Casinos in vegas to start up online pokersites in 2011

[jeremythegreat]

They will have better promotions then these stupid illegal sites. Alone the casinos will try to out beat the next casinos promo. bad part is now we will all have to pay taxes......... oh well, as long as we know its legal, also NO FOREIGNERS, just us players

[Fishhead]

1.....just for Nevada residents, correct?

2.....you should be paying taxex now

[Joe Sharp]

[Reload]

Only the winners have to pay taxes and there are not many of them in poker

[Irish Lumberjack]

It'll be legal soon enough. Too much money not to tax it.

[Grits n' Gravy]

all the big casino companies have gambling websites ready to roll out today. they've been developing them since 1999. just waiting on the go ahead from government. should be interesting.

which form of gambling would you say has the most winners?

[jjgold]

Euro poker halls great
Good perks
10000% safe

[illfuuptn]

You guys are getting WAYYYY ahead of yourselves. It's going to be A minimum of 2 years until something happens. There's been many different attempts with various bills over the past few years and they were all stalled. And the people who are stopping this aren't the kind of people who think it's unimportant, they stopped it because they're religious nutjobs. Even with tons of lobbying from out of work poker players and the PPA, people like JON KYL will put a halt to legislation because "JESUS SAID GAMBLE IS BAD."

[ryanjep]

way too early for casinos to jump into the game.

i dont have an exact number but 25% or so would be a rough estimate of how many players win at poker, while prob like 1-5% win at sports betting.....

[FishFace5]

what does tax it mean?
Tax it like normal income?
3-5% tax. sure. this works for everyone.
25-30% tax. like normal income. no professional gambler in any market overcomes that margin.

[durito]

25-30% tax. like normal income. no professional gambler in any market overcomes that margin.

it's already taxed like that now, there are quite a few pro's who do just fine.

[OmgUrMom]

lol where do you only get taxed 3-5%

[OmgUrMom]

maybe fishface was referring to rake, i could only assume.......

[sweethook]

this is way early

[Frogger]

25% ? More like 5% maybe

[underthe total]

which form of gambling would you say has the most winners?

poker without question
total # and %

[rm18]

25% ? More like 5% maybe

Well maybe 5% of players but winners play a lot more hands than losers. Sometimes even at low limits you are sitting with 7 long term winners on a 10 man table

[hockeyhy]

sports betting seems easier to beat than poker but it really isn't

[shade3599]

I heard they will tax deposits, withdraws, and winnings over 1200 dollars. Is that true?

[wiffle]

you are an idiot if you can't make at least a little money in poker

[ChileCheese]

Haha. I like how OP makes some reference to Foreigners as if they ruin the game of poker, or shouldnt be allowed to take an overweight inbreeds money from the the South.
First, somewhere along the line, your messed up family came to America. So go **** yourself.
Second, of course the world will be allowed to play with Americans, and as such, we will clean up, like we did in 05-06. Americans are the biggest Whales. Cant wait.

If this poker site is based in the US then they will be the ones cleaning up your money no matter what. Whether the US players win or not the government will take more than its fair share of money through rake and the players winning in the US will also get taxed. This would also create more jobs and boost the US economy.

Perhaps the sharpest post to date in this thread..................

[Domer]

all winnings are technically taxable income, but at the 5k mark, they are required to fill out a form

[underthe total]

i am glad all of you will start paying taxes, maybe mine will go down.

[gohabsgo]

25% ? More like 5% maybe

No 5% would be the % of players that play for a living.
Poker is the most profitable form of gambling by far.

[MIAMIHURRICANE]

time for the lobbyist

[unusialsusp5]

everyone who plays poker thinks they are good at it...nevada online will be for nevada residents only...religious wackjobs will stop it somehow for rest of you...not much freedom in this country...

[MadTiger]

9.9/10

[tblues2005]

That is probably why they are going after the ones offshore because Nevada is going to start doing this here soon.

[falconticket]

Might be time to move out west

[count da money]

good i hope so becuse i won't trust any offshore site
