Default Re: countries that DON\'T tax online winnings or max 25 percent

UK is tax free on gambling

UK used to be 9% gambling tax for things like horses etc. you either paid the 9 % extra when you make a bet (10 pound bet on a horse would be 10.90) and then get any winnings tax free, or pay the 9% on your winnings (10 at 9 to 1 would only return 91 pounds). A bit of pointless trivia there....

Not sure what tax used to be on poker etc. but it has been abolished anyway.
