Every time I email them a question they just give the run around.
Here is a question I sent them about taxes on sweepstakes:
In your TOC it says that every hand in a ring game is its own sweepstakes.
I know that if anyone wins $600 or more in sweepstakes prizes that they owe tax at the federal level (USA).
So, doesn't that mean that even losers will owe a ton of taxes?
Right? because every hand is a sweepstakes and even losers win hands.
Can you please explain this and also this information should me made crystal clear on your website.
I may have to cash out and move somewhere else because of this.
Thank you
