Net Winnings

1 min read

Total payout less your stake. 

"Net Winnings" refers to the total amount of money a gambler has won from gambling activities after deducting any losses and expenses associated with those activities. It is calculated by taking the total winnings and subtracting the total losses and any relevant costs, such as entry fees for tournaments or other gambling-related expenses.

In a more simplified formula, it can be expressed as:

Net Winnings = Total Winnings - Total Losses - Expenses

Net winnings are important for both players and casinos, as they reflect the actual profit or loss from gambling activities over a specific period. For tax purposes, in many jurisdictions, only net winnings may be reported as taxable income.
