In a plot poker pros didn't see coming, Trump's 2025 'big beautiful bill' sneakily slaps gamblers with a tax where winners report every cent but can only deduct 90% of lossesâmeaning a $1M loser still pays tax on $100K phantom income. YouTube, playing dealer, nuked Brad Owen's channel for vague 'policy violations' before folding under pressure, joining other casualties like Ryan Depaulo and Daniel Negreanu, who claim the platform has a 'clear objective to destroy poker content.' Meanwhile, states ban cozy sweepstakes poker sites, pushing fans offline. Ironically, with Trump's casino ownership history and his son's prediction market hustle, taxpayers get reamed while regulators gamble on ruining the game â and Las Vegas braces for a bigger slump than a busted royal flush.

Trumpâs tax law turns poker winnings into phantom income while YouTube flushes top playersâ channels for telling us how to playâall while pretending itâs just about 'policy.' Las Vegas is sweating harder than a poker pro bluffing a royal flush.
YouTube canceled Brad Owenâs channel without explaining why, proving the biggest gamble today is making poker videos online while Congress racks up phantom tax bills it didnât know it was handing out.
Poker players canât deduct all their losses now, meaning winning big can still screw you harder than a bad beat on live stream. At least YouTubeâs crackdown gives them more time to reconsider careers in professional crying.
