In some countries, bettors don'y pay taxes

In Spain bets are taxed just as a money that you win from job.
But i was told that in UK...NO¡¡

How is this possible?
The question is.... why do you pay taes if you work and no if you bet? Bet should be considerated as a job.

In most countries bookmakers are licensed to offer gambling products that are basically games of chance. The logic is that your chance of losing is greater than your chance of winning so it should not be taxed as earned income unless you are a 'professional'.

Plus the bookmakers are taxed on the bet money as turnover, which effectively means that money has been taxed once. What Spain and others do by taxing is effectively double taxation, which is morally/legally questionable really.

It's more normal for end user gambling activity to not be taxed around the world.

here double taxation is breaking the sector. people ho play poker have moved. Daniel Lacalle (spanish economist living in London) always says that in UK business pay less taxes and so UK goes better than Spain. Here we have about 2 million of lazy people that don't want to work and they want their SUBSIDY

In Mexico, Land based players some times pay taxes as high as 7%, (dependent on the state they are betting in), on their profit from Sports bets, as well as net casino winning, (from machines)... Online is a different story depending on who the operator is.
