ELI5:Why are online casinos and online poker rooms illegal in the USA, yet paid sports fantasy leagues are legal?

I understand that some states allow online gambling within their own jurisdiction. However, fantasy leagues for money are legal in almost all states and across state lines.

Cardano Poker Site

Hi,
I have been a professional poker player for the past 3.5 years and have been following poker and the community for the past 8 years. Also, I am a current ADA holder. After learning about the blockchain, I saw the benefits that could be obtained by running a poker site on one. I think a well done poker website on a blockchain could kill every other kind of poker site and would love to see this come to fruition. However, to create a huge poker site that rivals the likes of PokerStars requires a ton of money, experience and a huge team. Therefore, I am a bit lost at how to proceed. I guess hopefully this post catches the eyes of someone that is looking for an idea and has the expertise, team, and capabilities to pull it off.
Below I have listed the current problems that plague the poker industry, all which can be fixed by the blockchain. After, I list the challenges that would be faced if someone tried this endeavor.
Problems with Current Poker Industry:

Challenges:

If anyone wants to run with this idea it is all yours and would be glad to help. I have been working relentlessly at poker the last 3.5 years to become one of the best in the world. In the process, I know what the players and community desires and lacks. I would love to have a strategic role in a site like this and really just want to solve the problems that I face everyday as a professional poker player.

update: Tsarukyan's gold mine didn't have a license

Back in July we learned that Nature Ministry issued a $200 fine to BHK leader Tsarukyan's Mkhart gold mine for operating without an environmental audit. The Ministry sent the case to prosecutors for examination.
The report says: // Tsarukyan's Multi Group company operated the mine without a license to use water since 2011. The structures were built without a SHMAG environmental assessment, and the pollution exceeded the legal limits.
The mine underwent an audit on Feb-12-2018. This audit revealed a document that exposed the existence of these unauthorized structures (factory and mine's tailing). //

ex-official's company fined for damaging a river

Former Investigative Committee chief HHK Aghvan Hovsepyan's family runs a hydro-plant called Astghaberd. It was licensed in April 2020.
It received a $400 penalty (second occurrence) for blocking too much river water.
https://hetq.am/hy/article/121829

Vedi Reservoir / new and expensive

85 reservoirs were built in Armenia during USSR. New ones are needed to solve the water shortage.
Vedi Reservoir is being built, since 2017, near the Ararat province's Vedi river. The $90m project is co-funded by France (75) and Armenia (15). It'll be completed by 2022.
irrigation
4,000 hectares land in 8 settlements of Ararat valley will be auto-irrigated without electricity use. Part of these lands is already irrigated with Hrazdan river water. It remains to be seen whether the $90m project is "worth it".
seismic stability
Armenia was divided into 4 seismic zones after the 1988 earthquake. On the scale of 1-4, the Vedi reservoir is in the Level-3 danger zone. The builders took this into account and will make it resistant to 9-10pt quakes. "Even during the 1988 quake no reservoirs were destroyed in Armenia," said the builder.

Kocharyan's lawyer is in trouble for not disclosing properties / Grants from George Soros

You're supposed to disclose your income and property if your spouse is a judge. Kocharyan's top lawyer Hayk Alumyan's wife Armenuhi Badiryan is a judge.
Alumyan hasn't filed declaration paperwork for 9 years. CivilNet outlet contacted the Corruption Prevention Committee (CPC). The CPC then asked Alumyan to explain why the docs are missing.
Alumyan claims his record contains attorney-related legal secrets that are protected under law, so he's exempt from the declaration.
CPC, citing a law, made a counter-claim. If Alumyan fails to submit the docs, CPC will launch an ethics hearing which could turn into a felony case.
CPC only needs the 2019 documents. "Our primary job is to prevent corruption and to give a person a chance to correct their mistake."
Alumyan is currently preparing the documents.
 
could he be hiding it due to George Soros connection?
Kocharyan's camp is a starch critic of George Soros. They like to present Nikol Pashinyan as Soros's puppet who is here to make your kids gay and to force you to forget the Armenian language.
Alumyan revealed in 2019 that he took grants from Soros's Open Society Foundation because his clients didn't have cash, so Soros paid their bills. He also traveled to a lawyers' conference paid by Soros. He also cooperated with Soros's team tasked with various legal reforms between 2014-2019.

HHK tatik roasts Pashinyan with a diss track / Thanks America / Asks Putin to wire cash

HHK party has a fangirl grandma known as "HHK tatik". She used to stay outside of HHK office and Parliament to ask for handouts while praising Serj.
Today she thanked the United States Congress and the government for recognizing the Armenian genocide.
She also thanked Vladimir Putin. "I love you very much, Vladimir Putin. My father died in WW2 at the age of 40. I'm his only child. I ask you to help with an apartment for my 7-child family. I'm sending you my bank account. Can you wire some cash to grandma?"
She then badmouthed Levon Ter-Petrosyan and read a poem about Nikol Pashinyan being a liar. (gotta give it to grandma, she knows how to appease Putin)

former officials busted with stealing money dedicated for elderly

The report says: // Labor Ministry officials and social services employees embezzled public funds in 2015-2018.
The budget envisioned funds to help thousands of lonely elderly and disabled. For the funds not to be cut, the officials exaggerated the number of recipients by entering thousands of fake names. $373,000 was embezzled. A felony case is launched. //

Privet Rob

19 years ago today, Kocharyan's bodyguards murdered his co-villager in the Paplavok restaurant's toilet for simply greeting Kocharyan with "privet Rob".

freedom of speech / the U.S. Library of Congress

You may remember that when the Emergency State was declared, per legacy law, the media was required to circulate only official info about the virus.
After prompt criticism about free speech, the govt quickly lifted the restrictions. Pashinyan would later complain that the removal of restrictions allowed conspiracy theories to aid the spread of the virus. Nonetheless, the restrictions weren't re-implemented.
 
The Library of Congress prepared a report about the fake news and how various countries dealt with it, and also mentioned the aforementioned process in Armenia.
It mentions another law drafted by Nature Ministry that could allow the Ministry to keep certain info secret from the public. Critics say it will hinder environmental activists' efforts, while the Ministry says it's needed to protect rare animals/plants by keeping their location/details classified.
The Library also mentioned a law that restricts the entry of foreign channels in Armenia's free over-the-air public airways, unless an agreement is signed first. The govt says it's aimed as "protecting the Armenian language" and "prioritizing programming in Armenian" by preferring Armenian channels over foreign ones.

relations with USA, RUS, EU, and neighbors

Security Councilman Grigoryan: a Russian analytical agency published a report about CSTO bloc cooperation which gave Armenia a very high mark.
Pashinyan: we'll soon hold the second round of strategic cooperation talks with the U.S. We have unusual but effective relations with our colleagues. The U.S., EU, and Russia are very important to us. There will be an EAEU meeting in Yerevan soon. Relations with Iran and Georgia also remain warm.

Open letter from a group of Russian-speaking LitRPG-authors

How Iceland, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands became a haven for cyber-criminals.
We are a group of Russian-speaking independent writers living in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and the United States, writing in the genres of LitRPG, RealRPG, fantasy and science fiction.
We are united by a rejection of piracy and infringement of intellectual property rights. Each of us is an ordinary person who devotes all his free time to his favorite pastime. We are not millionaires or published writers swimming in money. Each of us started from scratch and made our own way by publishing on the Internet.
We are currently publishing our books on Russian literary portals https://author.today, https://litnet.com and https://www.litres.ru. Thanks to these sites, we got the opportunity to sell books without going through publishing houses. This is the main difference between us and Western authors, who have the opportunity to go Indie and successfully sell Kindle/Amazon to a multi-million audience.
Thanks to the readers who support us by purchasing our books. Thanks to them, some of our books have become known not only among Russian-speaking readers, but also in Western countries. Our books have been translated and are being translated into English and German, due to which fans of the LitRPG and RealRPG genres are familiar with our work all over the world.
Nevertheless, for many of us, selling books to Russian-speaking readers remains the only source of income. Book translations can cost up to $10,000-$12,000, and the costs do not always pay off.
None of us make huge amounts of money. On average, our monthly income does not exceed $700.
One of the key problems for Russian-speaking authors is the theft of their books and their illegal publication on pirated resources. Books are stolen at the stage of writing, often depriving us of the opportunity to work fully. Criminals deprive us of the opportunity to receive normal wages for our work. At the same time, the “pirates” themselves earn on advertising posted on their sites. Often this is illegal advertising - on such sites you can find advertising banners of illegal online casinos, services of prostitutes, pornographic services and a lot of other advertising prohibited by law. Some of the criminal resources use Google Adsense at all.
The largest of these sites is https://flibusta.is, with its main mirror https://flibusta.site. On the first, there is no advertisement, but the second is completely filled with advertising banners.
This is a well-known criminal resource, which publishes not only books by Russian-speaking writers, but also books by famous Western authors in different languages. For example:
In addition, there you can find books by almost any famous writer in his native language. No countermeasures from hosting companies should be followed.
Imagine that Andrzej Sapkowski’s books were stolen at the dawn of his writing career and that they were publicly available. They would refuse to delete them, due to the fact that the writer lives in Poland. Sapkowski himself, in order to feed his family, got a job as a sales manager. The world would lose the famous writer and the world of The Witcher. Because of the greed of the owners of pirate sites and the devil-may-care attitude of hosting companies that refuse to comply with the same laws for everyone.
The “pirate” site https://flibusta.is uses the services of the hosting company Orange Website (https://www.orangewebsite.com) from Iceland, and its “advertising mirror” https://flibusta.site uses the services of the French hosting company Scaleway (https://www.scaleway.com).
The site https://flibusta.is is the base of stolen books and a kind of center around which a huge number of sites of smaller criminal gangs revolve, which automatically download books to themselves.
We have sent complaints to both hosting companies. Scaleway reacted absolutely formally. We had to send several complaints to get our books blocked on https://flibusta.site. And so for each individual book. On average, four requests were required, since after the first, all illegally published books remained in their places.
Orange Website responded that the company does not obey the laws of the European Union or the US DMCA and will ignore any complaints until the Icelandic court is ordered. They know very well that we are not in a position to provide financial support for lawyers and the legal process in Iceland. Therefore, such an answer sounded like a mockery.
Both hosting companies are calmly working with cyber-criminals who caused colossal damage to Russian-language LitRPG-authors. We believe that if it was a violation of the rights of writers from France or Iceland, they would certainly react as required by law. But they don't give a damn about the rights of Russian-speaking authors. These companies seem to care more about money from digital criminal gangs.
Among other hosting companies that support piracy and completely ignore complaints under the DMCA or EU Directives, three can be distinguished:
  1. Private Layer (https://privatelayer.com). A Swiss company that did not respond to any of our requests.
  2. Zomro (https://zomro.com). A hosting company with an office in Lithuania. Several dozen pirate sites have chosen this hoster's servers as a haven for illegal content. In response to complaints, the company redirects to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]), but there is no response from there.
  3. NovoServe (https://www.novoserve.com). The company from the Netherlands hosts a total of at least forty criminal sites. As an example, we can give a small list of similar websites:
Some of these sites simply publish our books, while others sell them illegally, taking advantage of their complete impunity.
The well-known criminal site https://librusec.pro, which openly sells stolen books, uses Wholesale Internet hosting, hosted in the USA (https://www.wholesaleinternet.net), which also does not respond to our complaints, despite the criminal nature of their clients' work. obvious.
We should also mention the messenger https://telegram.org, the support of which does not even consider it necessary to respond to our complaints. There are hundreds of channels out there where people discuss the best ways to steal books and coordinate their activities there. An excellent messenger has turned into a den of criminals who feel great as the support team takes no action. At the same time, the messenger is registered in the USA and must comply with the DMCA law, but does not respond to complaints. Unfortunately, criminals are more important to them than Russian-speaking writers.
We have exhausted all available methods of influence. Now there is a situation where cyber criminals are destroying modern Russian-language literature and at the same time feel completely protected from any consequences. Hosting companies from the European Union work with them in flagrant violation of DMCA law and EU copyright directives.
The only thing that remains for us is to make this situation public, in the hope of a public reaction and possible interest from the police of the countries in which these hosting companies operate. These types of criminals require more public scrutiny than legal claims. We are asking you to post this open letter, or material based on it, wherever possible.
Our main task is to attract public attention and, if possible, the attention of law enforcement agencies to the activities of hosting companies that condone piracy.
To clarify any information, you can contact us through the writers' profiles on Facebook or by Email.
If you have read to the end and are wondering why all this. We are confident that the LitRPG community is full of smart people with competencies in a variety of areas, including copyright laws. If you can advise which intellectual property protection agency or lawyer we can turn to, that will help us a lot.
In addition, perhaps this case will be of interest to someone from the media who will help us.

[Lost in the Sauce] Trump admin hides Paycheck Protection program details; lawmakers benefit from loans

Welcome to Lost in the Sauce, keeping you caught up on political and legal news that often gets buried in distractions and theater… or a global health crisis.
Title refers to: The Trump admin is blocking IGs from getting info on over $1 trillion in relief spending, including corporation bailouts. The admin is also withholding PPP info from Congress, meaning we don't know if Trump or his family took taxpayer money. Additionally, we learned that at least 4 members of Congress have benefited from PPP money, but aren't required to disclose it.
Housekeeping:

Coronavirus

Inspectors general warned Congress last week that the Trump administration is blocking scrutiny of more than $1 trillion in spending related to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the previously undisclosed letter, Department of Treasury attorneys concluded that the administration is not required to provide the watchdogs with information about the beneficiaries of programs like the $500 billion in loans for corporations.
Treasury Secretary Mnuchin refused to provide Congress with the names of recipients of the taxpayer-funded coronavirus business loans. After criticism, Mnuchin began to walk back his denial, saying he will talk to lawmakers on a bipartisan basis “to strike the appropriate balance for proper oversight” of PPP loans “and appropriate protection of small business information.”
At least 4 lawmakers have benefited in some way from the Paycheck Protection program they helped create. Politico has been told there are almost certainly more -- but there are zero disclosure rules, even for members of Congress.
  • Republicans on the list include Rep. Roger Williams of Texas, a wealthy businessman who owns auto dealerships, body shops and car washes, and Rep. Vicky Hartzler of Missouri, whose family owns multiple farms and equipment suppliers across the Midwest. The Democrats count Rep. Susie Lee of Nevada, whose husband is CEO of a regional casino developer, and Rep. Debbie Mucarsel Powell of Florida, whose husband is a senior executive at a restaurant chain that has since returned the loan.
Mick Mulvaney dumped as much as $550,000 in stocks the same day Trump assured the public the US economy was 'doing fantastically' amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Mulvaney unloaded his holdings in three different mutual funds, each of which is primarily made up of US stocks. The next day, the value of the mutual funds tanked.

Cases rising in many states

Good summary: There was supposed to be a peak. But the stark turning point, when the number of daily COVID-19 cases in the U.S. finally crested and began descending sharply, never happened. Instead, America spent much of April on a disquieting plateau, with every day bringing about 30,000 new cases and about 2,000 new deaths. This pattern exists because different states have experienced the coronavirus pandemic in very different ways…The U.S. is dealing with a patchwork pandemic.
As of Friday, coronavirus cases were significantly climbing in 16 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Washington.
Oklahoma is experiencing a massive increase in coronavirus cases just days before Trump’s planned rally in Tulsa. In Tulsa county itself, 1 in roughly 390 people have tested positive. Yet Trump plans on cramming 20,000 people in an event with voluntary face mask policy and no social distancing. Attendees must sign a waiver that absolves the president’s campaign of any liability from virus-related illnesses.
  • On Monday, Pence lied saying that Oklahoma has “flattened the curve.” As you can see at any of the resources immediately below, this is not even close to true. Over the past 14 days, the state has seen a 124% increase in cases and reports 65% of ICU beds are in use.
  • Tulsa World Editorial Board: This is the wrong time and Tulsa is the wrong place for the Trump rally. "We don't know why he chose Tulsa, but we can’t see any way that his visit will be good for the city...Again, Tulsa will be largely alone in dealing with what happens at a time when the city’s budget resources have already been stretched thin."
  • Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that he is a victim of double standards when it comes to perception of his decision to resume campaign rallies in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, declaring that attempts to “covid shame” his campaign “won’t work!”
Resources to track increases: There are many different sites with various methods of visualizing the spread of coronavirus. Here are some that may be particularly useful this summer… Topos COVID-19 compiler homepage and graphs of each state since re-opening. How we reopen Safely has stats on each state’s progress towards meeting benchmarks to reopen safely (hint: almost none have reached all the checkpoints). WaPo has a weekly national map of cases/deaths; the largest regional clusters are in the southeast.
On Monday, Trump twice said that “if we stop testing right now, we’d have very few cases, if any,” (video). Aside from the fact that cases exist even if we don’t test for them, we cannot explain the rising number of cases by increased testing capacity: In at least 14 states, the positive case rate is increasing faster than the increase in the average number of tests.
  • Reminder: In March Trump told Fox News that he didn't want infected patients from a cruise ship to disembark because it would increase the number of reported cases in the US. "I like the numbers being where they are," Trump said at the time. "I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault."
Fired scientist Rebekah Jones builds coronavirus dashboard to rival Florida’s… Her site shows thousands more people with the coronavirus, and hundreds of thousands fewer who have been tested, than the site run by the Florida Health Department.

Equipment and supplies

More studies prove wearing masks limits transmission and spread of coronavirus… One study from Britain found that routine face mask use by 50% or more of the population reduced COVID-19 spread to an R of less than 1.0. The R value measures the average number of people that one infected person will pass the disease on to. An R value above 1 can lead to exponential growth. The study found that if people wear masks whenever they are in public it is twice as effective at reducing the R value than if masks are only worn after symptoms appear.
Meanwhile, Trump officials refuse to wear masks and Trump supporters copy his behavior… VP Mike Pence, leader of the coronavirus task force, published a tweet showing himself in a room full of Trump staffers, none wearing masks or practicing social distancing. Pence deleted the tweet shortly after criticism. A poll last week showed that 66% of likely-Biden-voters “always wear a mask,” while 83% of likely-Trump-voters “neverarely wear a mask.”
  • Trump’s opposition to face masks hasn’t stopped him from selling them to his supporters, though. The online Trump Store is selling $20 cotton American flag-themed face masks.
  • Yesterday, we learned that South Carolina Republican Rep. Tom Rice and family have tested positive for the coronavirus. Just two weeks ago, Rice was on the House floor and halls of the Capitol without wearing a mask.
Internal FEMA data show that the government’s supply of surgical gowns has not meaningfully increased since March… The slides show FEMA’s plan to ramp up supply into June and July hinges on the reusing of N95 masks and surgical gowns, increasing the risk of contamination. Those are supposed to be disposed of after one use.
Nursing homes with urgent needs for personal protective equipment say they’re receiving defective equipment as part of Trump administration supply initiative. Officials say FEMA is sending them gowns that look more like large tarps -- with no holes for hands -- and surgical masks that are paper-thin.
More than 1,300 Chinese medical-device companies that registered to sell PPE in the U.S. during the coronavirus pandemic used bogus registration data… These companies listed as their American representative a purported Delaware entity that uses a false address and nonworking phone number.
Florida is sitting on more than 980,000 unused doses of hydroxychloroquine, but hospitals don’t want it… Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered a million doses of the drug to show support for Trump, but very few hospitals have requested it.

Native American communities struggle

The CARES Act money for Native American tribes, meant to assist people during the pandemic, came with restrictions that are impeding efforts to limit the transmission of the virus. For instance, the funds can only be used to cover expenses that are "incurred due to the public health emergency." On the Navajo Nation, the public health emergency is inherently related to some basic infrastructure problems. 30% of Navajo don’t have running water to wash their hands, but the money can’t be used to build water lines.
Federal and state health agencies are refusing to give Native American tribes and organizations representing them access to data showing how the coronavirus is spreading around their lands, potentially widening health disparities and frustrating tribal leaders already ill-equipped to contain the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has turned down tribal epidemiologists’ requests for data that it’s making freely available to states.
A Hospital’s Secret Coronavirus Policy Separated Native American Mothers From Their Newborns… Pregnant Native American women were singled out for COVID-19 testing based on their race and ZIP code, clinicians say. While awaiting results, some mothers were separated from their newborns, depriving them of the immediate contact doctors recommend. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced that state officials would investigate the allegations.

Personnel & appointees

Former IG Steve Linick told Congress he was conducting five investigations into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and the State Department before he was fired. In addition to investigating Pompeo's potential misuse of taxpayer funds and reviewing his decision to expedite an $8 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia, Linick’s office was conducting an audit of Special Immigrant Visas, a review of the International Women of Courage Award, and another review "involving individuals in the Office of the Protocol."
  • Pompeo confidant emerges as enforcer in fight over watchdog’s firing: Linick testified that Undersecretary of State for Management Brian Bulatao, a decades-old friend of Pompeo’s, “tried to bully [him]” out of investigating Pompeo.
Trump has empowered John McEntee, director of the Presidential Personnel Office, to make significant staffing changes inside top federal agencies without the consent — and, in at least one case, without even the knowledge — of the agency head. Many senior officials in Trump's government are sounding alarms about the loss of expertise and institutional knowledge.
Trump’s nominee for under secretary of defense for policy, retired Army Brig. Gen. Anthony Tata, has a history of making Islamophobic and inflammatory remarks against prominent Democratic politicians, including falsely calling former President Barack Obama a Muslim.
Amid racial justice marches, GOP advances Trump court pick hostile to civil rights. Cory Wilson, up for a lifetime seat on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, has denied that restrictive voting laws lead to voter suppression and called same-sex marriage “a pander to liberal interest groups.”
Interior Secretary David Bernhardt has indefinitely extended the terms of the acting directors of the Bureau of Land Management and the National Park Service, sidestepping the typical Senate confirmation process for those posts and violating the Federal Vacancies Reform Act,

Courts and DOJ

The Supreme Court declined on Monday to take a closer look at qualified immunity, the legal doctrine that shields law enforcement and government officials from lawsuits over their conduct. Developed in recent decades by the high court, the qualified immunity doctrine, as applied to police, initially asks two questions: Did police use excessive force, and if they did, should they have known that their conduct was illegal because it violated a "clearly established" prior court ruling that barred such conduct? In practice, however, lower courts have most often dismissed police misconduct lawsuits on grounds that there is no prior court decision with nearly identical facts.
The Supreme Court ruled that federal anti-discrimination laws protect gay and transgender employees. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch and Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joined the court’s liberals in the 6 to 3 ruling. They said Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination “because of sex,” includes LGBTQ employees.
  • Alito, writing more than 100 pages in dissent for himself and Thomas, accused the court's majority of writing legislation, not law. Kavanaugh wrote separately: "We are judges, not members of Congress...Under the Constitution and laws of the United States, this court is the wrong body to change American law in that way."
  • Just days before the SCOTUS opinion was released, the Trump administration finalized a rule that would remove nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people when it comes to health care and health insurance. The SCOTUS ruling may make it easier to challenge the changes made by Trump.
The Supreme Court also declined to take up California’s “sanctuary” law, denying the Trump administration’s appeal. This means that the lower court opinion upholding one of California's sanctuary laws is valid, limiting cooperation between law enforcement and federal immigration authorities. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, two of the Court's conservative members, supported taking up the case.
A federal appeals court appeared unlikely Friday to stop a judge from examining why the Justice Department sought to walk away from its prosecution of Michael Flynn. "I don't see why we don't observe regular order," said Judge Karen Henderson. "Why not hold this in abeyance and see what happens?" Judge Robert Wilkins told Flynn's lawyer that if Sullivan doesn't let the government drop the case, "then you can come back here on appeal."

How to find perfect casino for you?

An online casino is a place where gamblers of various skill levels can find games to play, whether for fun or for profit. So it is important to make sure that your chosen casino has been recommended by an experienced gaming expert and has been duly checked and approved by a third party agency. There are many different types of online casinos to choose from including classic games like poker, slots, blackjack, bingo and roulette etc. Most sites will offer a range of different games to suit your requirements.
An online casino is recommended and reviewed based on its fairness to players. The online casinos which have gained players' favour are the ones that offer a good variety of games and also have reasonable bonuses and perks for new players. The best casinos are those that have been recommended by experienced players and are part of reputable gaming associations. The online casinos which are reviewed by experts are those that provide genuine deals and great value for money to players.
The legal age of gambling is also an important factor in online casino recommendation and review. If the casino is based in the US, the age of legal consent for gambling is 18 years. For all other countries, the legal age for playing the game is generally younger. You should therefore choose an online casino recommended and reviewed by a gambling authority or other respectable body. Not only should the casino be licensed by the government but should be registered with the government as well.
A top casino in the online casino USA market is Pacific Poker because of its reliability, security, fairness and long-term benefits. Many online casinos offering slots are not highly recommended by players because they are known to eliminate player winnings in small amounts. If you are a serious player, then you should go for a casino that offers multiple payment options such as credit cards, PayPal accounts etc. You should ask your friends, family members and colleagues about the online casinos offering multiple payment options so that you can avoid losses in case you miss out on a single payment or if you lose the amount you have put up.
Another important factor that you should consider while looking for an online casino recommended by players is the kind of management and support provided to the players. When you are playing online casino gambling, you should not get attached to any particular website. Instead, you should select a website that provides the maximum number of payment options and gives you maximum freedom to withdraw your winnings. Casino gaming regulations and laws vary from state to state. Hence, it is better that you check with your state's Gaming Commission or Department of Revenue if the particular casino meets their requirements.
There are certain things that you can expect from a casino in terms of support and customer care. For example, you should find out whether the casino allows betting on more than one game at a time. You should also find out whether the casino offers any special deals and promotions like weekend promotions and loyalty incentives to its customers. If you have other questions related to online casino gambling, it would be advisable to discuss them with your friends and relatives who are regular gamblers. In fact, you might even hear about online casino recommended by players who have lost money in the past.

Evolution of Casino

Evolution of Casino
Casino games have evolved from time to time and faced many legal objections in various countries. The actual casino history began in Europe with the first legal gambling establishment opened in Venice in 1638. The first casino was named Il Ridotto. In the early period of casinos, only privileged people were allowed to enter the gambling establishment. Il Ridotto was profitable to the state because it paid high taxes on its activities. Simultaneously, the church developed a negative outlook towards this variety of entertainment and forced the state to make gambling illegal. Due to these laws and other related reasons, the first official casino in the world, Il Ridotto, was shut down.
In 1765, Casinos began to spread rapidly outside Italy and reached its neighbor France. The first casino establishment opened in this country was, of course, in its capital – Paris.
At the beginning of the 18th century, casinos were opened for the elite class in other European countries. The opportunity to earn suitable money attracted more players. This way, the fame of the casino expanded like wildfire.
At the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, Monaco became famous for casinos. However, after some time passed, gambling businesses tremendously shifted to the capital of gambling – Las Vegas in the USA. Eventually, these centralized establishments robbed most casinos enthusiastic by clearing their pockets.
Cybercrimes such as fraud, data thefts, hacking, and password leaks are continuously growing on current centralized platforms, thus leaving players in the depths of bankruptcy.
Casino games have evolved with advanced technology in the 21 century.
Decentralized applications/ dApps are emerging as the revolutionary technology that is changing how people interact and do business with each other. With the wide use of Smart Contracts, blockchain technology is touching almost every industry and

Winspark Casino Overview

‘Winning Happens Here’, happens to be the casino’s motto and if you are fan of instant-win lottery games, then WinSpark is sure to get your attention. In the online casino business, new does not always mean better, especially when it comes to new casino brands. Older casinos tend to have a reputation that is easy to track online. Besides, if they have survived for a long time, they must be doing some things right to attract players.
The same can be said about Winspark casino. Often, you only need one glance to identify a casino that is more than five years old - they often have sizeable gaps on both sides of the screen. Winspark is one such casino.
The background graphics on the welcome page is certainly something to look at - a small colorful planetoid floating in blue space, its surface dotted with landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, and the Coliseum. It grabs your attention, in a good way.
The casino claims to have been launched in 2018, but we suspect that to be only partially true. Online research indicates that the casino has been around since 2008. They probably revamped and relaunched the website in 2018, which is quite usual given the speed at which casino gaming technology is progressing these days.
The casino is among the smaller operations out there, owned by a Cypriot firm and operating out of Curacao with a gaming license from that Caribbean territory. In terms of the targeted audience, Winspark Casino invites players from across the globe. This is also validated by the number of international currencies accepted here - eight in total.
As for the software platform, the casino uses the lesser known Netoplay software, which is also from Cyprus. The games selection is quite limited, as they only stock games developed in house by the software provider. But since Netoplay casinos are few and far between, the gaming experience is bound to be a change from the usual set of games you see at many multi-vendor casinos out there. They also have a decent RTP of around 95%.
One gripe we have with the casino is regarding RNG testing - according to the casino website, the games' RNG testing is carried out in-house. They should seriously consider outsourcing it to credible third-party labs if they want players to trust them.
The casino offers both a welcome bonus as well as a no deposit bonus for new players. This is not something we see often these days and full marks to the Winspark casino team for giving new players these freebies. The promotions department is also surprisingly deep, filled with several contests, and other bonuses.
Winspark is a no download, instant play casino with full support for mobile devices and tablets. This puts them squarely among the new breed of online casinos which are using HTML5 technologies to provide a smooth casino experience, right out of ordinary web browsers.
Problem gambling is to casinos what alcoholism is to liquor brands. Casinos like Winspark are trying to make a difference here, offering exclusion measures and guidelines to help players avoid this fate. The casino has also partnered with organizations like GamCare to provide support to problem gamblers.
Some important facts about Winspark Casino:
  • As is usually the case with online casinos, Winspark only accepts players who are 18+ only.
  • Only players from countries where online gambling is legal can use the casino.
  • Residents of some countries that include, and is not limited to the USA, Israel, France, South Africa, the UK, are not permitted to register due to country restrictions.
  • Players are requested to complete KYC procedures and provide ID proof before receiving any winnings.

Software and Games at Winspark Casino

Winspark casino is quite an oddity in the world of online casinos when it comes to software and games. White label casinos are nothing new in this business. Major software companies package readymade casinos to operators who can then decorate these with unique themes and attract customers.
While Winspark is a white label casino, what makes it unique is the software provider - a Cypriot company called Netoplay. They are one of the smaller brands in this business. And as they were established in 2008, they also happen to be one of the youngest.
The main advantage of the Netoplay platform is its stability. As only a handful of casinos use this platform, it is also quite rare. Some players might like the change of pace they find here when compared to the multi-vendor casinos teeming with hundreds of the same games from the same software providers.
The platform is quite capable and can offer instant play online across multiple device types and operating systems. It is quite the modern online casino software that we have here. It is also backed by industry-standard protection software, including the latest SSL 128-bit encryptions for maximum security.
The casino does not have any download client, nor does it need one in this day and age. The instant play casino is plenty good for most client needs. They could develop Android and iPhone apps in the future though, to better attract mobile-only gamers.

Software Provider

Often, the casino software platform allows the operator to add games from other vendors to the casino. Sadly this is not the case at Winspark Casino. You only have the Netoplay bouquet of games to choose from.
Don't get us wrong - the games are quite decent. But they cannot be compared to big budget titles from the best companies like Netent and Microgaming. And there is only a handful of them, to begin with.

Games

Virtually the entire games collection can be seen right at the welcome page of the casino. Since there are only around forty games in total at this casino, you don't have to scroll down endlessly to check out each of them.
Contrary to some reviews online, Winspark casino does not cater to the needs of every type of casino player out there. They do try hard, with a not too shabby collection of different game genres, but there are many missing categories in this casino game library.
Card games, table games, and live dealer games are conspicuous by their absence. These games like blackjack and baccarat require advanced software and game studio capabilities, which are not available to a small firm like Netoplay.
The following four categories are available at Winspark, with these games:
  • Top-Rated - Here you will find all the games across genres that are played most often at the casino. Top titles include Club Rouge, Rich Man's World, Secrets of the Jungle, Lucky Cauldron, and Wild Leprechaun.
  • Slots - Besides more than half the games mentioned in Top Rated, this category also has titles like Candy Reels, Spinning Fruits, Wild Honey, and Full moon. Most of these look like 3-reels, but we could be mistaken. In total, the casino has just 12 slots games.
  • Scratch Cards - With interesting titles like Amazin Love, Lucky Cupid, Atlantis Riches of the Deep, and Pumpkins Mansion, this category offers something different to visitors at the casino.
  • Bingo & Instant Games - yet another unique section at Winspark, these are game genres that you don’t see that often at other online casinos. Even if you do, they only have 2-3 bingo games at best. Here there are 12 different games, all with interesting names like Octopops, Bingo Club, Safe Cracker, and Fortune Wheel.

Mobile Games at Winspark Casino

Modern instant play casinos like Winspark offer some unique features like identical experience across multiple devices and operating systems. This is a far cry from just a few years ago when you could only have the fullest online casino experience on PCs. Mobile and tablet gamers had to make do with many restrictions and a smaller games collection.
Fortunately, times have changed and mobile players find themselves on an even footing with PC and Mac users. The two main types of mobile operating systems in the world - iOS and Android - are both supported by instant play casinos.
It doesn't matter if you have an iPhone 8S, or a Galaxy S10, or any other Android device - they will all run the casino full well as long as you have a reliable internet connection with decent download speeds.

Banking at Winspark Casino

Banking is one department where the casino truly outshines the competition. The list is pretty long, with over 20 different payment options available to players at Winspark Casino. And on top of that, the casino also supports currencies like EUR, GBP, USD, SEK, CHF, NOK, AUD, CAD, FI.
Transactions at the casino are subject to the following main rules:
  • All deposits are credited instantly at Winspark casino.
  • Certain methods are only compatible with some currencies.
  • Though 20+ deposit options are available, withdrawal is only through 3 channels - VISA Credit Card, Skrill, and Bank Transfer.
  • VISA payments are only available to the max amount deposited by the player using that card.
  • Skrill and Wire Transfer can be used without this limit.
  • Bank transfer comes with a minimum withdrawal limit of $50 or €50.
  • Players have to send copies of their ID to the casino for verification before withdrawals can be processed.
At Winspark Casino you can use the following instant payment options for deposits:
  • Mastercard
  • VISA
  • Paysafecard
  • Cashlib
  • EPS
  • Trustpay
  • Skrill
  • Zimpler
  • Neteller
  • VISA Electron
  • VISA Debit
  • Mastercard Debit
  • Diners Club
  • Carte Bleu
  • Carta Si
  • Entropay
  • Direct eDebit/Sofort
  • Giropay
  • Mister Cash
  • Interac e-Transfer
  • Interac Online
The casino has made deposits exceedingly easy. Each deposit option has a dedicated guide link next to it, making the process as painless as possible for players.

Customer Support

The casino also scores heavily in the customer support department, offering an unprecedented four different methods for players to connect with the casino team. At most other casinos, players would be lucky to have two options. These are the contact methods available at Winspark Casino:
  • Live Chat - available at the casino website 24x7. There are two links - a link at the top of the page, and one at the bottom of every game you play at the casino.
  • Call back - if you have given accurate contact number details in your account, you can click on the "Phone" option available in your account menu. The casino team will call you immediately on your number.
  • Email - If you have any issues or queries, you can also shoot an email at this address - [email protected]
  • Telephone - The casino contact number is +35722007385

London & COVID-19: stay alert, control the virus, save lives. SOCIAL DISTANCING REMAINS IN EFFECT

Stay alert, control the virus, save lives

You can now go out and your household can now meet people from another household in any setting (indoor, outdoor, private or public) as much as you want. You can also meet up to six people outdoors from any number of households. Gatherings of more than 30 people are strictly illegal.
Stay 2m (6ft) away from people that you don't live with where practical, and at least 1m (3ft) away at all times. Do your very best to maintain hygiene, washing your hands and shared surfaces at every opportunity. There are tighter rules for vulnerable people who are shielding. And of course, you should only do what you're comfortable with.
If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, even mild, stay home for at least 10 days until you no-longer have a temperature. Get a test through the gov.uk testing website or calling 119. Others in your household must stay home for 14 days.
Treatment for mild COVID-19 symptoms is paracetamol and cough syrup. If you're very ill, call 111, or in an emergency, call 999 - DO NOT go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital with COVID-19.

What's open now

Obviously there are exceptions to the general guidelines and some places have not reopened even if they theoretically can. It's a good idea to check before going somewhere.

What's still closed

Nightclubs, theatres, casinos, ice rinks and bowling alleys remain closed for now. Professional sports are still happening behind closed doors, with no spectators.
The big three Exhibition Road museums are reopening in August:

What about work?

You should now be working unless your work is still closed and you are furloughed. However, avoid public transport if you can, travelling by car, foot or bike. Bus, train and tube capacity is limited due to the need for social distancing and you must wear a mask.

Can I visit London now?

Yes, although some tourist attractions are still closed or operating in a very limited way. Hotels and AirBnBs have now resumed operating again (with some restrictions). Incoming international travellers from high risk countries including the USA face a two week mandatory quarantine.
There's a list of countries here.

Face masks

Face coverings are compulsory on all forms of public transport and in all shops, takeaways, hospitals and care homes. They will be compulsory in more spaces such as cinemas and museums from August 8th. This is a law and you can be fined if you do not comply.
You don't need to buy a fancy respirator, instead think about buying or making your own from fabric, or use a scarf or bandana. As long as you wash them at a decent heat between uses this is much more environmentally friendly than disposable surgical masks.

People often overlook the chosen software because it really isn’t something the average player should be concerned about. All players want to know is that their gameplay experience is smooth. What people fail to realize is that the smoothness of gameplay at a real money casino is wholly dependent on the software being used.
At Grande Vegas anyone with even a little bit of casino experience will find that the games are quite familiar. This is so because Grande Vegas utilizes Real Time Gaming software for all of its games. Having been dealing casino games for years now, RTG knows its way around the industry and has seen it all before.

Grande Vegas Casino Banking Options

As far as this site’s banking options are concerned, there is a healthy selection of methods by which you can both fund an account and cash out winnings. Before going any further, it is worth mentioning that you are not always going to be able to cash out via the same method you deposited. There are certain banking options that facilitate both, but some will only allow you to deposit or only allow you to cash out.
As far as deposit options, the following are available to you at Grande Casino: wire transfer, Bitcoin, debit/credit cards, ECOcard, NETeller, and Skrill.
As for cashing out, the following withdrawal options exist at Grande Vegas: wire transfer, Bitcoin, debit/credit cards, ECOcard, NETeller, Skrill, and check.

Customer Service and Reputation

Grande Vegas continues to draw in positive attention for itself through its competent offering of customer service contact options.

Grand Vegas Casino Sign-Up Bonus

The sign-up bonus offered to new Grande Vegas players is more or less standard and does not overly impress, but definitely doesn’t disappoint. New players who have just made their first deposit will see 100% of their deposit matched as a bonus. This means that if you initially deposit $100, your player account will have $200 with which you can begin playing.
Prior to these bonus monies being eligible for withdrawal, however, you will need to fulfill wagering requirements. The exact requirements are listed plainly in the bonus’ terms and conditions.

About Slotastic Casino [Review]

Slotastic is an established online casino operator which stays true to its name and offers a nice range of world-class slots courtesy of respected software developer RealTime Gaming.
The focus here is indeed on slots, with players being able to choose from hundreds of bespoke titles, which boast different themes and features. There are options to suit all preferences, styles of play, and bankroll sizes as the casino offers both classic one-arm bandits and more advanced video slots as well as games with progressive jackpots that can change players’ lives overnight.
It may have borrowed its name from everyone’s favorite one-arm bandits but this by no means should cause players to jump to the conclusion the casino has nothing else to offer. Quite the contrary, the library features a number of other premium options, including iconic table games like roulette, poker, craps and blackjack, as well as various arcade games like Keno and many video poker variants.
The casino attracts players from a great number of countries with its easy-to-navigate, well-organized, and vividly colored website. Yet, great visual appearance and hassle-free navigation are hardly the only positives of joining the vast community here. The casino has a number of other perks to offer to enthusiastic players, including very time-efficient and friendly customer support, the option to play on the go on widespread smartphones and tablets, fair payouts, and numerous promotional incentives to keep both new and existing customers happy.

Software by Real Time Gaming

This casino operator went online back in 2009, after partnering with world-renowned casino software provider RealTime Gaming, also vastly known as RTG. Their partnership has proved to be long and extremely productive, not to mention it has attracted the interest of hundreds of thousands of players who have come to associate RTG with seamless gameplay and user-friendly interface.
This is anything but surprising considering Real Time Gaming is one of the oldest and best known developers of premium casino software on the online gambling scene. The company was founded almost twenty years ago, in 1998, and quickly built an enviable reputation among players and casino industry insiders alike, a reputation it successfully maintains to this very day.
At RTG, they claim to “Take gaming seriously” and it truly shows in the quality of their products. Each game that bears the brand name of “RealTime Gaming” is instantly recognizable with its flashy colors, life-like audio effects, and sleek animations.

Play Slotastic Casino Games

As was previously mentioned, the operator focuses primarily on slots and has plenty to offer in that particular department. In fact, there are so many titles in the casino’s slot collection that even the most avid reel fans can remain on the edge of their seats for hours on end.
More importantly, new titles are added regularly, so the casino’s content library is constantly growing. Players are presented with two different options as the casino offers free downloadable software but also supports Instant Play.

Video Slots

The online casino's gaming collection comprises over 300 games and the majority of these are indeed slots. Players get to make a pick from an impressive arsenal of classic and five-reel titles but it is the selection of Real Series slots that attracts hordes of reel enthusiasts to the website.
Naturally, these games are unique only to casinos running on RTG’s software but what is more important, players get the chance to collect random jackpots. This may not sound like anything new to those unfamiliar with RTG’s Real Series slots but the games are unique in that one is not required to line up a particular combination of symbols across the reels in order to collect the jackpot. Winning the jackpot is possible at any stake as players are not expected to bet the maximum in order to qualify.
That being said, the games in the operator's slot portfolio certainly do not lack in terms of features.
Players will also benefit from multiple paylines, special symbols like wilds and scatters, various bonus games, multipliers, and free spins. Some of the most noteworthy titles in the gaming collection include Aladdin’s Wishes, Mermaid Queen, The Three Stooges, Goblin’s Treasure, and T-Rex.
Slot fans looking to bag a massive prize should head to the casino’s jackpot section where they will be able to try their luck on several progressive titles, including Shopping Spree II, Aztec’s Millions, Jackpot Piñatas, Cleopatra’s Gold, and the newer addition to RTG’s library, Spirit of the Inca.

Video Poker

Many players prefer video poker over slots since it is among the few casino games which can actually offer positive expectation if a good playing strategy is at hand. Unlike slots, this type of game is not based solely on chance as players can influence the outcome with their decisions. As video poker is a simplified version of five-card draw, it is suitable for players at different skill and experience levels.
The online casino strives to meet the needs of video poker fans by offering them a nice selection of bespoke variations, including all-time favorites like Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker, All American Poker, and Joker Poker.
Those who are interested in playing something less standard can opt for the Loose Deuces variation where the lowest paying hand is a Three of a Kind. Another interesting option is Sevens Wild where sevens can substitute all other cards, regardless of their suit or value.

Table Games

The online casino operator targets predominantly slot fans, its selection of table games is not extensive. This is not to say, players are left without options but the operator also demonstrates quality is far more important than quantity since all card and table games on offer impress with authenticity, superior graphics, intuitive interface, and immersive sounds, which are normally part of the unique ambiance of landbased casino floors.
Blackjack fans can attack the virtual tables of Suit’em Up Blackjack, Match 21, Perfect Pairs, European Blackjack, Super 21, and Face Up 21. One variation of Pontoon is also available. Roulette fans are granted the option to test their luck in the European, American or French variations of the game or opt in for Multiplayer Roulette.
It also offers several quality variations of the game of poker, namely Vegas Three Card Rummy, Texas Hold’em Bonus, Caribbean Stud, and Tri Card Poker. It is also possible to shoot the dice in a game of Craps or Sic Bo, but these can be found in the Specialty Games section.

Arcade Games

Betting enthusiasts who lack the necessary knowledge and experience to play card games but are not interested in slots, either, are not left without options. The casino offers a separate category of Specialty Games, where players can make a pick from various scratchcards and bingo games.
One of the most interesting options is the game Treasure Tree, where players need to choose money bags hanging from the branches of a magical tree to earn monetary prizes or more free games. Those who succeed in revealing three bags of the same color can collect either 500x their initial bet or 25 free games where the payouts are actually tripled.
Fans of number games will not be disappointed either as they are presented with several enticing options.
Roaring Twenties Bingo is a dynamic bingo variation where it is possible to play up to a hundred cards simultaneously. Interestingly enough, the game is played with 91 balls, one of which is a wild. Playing Bonus Bingo is also a great option for fans of this particular type of game. One variant of the lottery-style game Keno is also available in the Specialty Games section.

Some players have noticed the graphics and sound effects of the Instant Play version of the casino are not as crisp as those in the downloadable software, but this can be explained by the fact the games are loaded directly in the browser.

Do You Have to Pay Taxes on Slot Machine Winnings?

We all love to read stories about big wins and imagine ourselves in the shoes of those winners. But, have you ever thought about what happens at that very moment after successfully beating the slot machine? Usually, the slot machine locks up and, in most cases, you hear the music and see the flashing lights on top of the machine. But one of the first questions every player asks is whether they have to pay taxes on casino winnings? Well, you’re about to find out!

Taxes on Slot Machine Winnings in USA

In the USA, when a lucky player hits a jackpot, there’s the option of receiving the winnings in cash or check. In case it’s a large sum, it’s usually paid by check. However, the IRS only obliges the casinos to report winnings that are larger than $1,200.
Of course, all winners are obliged to show a proper identification— a valid ID or passport. When the casino checks for your identification they also look at your age to make sure you are officially and legally old enough to play. As the minimum legal age for gambling varies from state to state, be sure to check it out before you decide to play.

Do I Have to Report All Winnings?

All gambling winnings received from slot machines are subject to federal taxes, and both cash and non-cash winnings (like a car or a vacation) are fully taxable. Apart from slot machines, the same applies to winnings from lottery, bingo, keno, poker or other games of chance. So, if the amount won on a slot machine is higher than $1200, the casino is required to report it. In other words, all your gambling winnings have to be reported on your tax return as "other income" on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8.

Slot Machine Winnings in W-2G Form

In case it happens to you and you snag that big win (which we hope one day you will), it’s useful to know that casino or other payer must give you a W-2G Form, listing your name, address and Social Security number. So, if the winnings are reported through a W-2G Form, federal taxes will be withheld at a rate of 25%.
If, however, you didn’t provide your Social Security number (or your Tax Identification Number), in that case the withholding will be 28%. Either way, a copy of your Form W-2G should be issued, showing the amount you won alongside the amount of tax withheld. One copy needs to go to the IRS, as well.
Aside from slot winnings, Form W-2G is issued to winners of the following types of gambling activities like:
However, not all gambling winnings are subject to IRS Form W2-G. For instance, W2-G forms are not required for winnings from table games like blackjack, baccarat, and roulette, whatever the amount. You’d still have to report your winnings to the IRS, it’s just you won’t need to do it through W-2G Form.

Are My Slot Losses Deductible?

The good news is that you can deduct your slot losses (line 28 of Schedule A, Form 1040), while the bad news is gambling losses are deductible only up to the amount of your wins. In other words, you can use your losses to compensate for your winnings. So, let’s say you won $200 on one bet, but you lost $400 on one or a few others, you can only deduct the first $200 of losses. Meaning if you didn’t win anything for a year, you won’t be able to deduct any of your gambling losses.
In order to prove your losses, you need to keep good records and have suitable documents. So, whenever you lose, keep those losing tickets, cancelled checks and credit slips. Your documentation must include the amount you won or lost, a date and time, type of wager, type of your gambling activity, name of each casino/address of each casino you visited and the location of their gambling business. You may as well list the people who were with you.

Do State and Local Taxes Apply Separately?

Yes, you are required to pay your state or local taxes on your gambling winnings. In case you travel to another state, and snag some huge winning combo there, that other state would want to tax your winnings too. But don’t worry, you won't be taxed twice, as the state where you reside needs to give you a tax credit for the taxes you pay to that other state.
Keep in mind though that some states like Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Ohio don't allow gambling losses.

Online Slot Taxes

Whether you usually spin the reels of your favourite casino games in land-based casinos in the US, overseas casinos, or online casinos, all income for the citizens of the US is taxable. As a US citizen, you are required to send Form W2G for all winnings from a slot machine (not reduced by the wager) that equals to or is more than $1,200.

Taxes on Slot Machine Winnings in UK

As a resident of the United Kingdom, your gambling winnings won’t be taxed. Unlike the USA mentioned above, you’ll be allowed to keep whatever it is that you have won and earned in Britain, even in case you are a poker pro. Then again, you won’t be able to deduct any losses you might collect.
It doesn’t really matter if you win £5 or £5 million playing online slots, your winnings will be tax-free as long as you reside anywhere in the UK, be that in England, Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland.

Taxes on Slot Machine Winnings in Canada

If you are a recreational player who lives in Canada, we have good news for you. When it comes to gambling, you don't have to pay taxes as your winnings are totally tax free. According to laws in Canada, gambling activities don’t fall under the category of constant source of income, therefore your winnings will not be taxed.
Canadians don't even pay taxes on their lottery winnings. The only exception here are professional gamblers who make a living from betting and are, therefore, obliged to pay taxes. Keep in mind though, this is the current situation - laws in Canada change frequently, which may also include tax laws.

Taxes on Slot Machine Winnings in Australia

In case you reside in Australia and like to visit casinos from time to time, you’ll be happy to find out that your winnings in Australia will not taxed and here are 3 core reasons for that:
Of course, taxation varies from state to state.

Taxes on Slot Machine Winnings in New Zealand

Unlike in Australia, where even professional players can claim they are recreational, in New Zealand slot machine winnings (and any other winnings from casino games) are considered taxable income, in case the player has little income from other resources.
But, apart from professional gambling, it is very unusual for winnings to be taxed in New Zealand. Most often, gambling is considered recreational and not income, so players can enjoy their gameplay as they do not have to pay taxes on their winnings.
