If you mean, you don't want to pay taxed on gambling winnings, but you willing to pay income tax, this should be possible.
So, first of all, make sure you not gamble on KYC casino, so your casino will not have any track of you. But, make sure the coins you deposit to the casino already mixed or use DEX, because if you not mix it and you use CEX, there's a chance CEX know where you deposit your coins.
When you want to cash out, you should mix it again.
You can claim the money from online jobs, gigs, etc.

In my country the fiat based gambling platforms will automatically deduct the payable tax amount from the winnings but crypto isn't regulated so I have to report it on my own and I guess I didn't win much from gambling so I don't have dedicated tab for my gambling winnings but for whole crypto income yes I have paid taxes to the government.Tax auditing is kind of complicated subject so let's approach the professional to pay the taxes then only you can find is there any way to avoid those taxes for your profile.

well if the government’s interested to see any tax evader… jkbut honestly this would depend on the kind of casino you played at if it’s online and it’s non kyc you can probably get away with not paying any taxes for anything you win since when you do file your taxes you can leave this out of it
but if it’s kyc and it’s a local casino then maybe it’ll be harder but not impossible i reckon goodluck op let us know if you ever get caught
I don't pay anything, since the moment I chose to stay in the world of cryptocurrencies, I usually use casinos that allow me to use this type of money, so I connect my wallet, do what I have to do and nothing else, there is no possibility of me even thinking about paying anything. For me, it doesn't make sense to live with cryptocurrencies and keep giving satisfaction to governments or declaring things, well, that's just my point of view. Zero declaration.

In our country currently we don't pay tax for betting or gambling, though even though they are planning to implement this in our country but I don't think it would be that effectives with the cryptocurrency (bitcoin) gambling site, maybe they can only imposed this with land based casinos/betting site, but I don't think it would be that common with online casino/betting site.Nowadays, online casinos especially the web3 casino are not easily to be that penetrable by government or any authorities to have a total control of their gambling sites. And like few people already said, each countries has their ways of taxations and the percentages they are charging from per gamblers could differs from other countries across the taxed gambling counties.
If they regulate it, they will tax you, and on our side here, you get deducted 20% depending on the prize. Our government implements a system where they operate some of the gambling platforms, like lottery and casinos, so they get the profit, and they also tax your winnings.
In the Philippines, I believe lottery winnings weren’t taxable before, but when the TRAIN law was introduced, they started taxing 20% of the winnings.Just imagine hitting $1 million - they’d take $200k off the top. Easy money for them, right? Makes you think twice about those “lucky” wins!

yeah, they are too greedy.. they are already making big collections daily and still they want to have a cut of the winning. Quote
If your country has guidelines, you should comply lest the government flag and penalize you. The governments are good at going after tax evaders, so don't think of not paying your dues.
I once won $2k on a regulated sportsbook, and I didn’t pay any taxes on it. I haven’t heard anything from the government either, so maybe they’re not strictly enforcing it yet. It seems like they’re still a bit lax when it comes to taxing gambling winnings.

Sorry but I couldn't resist from creating this meme.
To be honest, paying taxes on gambling is only for those who actually manage to stay in profits at the end of the year.
I believe, for most people including me, we don't have to worry about paying taxes on gambling because we never make it to that bracket.
Also, is there a way to avoid these taxes without getting into trouble?
I think there that fiat gambling platform is not easy to avoid paying tax because if a government is taxing on such gains, they would already regulated it and get the identity of players there on the platform and so it won't be easy not to identify a winner. Moreover, the government would get the data directly from the platform without going for the player. It will be deducted from source.
But with cryptocurrency casinos online, this may be bypassed, like those players who use VPN making their IP untraceable.

I thought casinos are going to pay the taxes directly? And the question is how we gamblers going to pay if we play online casinos? It's not like that we have to declare everything to the government so that we can pay them taxes. We don't want to avoid taxes as we might get into trouble, but there are not clear cut rules on how specially if we play online games. For winning in traditional casinos, I think there are no taxes for gamblers and again, it will be the casino's responsibility and not us. We can understand if it is local lottery that you won, as it is being run by government so before you get your winnings taxes are already deducted.

Whether you have to pay taxes or not depends on what you play, where you play and how much you win. In my region, if you are playing games like slots, blackjack, poker or sportsbook, you don't pay taxes separately, they are deducted when you try to withdraw. Years ago, there was only 1% withdrawal tax which was paid by the casino but now, the government increased taxes from 1% to 4% and when the customer tries to withdraw money, that 4% is automatically deducted from his balance.If you win a jackpot in a casino, then you pay a big tax. If casinos put their profit into jackpot, then casinos don't pay taxes and it's on you but this process is automatic as far as I know, you are only eligible to withdraw what's left after taxes.

The government mandates gambling companies to collect tax on their behalf. Hence registered casinos or sports betting platforms deduct some percentage of tax from every win and remit it to the government. But unregistered gambling operators are not under such obligations. The tax is 5% for residents and 15% for non-residents.

There are agitations among gambling operators that unlicensed and foreign operators will get more customers than local operators. So using crypto gambling platforms or patronizing foreign or unregistered platforms will help in avoiding tax. Cryptocurrencies are not closely regulated in my country, so you can easily bypass taxes.
I never pay taxes, from gambling winnings because my country prohibits gambling if caught then it can be supported, so we do it secretly.
Then what if the winnings from crypto the government will find it difficult to detect your winnings right? Maybe if you win a large amount in fiat then obviously the government will tax you and it depends on the government.

Those who have experience paying taxes on gambling winnings, how much do you typically pay? Also, is there a way to avoid these taxes without getting into trouble?
When I was living in Spain I paid taxes on gambling winnings which are added to your earned income on your tax return. So it's a bummer if you earn a lot of money from your job because I paid 37% on gambling winnings (the total income on average was lower, 20 or 25%, but once you pass a band you pay that percentage, which in my case was 37%). From online fiat casinos you can't escape paying taxes because everything is recorded and the information is passed on to the government. Not at land-based casinos.
If you're going to avoid those taxes you're getting into potential trouble, whether you want to or not. The most common thing people do is to gamble in crypto casinos and not declare it. You are obliged to declare but it is easy not to get caught, and to avoid getting caught in big trouble, the normal thing to do would be not to bet very large amounts.

Usually even before the winnings get to you, the gambling house already has taken some money off of it. But in my country, gambling winnings are actually considered income tax. So, we do have to file it under that.In my opinion, if you were just playing in a low small gambling house and only won a small amount then you could probably get away with not paying any taxes for it but if you have won something big then it would be a lot more difficult to hide that.

Doesn't it make sense to collect the tax from the gambling company? Let's say I won today, I may lose tomorrow. What will happen then? In some countries, it is said that cryptocurrency will be taxed, but not everyone who invests in cryptocurrency wins? Who will pay when there is a loss? I think if there is a tax on such issues, collecting taxes from the gambling company or the stock exchanges is more rational and logical.It's typically about our declaration if it can be added to income then it's subjected and classified as income tax. But if you don't want to declare that, and you're wanting to evade tax for your winnings then you might face bigger trouble when the taxation bureau finds it out. So, you volunteer and go ahead asking that to the staff in the taxation bureau or whatever it's called in your country. But I know, many gamblers don't mind doing that because eventually they've got more losses than winnings.
The application of taxes I think only applies in countries that legalize gambling, while in countries that prohibit gambling, of course the taxes do not apply, sometimes the application of taxes that are too high actually makes those who win will avoid the application and they do it in various ways, but I agree with what you said if transparency in reporting income, Including winnings from gambling, it is very important to help us in avoiding legal problems that may occur by the tax bureau, but in addition to having to fulfill our obligations in taxes, the tax bureau should also be able to provide us with guarantees and rights as taxpayers that need to be protected in the event of a problem.legendary

Well, I am not very sure about this, but there are some countries where gamblers pay tax on their winning without them even knowing it. How this is done is, when the gambler wins some money and requested withdrawal of the money from the casino to the bank account, they casino will remove the tax alongside with the processing fee, this tax will be remitted to the government of that country in the casino name, not the gamblers. So in other words, we can say that it's the casino responsible for paying tax for their users, so, paying tax for every win from gambling is no longer the responsibility of the gambler, but the responsibility of the casino.Like I said before, I am not very sure about this but a friend of mine mentioned one country where such is their law, unfortunately, I currently can not remember the name of the country.
It was not paid directly but was automatically taken from the winnings. I experienced it at a nearby casino here in our place and it is explained why the winning amount is cut by some percent. After that, I didn't gamble again on that casino although they are the legal ones because they are taking taxes from you.
Still, I don't like the idea that it can be seen plainly because the winning amount will be different from what you will receive until how it goes with online casinos where you won't even feel it. I play in a legal local online casino so I don't think they are escaping tax, it's just that there no explanation behind it.
That's how the regulated by the government casinos work. Not the casino's fault, but you get my point. I also don't like the idea; it's 15% here, and it's deductible on any withdrawal from €100. I've used such casinos in the past for a few numbered times but didn't have any significant winnings, thus didn't pay any taxes. Now, there's no such thing as cryptocurrency casinos. I haven't paid any taxes on any of my earnings; they aren't regulated, and unless you're moving significant amounts of money towards your bank account, you should be safe.

In My country, there's no tax on gambling winnings. Everyone is free to gamble as they please, without tax implications, regardless of the amount won. Gambling is essentially tax-free. While some winners voluntarily share their winnings with fellow gamblers through giveaways, this is entirely optional. In my experience with this gambling community, I have never seen anyone pay taxes on their winnings.
