Yes, you do need to report your gambling winnings even if your losses equal or exceed them. That is because your losses are only deductible if you itemize your deductions. So, if your losses and other itemized deductions are not greater than your standard deduction, you will have to pay tax on your winnings but your losses will not benefit you on your federal return as a tax deduction. @lauren317
