How do payouts for online poker work?

Question by John: How do payouts for online poker work?
I’m under 21, but over 18 and I’m looking to join an online poker site. If I deposit money into an account through my debit card, how would I withdraw money? Would this be electronically or through something like a check? And can I do this if I’m under 21?

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Most sites are 18+. It’s 21+ here in the States at real money casinos because of alcohol. If you are able to use your debit card in the first place, you can take a payout by check. The checks come from their third party payment processors. I have a list of methods that I’ve personally used at http://dagus-statistics.com/funding and http://poker-lobby.com if you need an alternative. Good luck.

Question by beatzscientifik: How do taxes work for winnings from online poker/gambling sites based outside the US?
If you win ,000+ from an online poker/gambling site based outside the US, is there any way to cash out the money without having to pay taxes? If not, can someone explain how taxes would work?

You may want to contact a tax specialist or CPA, but my understanding is that since online gambling is illegal your only option for taxes is to report it under “other income earned” on a tax form. It’s like a catch 22 since it’s illegal earnings, but yet the government also wants to tax those illegal earnings. I’ve heard advice of getting an account with an offshore bank and taking out cash from an ATM so that it’s not as tracable if you were audited. You might lose a % with fees and such, but your best bet may be to keep it in cash so there aren’t as many paper trails to follow. If you do end up paying taxes on it you would pay in the high bracket like a lottery winner, upwards of 35% I believe.

My advice, if you’re really making that kind of money you’re either good or lucky. In either case look into a trip to Vegas and keep everything legal so you can enjoy your winnings to the fullest without worrying about the FBI knocking down your door.
