Federal withholding at payout
$2,400

The payer holds back 24% of winnings over $5,000 and sends it to the IRS. It's a prepayment, not the final tax.

Federal tax on the winnings
$1,550

Winnings are ordinary income stacked on your other $60,000. Your top dollar lands in the 22% bracket.

State tax
$875

Oregon taxes gambling winnings as ordinary income.

Still to pay when you file
$25

Tax owed ($2,425) minus what was withheld ($2,400). Set this aside. A large balance can also mean an underpayment penalty unless you make an estimated payment.

You keep
$7,575

$10,000 minus $2,425 in federal and state tax: an effective rate of 24.3%.

The rules

Oregon tax
Oregon taxes sports betting winnings as ordinary income at graduated rates from 4.75% to 9.9%.[1]
Federal tax form
Sports betting winnings are reported on a W-2G when they are $2,000 or more (after subtracting the wager) and at least 300 times the wager. The threshold was $600 before 2026.[2]
Federal withholding
24% is withheld from sports betting winnings of more than $5,000, but only when the win is also at least 300 times the wager.[2]
Oregon withholding
No Oregon withholding requirement for sports betting winnings. Tax is due when you file.[5]
Gambling losses
You can deduct losses only as an itemized deduction on Schedule OR-A, and only up to the gambling winnings Oregon actually taxes.[6]Unverified
Visitors
Oregon does not tax nonresidents on sports betting winnings. Visitors owe tax to their home state instead.[7]Unverified
Where to play
Sports betting in Oregon: legal online and in person. Winnings from a bet placed in another state are taxable here all the same.[8]
