Frequently Asked Questions: New USA Casinos
Are new online casinos safe for US players?
Most are not. 90% of new sites are “shell” companies that disappear. However, the 5 listed on this page (Love2Play, Red Dog, etc.) are “Skins” of established operators with 10+ years of payout history. We only verify new casinos if the parent company is proven.
⚠️ Do I have to pay taxes on winnings in 2026?
Yes. All gambling income is taxable in the US. New for 2026: You can now only deduct losses up to **90%** of your winnings (previously 100%). This means even if you break even, you may owe tax on the remaining 10% of winnings. Keep detailed records of every session.
Why can’t I find the Love2Play app in the App Store?
Apple and Google prohibit real-money offshore casino apps in the US store. Instead, these casinos use Progressive Web Apps (PWA). You simply visit the site in Safari and select “Add to Home Screen” to install the app directly, bypassing the store.
What is a “Sticky” bonus?
A Sticky Bonus (common at new sites) is money you can bet with but never withdraw. If a casino offers you $10,000, it is likely sticky. We recommend the “Cashable” bonuses at Red Dog, where the bonus money becomes real cash after you meet the rollover.
Is Crypto faster than Credit Card?
Significantly. Credit card withdrawals are often unavailable or take 5-7 days via check. Crypto withdrawals (Bitcoin, Litecoin, USDT) at new sites are automated and process in under 2 hours, 24/7/365.
What is the legal gambling age at these sites?
Most offshore sites accept players at 18+. However, we strictly advise you to follow the laws of your specific state. If your state (like Michigan or PA) requires you to be 21, you should wait until you are 21 to play.
