Question: Do I have to claim my winnings for “online” casinoes or online games winnings run by other countries??

I’m from the U.S. To me I don’t feel that it is the same because these online casinoes are usually based in other countries. I’ve used King.com run by UK and it’s not really gambling but I play games and have won over 3,000 from that website competing with others. I’ve never claimed it on my tax forms. If i were to get audited how far back do they audit me? 1 or 5 years back?

It sounds like a stupid question, but really why do i need to file these for taxes?

Answer: Simple answer, You are responsible as a US citizen to pay taxes on your WORLDWIDE income.

So, yes, you need to report the winnings and pay taxes on them.

In answer to your audit question. Generally the limit is three years. If you under report income by more than 25%, then the limit is 6 years, and if you don’t file a return, or you file a fraudulent return then the statute NEVER runs out.

I hope that helps.
