“Policymakers Brace as Gambling Loss Deduction Cap Hits U.S. Gamblers”
On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed new tax legislation that will take effect January 1, 2026, capping gambling loss deductions at 90% of winnings—down from 100%. High-volume bettors and professional gamblers warn this change could create hefty “phantom income,” forcing players to report taxable income even on net loss years. A bipartisan coalition led by Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Rep. Dina Titus has proposed the FAIR BET Act to restore the full deduction, but so far Senate Republicans are shelving repeal efforts. The Joint Committee on Taxation estimates the change will bring in $1.1B over 10 years.Kiplinger
