Tax and accounting rules depend on where you live.
This is not tax advice.
But it is worth keeping proper records from day one.
Speak to a qualified tax professional in your region if you are unsure. Rules can vary by country, state, province and personal situation.
What to track
- Deposits into sportsbooks and exchanges.
- Withdrawals back to your bank.
- Settled profit and loss.
- Open bets.
- Bonus credits and free bets.
- Dates and transaction references.
Why records matter
Even if you are not sure how something is treated for tax, good records make life much easier.
Bad records mean guesswork.
Guesswork is not where you want to be if an accountant asks for details.
