Did You Win Big?
The IRS Already Knows.
Casinos report your winnings directly to the IRS. If you're not tracking your W-2G forms, withholding, and losses — you could owe far more than you expect come tax time.
When Does a Casino Issue a W-2G?
These are the IRS thresholds that trigger mandatory W-2G reporting. But remember — even below these amounts, your winnings are still taxable.
Slots & Bingo
$1,200+
Keno
$1,500+
Poker Tournaments
$5,000+
Sports Betting
300x wager
Lottery
$600+
Horse Racing
300x wager
Important: The IRS requires 24% federal withholding on winnings above these thresholds. If the casino didn't withhold — or if you won below the threshold — you may still owe taxes and could face underpayment penalties.
