I was wondering what these poker players do about their large winning and paying taxes?
I know most of them have a lockbox inside the casinos that they play at. I have heard of people cashing their huge winnings in chips and just keeping the chips in their casino lockbox. Would they have to pay taxes on chips still in the casino?
My buddy is friends with Joe Bartholdi Jr who won the WPT season 4 championship for like 3.5 million. He told me Bartholdi has all his winnings in the Bellagio safe in chips. If he slowly pulls out 2-3k a week, will he have to report that?
