Of course it is.
Quote: DRichOf course it is.
Not according to IRS rules.
But those rules don't mention JACKPOTS.
They simply say rebates are not taxable. And Freeplay is considered a rebate if it's based on past performance.
Now it probably would be challenged and would need to go to tax court.
You might win in court but most likely any aspect of the law found to be malleable will be used to make you lose.
You better have a good tax attorney.

Money won off of a rebate isn't a rebate. It is taxable.

As I read your responses, one seems to contradict the other.

Exactly, gambling winnings are taxable.
