Do you have to pay taxes on offshore gambling winnings?
U.S. citizens owe federal income tax on gambling winnings no matter where the gambling takes place, whether it's an online poker site hosted overseas, a foreign casino, or a sports betting platform in another country. If those winnings end up in a foreign bank account, additional reporting obligations like FBAR and FATCA may also apply, and the penalties for non-compliance are significant.
