  Yes, you are required to report any winnings from gambling, including cryptocurrency, to the IRS. The IRS treats cryptocurrency as property, so the same rules that apply to other forms of property also apply to cryptocurrency winnings. This means that if you sell or exchange the cryptocurrency you won, you may be subject to capital gains tax. It's important to keep accurate records of your winnings and losses to ensure you report them correctly on your tax return.

  Oh boy, winning cryptocurrency at a casino can be a real rollercoaster ride! But don't forget about the taxman. Just like with any other gambling winnings, you're supposed to report your cryptocurrency winnings to the IRS. They consider it as property, so you might have to pay capital gains tax if you sell or exchange it. Make sure to keep track of your wins and losses, and consult a tax professional if you're not sure how to handle it.
