As far as I know (if everything is legal: D), then if you transfer some kind of physical prize to a financial one, you have to pay a tax, usually on paper they somehow solve the tax problem if, for example, you win a car, however so not in all countries.

UK wise, the prizes (cash or physical) or exempt from tax (think the US is different). But you need to watch if you then start to sell items on Ebay etc as it could be construed as taxable income (possibly capital gains tax implications as well), but generally you're fine.

Yeah I think it is a very fine line actually! It's great our winnings are exempt from tax but indeed if the item was even to go Facebook it could be classed as income which is ridiculous, but there we are. Can't moan I suppose. Not that I would ever be lucky enough to win a prize worth selling anyway ?

I remember I once won some gadget on Videoslots but took 200 euro or equivalent in Cash instead.

Did not want to wait for the item to Arrive and 200 euro for my gambling budget means alot more.

As always I ended up losing the funds.

Here in South Africa - Winnings on Gambling at local online casinos/poker sites does not get taxed. Not sure about international, but then again all my winnings go to BTC anyways/
