UK Tax on Poker Winnings
Good news for UK poker players: gambling winnings are not subject to income tax in the United Kingdom. This applies to all forms of gambling, including online poker. However, professional poker players should consult a tax advisor as rules may differ for those who play poker as their primary source of income.
