Specifically, do you think the laws would become more liberal or less liberal and why?
I asked this question in another category to see if the responses would be very different. Thanks All.

Reno gambling?

January 10th, 2009
rabeatz asked:


I’m 18 and I’m going on a trip to Reno in May. What are the gambling laws in Reno like? And how strongly are they enforced? If I wanted to use a slot machine or something would that be ok? I work at a restaurant and many customers think i’m 20-21.
By large amount - that means a jackpot? or $100? or what?

looking for information on the tax laws of gambling winnings when in a tax bracket of 140000.00 or more?

January 4th, 2009
Glenda P asked:


should have been more specific
is it true there is a cap of 74000 on your losses even though u have a win/loss
form stating your losses far exceed your wins
the 140000.00 is annual income
given the recent inf i received from the irs
my win to loss has a cap because of this annual income i realize the loss has nothing to do with basic deductions however apparently the win/loss rule is not being applied not only that this recent inf from the irs is for the yr 05 w/penalties and interests applied all win/loss inf was given in 05 w/all proper tax forms so why now

Kenny asked:


In other words, say an internet forum owner who lives in Chesapeake, VA decides to take advertising money, from online gambling sites deemed illegal by the US Justice Dept.

Wouldn’t his profiting from those illegal gambling sites be breaking some federal laws?

It is illegal now for an offshore gambling site to do business with US residents. So, wouldn’t it also be illegal for a US resident to be profiting from the promotion of those illegal sites, to US citizens who post on his forum?
