Moreover, you have to prove the identification information of your age and passport. So, in the US you have to pay tax up to 25% depending on the certain game. However, in Canada or New Zealand, there are taxes free. In fact, New Zealander have to pay income tax, but it’s very unusual for winnings to be taxed.
