Free for every player
The log the IRS asks for, kept as you play: say what happened and it fills itself in, with the casino, sportsbook or app looked up and its location filled; each W-2G sits beside its session and every session nets the IRS way. Free with an account, unlimited, no card. CSV and printable PDF whenever you want them.
Prefer paper or a spreadsheet? The free session log template has the same fourteen columns. Comparing trackers? W2gMatch beside GambleLedger. General information, not tax advice.
What one session looks like
You check the highlighted fields and press Log session; nothing is saved until you do. Then the year adds itself up: the winning sessions' total is your winnings, the losing sessions' total is the deduction a filer who itemizes may take (90% from tax year 2026, never more than winnings).
Free with an account
Tell the tracker what happened in a sentence, out loud or typed, and the form fills itself in. You check it and press Log session.
Guardrails: the AI only places your own words into the session fields, never invents a place, amount or date, and never gives tax advice. Nothing is saved until you press Log session. Create a free account to use it.
What the free log does
What it looks like
A preview of the form and the year it adds up to. The same fields, the same arithmetic and the same fourteen export columns as the tracker in your free account, where every control works.
What the tracker looks like
A preview with sample sessions. The working tracker is in your free account.
The 2026 picture these samples make
Sample figures. Each session nets inside itself; sessions are never netted against each other. Losses count only if you itemize. General information, not tax advice.
