From the 2026 tax year only 90% of gambling losses are deductible. The first returns under the rule are filed from January, and the records that count are the ones kept now. Tell them, send them to the free calculator, and earn 40% of what each person you send pays in their first 12 months.
40% of what each person who signs up through your link pays in their first 12 months, net of refunds. Players and tax firms both count.
We record commission every month and pay it once a balance is owed, by the method we agree with you. Tell us your preference (PayPal, Venmo, check or ACH) and we'll confirm what we can do.

Jack, King of the Casinos, takes the stand: he won a million, he lost a million, so they're even. His own CPA, Penny, has the 2026 rule, and the ruling is short. Jack and Penny were first introduced as Larry and Diane, the names you may still see or hear in this film. (24 seconds)
The High Roller: A Natural History. A wildlife crew observes him in his habitat. He keeps no records. The crew's rule is never to intervene. His CPA does not work for the crew. Jack and Penny were first introduced as Larry and Diane, the names you may still see or hear in this film. (25 seconds)
Las Vegas, 2:07 a.m. One W-2G left unmatched against the client's IRS transcript, and it gets called like the final seconds of a title game. Then Penny explains what the same night means in tax year 2026. Jack and Penny were first introduced as Larry and Diane, the names you may still see or hear in this film. (30 seconds)
Episode 1 of the weekly recap. Jack names the week: Vegas Matt at $500 a spin and $14,000 on the Don't, Mr. Hand Pay in Arizona, Slot Queen at craps, Stacey's red-screen run, Cowboy Slots, Low Budget High Limit, Gamble Smart, Unabated, PokerNews and Circles Off. Penny lands the tax line each moment carries, the two of them trade the board of wins and losses, and she leaves Jack three habits that keep more of a win. Then a preview of next Friday. Jack and Penny were first introduced as Larry and Diane, the names you may still see or hear in this film. (134 seconds)
Jack asks where his FanDuel win/loss statement is; Penny names it, the Player Activity Statement, and gives the route: Your Play, Activity Statement, set January 1 to December 31, Download Statement. It is not a tax form, and FanDuel does not send it to the IRS; the W-2G and 1099 PDFs are separate, in the Tax Center. Then the free session tracker every account gets. (41 seconds)
Jack asks where his Caesars Rewards win/loss statement is. Penny's route: sign in at caesars.com, choose Win/Loss Statement, accept the terms and click Generate, with pop-ups allowed. The statement covers play on the Caesars Rewards card, so card in every visit. Then the free session tracker every account gets. (32 seconds)
Jack asks which 1099 a prediction market sends. Penny: for event contract gains, none, and they are still taxable. The narrator lists the forms Kalshi does send: 1099-MISC for rewards, 1099-INT for interest, 1099-B or 1099-DA for some crypto. Keep the PnL statement; the IRS has not said how event contracts are taxed. Then the free session tracker every account gets. (41 seconds)
