to owe tax on $10,000 of income.

This part is confusing to me.
If Joe “doesn’t keep a session log”, wouldn’t he owe taxes on all of his $100,000 in W2G-reported gambling winnings, because you need to keep a session log in order to deduct gambling losses?
And if he -did- keep a session log, he would still owe taxes on $10k because that is what this new law says.
Does the new law change something about the requirement to keep a session log?
fine, I'll just post it again:
It's sad that the racist, fascist, sexist dumbasses who populate 2+2 only care about this bill because it's going to affect their bottom line. It wasn't the opening of an American concentration camp, it wasn't that we elected a criminal President, it wasn't that we're ripping health care out of the hands of people who can't afford it, it wasn't that the bill cuts the taxes of billionaire while raising it for the ever-shrinking middle class, it wasn't that gestapo thugs are disappearing both immigrants and American citizens off the streets and that this bill gives 100s of millions of dollars to ICE to increase their terror, no....
None of that mattered until they realized that the face-eating leopard is now going after their face.
Well, it's too late. Now what?

Delete THAT, you chickenshit mod. But this time, OWN IT and tell me why.
And if you do delete it, I'll just post it again. And again. Until you ban my ass. Because **** you.

Dominic,
P&S is close to a free for all now. You definitely could air your views there without fear of a ban.

Would this change mean that if in 2026 you spent $200k in tourney buy-ins, and won $100k in cash outs, you would still owe taxes despite being a net loser?

First time? The govt been doing this crap my entire lifetime regardless of administration.
Of course people don't care until it affects them, thousands of years of history have taught us that lesson.
All the trampling on rights gets ignored by democrats when it's a Democrat doing the trampling, and same for Republicans. They only care when the other team is doing it. Completely laughable and Trump derangement syndrome even more so. Thinking he's some sort of evil menace when the dudes an actor who just likes attention and ultimately follows orders on the big issues from his masters just like the rest of em.
"I didn't think the face-eating leopard would eat MY face," says all the dumbass, fascist, racist poker players on 2+2 who voted for Trump.Because it wasn't enough to call your Congressmen over ICE kidnappings, people losing their health care, billionaires getting tax breaks while poor people's taxes go UP, a criminal President, a compromised Supreme Court, concentration camps
So there are actually sane decent people in here????
You just saved my day buddy
