Does your country tax gambling winnings and if so do you declare it yourself or does the gambling operator withhold the taxes on your behalf?
I think it makes sense that casinos or other gambling platforms are taxed because they are running a business, but gambling winnings are not really an income because it is not a job.
besides most gamblers gamble secretly anyway so why would they want to file it on their tax fees.
Not the casino but the gambler's winnings, of course as a gambling company needs to pay taxes to the government and that is usually already quite mandatory for any businessman, but ii about the gambler who gets the winnings from gambling in some countries it is taxed, just like you when you get the winnings from your game or bet then the winnings are taxed by the government and will be deducted directly when you make a withdrawal.
It should be tax-free for gamblers because when they lose they get nothing, not even compensation from the government.
