If you add income to your return, even if it is not self-employment income, it will increase your overall income and overall tax liability. So, if you had taxes withheld from your gambling winnings, and were getting that withholding back, then when you add income that did not have taxes withheld, your income goes up, your tax liability goes up, but the amount that you already paid in, does not go up. So if your tax liability went up to more than you paid in with your gambling, then you would no longer be getting a refund.
