Having come into the game recently (and havin a lot of fun and food!!) I felt I had to get my view across about a subject that seems to be in most conversations................."when are the sponsors gonna stick some prize money into the event!!!???"

My own view is:
If you are receiving winnings tax free then your own money should go into the event.
If a sponsor puts money in then that amount shoud be taxable. I dont know of any other sporting event in the world where the prize money is subject to tax.
Cake and eat it?? Ahhhh back to my favourite subject FFFOOOOODDDD!!!!!

What are you talking about?
I report all my net winnings and pay tax on them. Doesn't everyone?

I am not sure about prize money put up for a competition but I do know that casinos in this country do pay gaming taxes on the house winnings.  So in theory any extra prize money put into a comp has already been taxed.

The revenue generated from card rooms comes from registration fees and the extra prize money usualy far out weighs the amount taken.  Legaly only 10% of the stake.

So I am I right in thinking you never play games either on the net or in the card rooms which have been subsadised by the sponser?
