Taxes kill poker rooms, casinos, bookmakers, etc .. but also customers. This ugly thing is not normal, because many business must be calculated in such a way as to be good for all 3 parties. Pokerstars will lose anyway. He proceeded wrong.

dulevu they kill gambling with the tax they impose , even to low gamblers like me . i had a very small win , 330$ IN CASINO , they took more than 30$ , this is unfair to me , because on the long run it's casino , If they took it on a monthly basis I wouldn't mind so much , but they take it on a DAILY basis , from DUSK to DAWN , you see ?? Also the protection is only until 100$ or 150$ , after it's anothr level until I think 300$ or 500$ I am not sure , and then they f** your a*** . So even if I win the SM the sTate will take more than 20% , if i am not mistaken .
Without saying too much , they will f*** me and instead of paying me , I WILL PAY THEM !!!!!

in my country they take tax on every gamble,except on casino games,so we are still lucky that they dont do this!when you make bet on some football game,you already have on ticket what tax they will take from you,but when you play casino games on same site,you can play normal and take whatever you win!

Pokerstars can afford to pay taxes, but now it depends on whether this is good for them in this country called Serbia. The number of players there can be unacceptable for this poker room because there is no profit... and that means everything falls.

That's good dule-vu , not to pay taxes for casino , or to pay them anually when you state in the tax document to the tax office how much you won all the year , or the casino to inform the state automatically via their system online , I mean online everything can be done in mili seconds nowadays , they cannot fool us , they just want to make us , our live much worse
JokerStars in my country pays taxes every day to state , so even if their casino was not a joke (which is a joke unfortunatelly and noone should play on it) , they pay taxes every day and this kills casino action , you can imagine what this means on the long run . I would have o play more to win more because of this bleeding of 10% or 15% or 20% for biiger bets and winnings !! per day , that's why it sucks more , not annually !!
Let's say sb wins the SM , ok congratulations , 130K$ let's , but if he plays High stakes , if he has a downswing all the other months until the end of the year losing let's say 100k$ , if the previous months he also lost 40k$ , so in the end he had lost 10k$ this whole year , but the fucking state stole from him a 20% taxes from the win of 130k$ from the SM win !!! Isn't this a thfet or what ???

no,then dont inform anybody and we dont have to pay tax on anything!thats how it go in my country!we have domestic betting shops,where every of them have online site and local shops where you can pick up money,so you dont have to send your winnings to bank account!its your choice how you will take your money from them! on betting tickets they took money right away,from that winning,but on casino its different story!
