Question by Hugh: Which online poker gives the most money away for free tournaments?
I want to play online poker for free with cash prizes or qualification for cash tournaments. I know most of them do this, but what is the best one to do it with?

Answer by ZCT
It’s all a crapshoot. If you are not willing to put up your own money, the tournaments that offer big prizes are going to have thousands of entries.

One of the ones they advertise right now is playing poker at Atlantis with Daniel Negreanu. That prize package is worth well over ,000, with the potential to win a million. But you’d need to win three or four tournaments in a row to get this prize.

Then there are sites like NLOP.com which offer free tournaments with tiny cash prizes. These are easier to win.

So if you will not actually put up real money (which is a pretty silly way to try and play poker, which is a gambling game), then you can play for a reasonable chance to win a tiny amount of money. Or you can play for an incredibly unlikely shot at winning a large amount of money.

You should read the article by Jesus Ferguson about going from to ,000 on Full Tilt Poker.

Question by DBADiver: What are the tax implications of winning online poker?
If I were to win say, 0,000 playing online poker, I know the government wants to tax me on that. What happens if I don’t withdraw the money from my account? Do I pay taxes on it? What if I withraw just a little bit at a time over several years, do I have to report it?
I am in the U.S (Virginia), by the way.

Best answer:

Answer by ami
This is income from gambling. You must report it and you will be taxed accordingly. It doesn’t matter how you withdraw it. You will receive a W2-G which will how your winnings and that must be put on your Form 1040. If you had any LOSSES, you can deduct that, but only up to the amount of your winnings. So if you lost 00 you can deduct 00. But if you lost 5,000 you can only deduct 0,000.
