Don't Overpay Tax You Don't Owe.
You won some crypto betting, and the worry is handing the IRS more than you actually owe. With gambling, the classification and your records decide the bill. We get both right so you pay only what the rules require.
Gambling, Income, or Both?
Crypto gambling tax is confusing because your winnings can be ordinary income while the crypto you bet is its own taxable disposal. We make the treatment clear and give you a position you can defend.
Worried about CPA fees?
Complex crypto accounting has a reputation for runaway bills. We don't bill by the hour. Our plans scale with your volume and complexity, and every plan includes the software, the reconciliation, and the finished report.
// who we are
"Crypto gamblers get a raw deal at tax time. The platforms rarely send usable records, the IRS rules are a maze, and most accountants have never seen a sportsbook wallet. We built CountDeFi for exactly this work: reconstruct the betting history, settle the classification, and hand you a water-tight tax report."

Audit-proof crypto gambling accounting in a grey area of tax
We've been reconstructing complex crypto and on-chain activity since 2017, handling everything from a handful of sportsbook bets to thousands of casino and on-chain wagers across wallets. The hard part is rarely the tax rate. It's 2 things, the data and the classification. Crypto books and on-chain casinos rarely issue usable tax forms, so every deposit, bet, win, and withdrawal has to be reconstructed from wallet and account activity. Plus, your winnings can be ordinary income, the crypto you staked is its own taxable disposal, and losses only offset winnings if you itemize.
These aren't edge cases. It's the reality of betting crypto in 2026. Without solid data and a clear position, you can't know your real exposure, and you can't be sure your return holds up if the IRS asks.
CountDeFi reconstructs incomplete betting histories, traces activity across books and wallets, and delivers accurate, defensible reports you can file with confidence. Getting your crypto gambling taxes sorted doesn't have to cost a fortune. At CountDeFi we do not bill by the hour. Our pricing scales with transaction volume and complexity, and all plans include software fees, transaction reconciliation, and a complete tax report.

// EXPERT SKILLS
Why crypto bettors hire CountDeFi
Nobody hires a crypto tax firm for fun. Crypto bettors want the smallest tax bill the rules legally allow, because they earned those winnings and have no interest in handing the IRS more than they owe. They want it done right the first time, so a return they sign this year doesn't resurface as a problem 3 years from now. They want to stay compliant and off the audit radar, because an IRS look at a pile of sportsbook and casino activity is nobody's idea of a good time. And they want all of that without a CPA bill that eats the winnings it was meant to protect. That is exactly what we deliver. We keep your bill defensible and as low as the rules allow, get the classification and records right up front, and price the work so it never costs more than it saves. You hand over the mess, and you get back a clean, audit-ready report.

Why tax software battles with crypto gambling
Tax software is a great starting point, but crypto gambling breaks most platforms. Tax software is not the problem. Koinly, for example, is a genuinely good engine, which is exactly why we use it and why we're Koinly's #1 Global Accounting Partner. But no engine, however capable, can rebuild a history that's scattered across wallets, exchanges, and several books, or decide whether your activity counts as wagering, capital, or something else. That second call moves your final bill more than anything else does. So we handle that part ourselves: we reconstruct the data, review the activity, and settle on the position that holds up. Then Koinly runs the numbers. If you already have a Koinly portfolio, we can work directly from it.

Frequently asked questions
What does crypto gambling tax accounting include?
Does CountDeFi provide accounting for Stake, Bovada and other crypto sportsbooks?
Crypto gambling tax accounting covers both the gambling activity and the crypto transactions around it. CountDeFi reconciles deposits, bets, wins, losses, withdrawals and payouts across crypto sportsbooks and casinos, then calculates the figures needed for tax reporting. Where crypto is used to fund an account or winnings are paid in crypto, we also account for the related crypto acquisitions and disposals rather than treating the betting history in isolation.
Yes. CountDeFi provides crypto sportsbook and casino accounting for activity on Stake, Bovada and other gambling platforms. We reconcile the available platform records with wallet, exchange and blockchain data to establish what was deposited, wagered, won and withdrawn. If you use several sportsbooks or casinos, we can bring that activity together into one tax accounting and reporting history.
Can CountDeFi handle crypto gambling tax reporting if I use both sportsbooks and crypto wallets?
Can CountDeFi reconstruct missing crypto gambling and sportsbook records?
Yes. This is one of the main reasons specialist crypto gambling accounting can be useful. A sportsbook statement may show your betting results, while the crypto used to fund the account has its own acquisition history and cost basis. Withdrawals can create another set of records when winnings move back to a wallet or exchange. CountDeFi reconciles both sides so your gambling and crypto tax reporting are based on the complete transaction history.
Yes. If sportsbook or casino records are missing or incomplete, CountDeFi can use the records that remain to reconstruct the history where sufficient evidence is available. This can include wallet addresses, blockchain transactions, exchange records and available platform exports. We trace deposits and withdrawals, identify gaps and rebuild the accounting needed to support the final tax calculations rather than simply estimating the missing activity.
How much does crypto gambling and sportsbook tax accounting usually cost?
How much does CountDeFi charge for crypto gambling tax accounting?
Crypto gambling tax accounting costs vary according to the number of transactions and the amount of reconstruction involved. Across the industry, a CPA or accountant may bill by the hour, charge a fixed project fee, or price according to the size and complexity of the gambling and crypto history. Someone with one sportsbook and clean records will generally require less accounting work than a high-volume bettor using several crypto casinos, wallets and exchanges.When comparing prices, check whether the quote includes sportsbook reconciliation, wallet and blockchain accounting, missing-record reconstruction, crypto tax software and the final tax reports. A low starting fee can mean less if those pieces are billed separately.
CountDeFi's crypto tax accounting plans start at $695 for up to 500 transactions. Standard is $1,695 for up to 3,000 transactions, Premium is $2,995 for up to 5,000, Expert is $4,495 for up to 10,000, and Degen is $5,995 for up to 15,000 transactions. The appropriate plan depends on your transaction volume and the complexity of your sportsbook, casino, wallet and exchange activity. CountDeFi's standard plans are not billed by the hour. Software, transaction reconciliation and the completed crypto tax report are included, giving you a clear accounting cost before the work begins. See CountDeFi pricing and plans.
