Crypto gambling: access is not proof of legality

Check the law where you are

An offshore website accepting a wallet does not establish that gambling is lawful in your state or that it offers consumer protection. This page does not recommend casinos or determine the legality of a particular service.

Keep wagering and crypto records separately

A crypto-denominated wager or payout can involve both wagering income records and digital-asset movements. Keep USD values, dates, wins, losses and the acquisition history of assets used. Do not assume the platform’s net balance is your tax figure.

The 2026 loss rule changed

IRS Publication 505 for 2026 says the gambling-loss deduction on Schedule A is limited to the lesser of 90% of gambling losses or gambling winnings. Professional gambling and itemization need separate review. This is a tax rule, not permission to gamble.

• Preserve a dated wagering log and receipts.
• Separate winnings from losses.
• Check the rule for the tax year.
• Use a qualified adviser for the combined wagering and crypto treatment.
