Do I need to report online sports betting and casino wins?

Yes, net gambling winnings are taxable.  You may be able to deduct your gambling losses from your winnings so that only the net winnings are taxable.  If your losses exceed your winnings, you may not deduct your gambling losses.

Do I need to report online sports betting and casino wins?

As Lisa3588 said above, you must pay taxes on gambling winnings.  Gambling losses are  tax deductible, but only to the extent of your winnings and requires you to report all the money you win as taxable income on your return. The deduction is only available if you itemize your deductions. If you claim the standard deduction, then you can't reduce your tax by your gambling losses.
