  When it comes to cryptocurrency gambling in California, it's important to understand the tax implications. The state treats cryptocurrency as property, so any gains or losses from gambling activities using cryptocurrency are subject to capital gains tax. This means that if you make a profit from gambling with cryptocurrency, you'll need to report it as income and pay taxes on it. On the other hand, if you incur losses, you may be able to deduct them from your overall tax liability. It's always best to consult with a tax professional to ensure you're complying with the state's tax laws.
