    I dont know the deal about Us player but for internationals players at any casino within the us depending on the amount of money won the casino is entitled to take 30 percent right away because of taxes purposes. I heard for next year is gonna be 40 percent not sure about this but still is too much. I just wanted to know about ur opinion on this and also for u guys( US players) hows the deal with taxes. I mean if not an US citizen why do i have taxes. theres gonna the day where no international players will play in the US. Do u guys think this is negative EV, whats ur take on this??? shoul i ever consider keep playing in the US etc....I dont really think its fair...is there any way to collect that with the IRS??

    I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if I travel to any other country and win $1mil I am subject to their tax code. Consider it temporary employment and pay your taxes cuz thats how the IRS looks at it.
