Default filed as a pro last year- do i have to this year?

Last year I filed as a pro gambler. I set out this year intending to do the same thing but as we all know neteller went to [censored] in january thanks to our wonderful governtment. SO basically since then I made 1 trip to ac 1 to vegas and played probably less than 100 hours online since January due to 3 reasons:
1)Live poker bores me to tears
2)Online games are a lot worse than they were, i was never that good to begin with and its a pain to get money online
3)I won an asston of money in a tournament early in the year, reducing my motivation even further

I had no other income this year (other than interest) and one of the requirements from the irs is actively engaging gambling to be conisered a pro.


Am I supposed to file as a pro or recreationally?
