What About The IRS?

     I admit it, I am hooked.  These casino sites on Facebook are addictive.  They give you so many free chips to play that you never have to buy chips and you can win big!  Do I have to report my winnings to the IRS?  Think about that for a minute.
     Before you go condemning me for gambling, you have to know that these are just on-line video games.  You are playing not for real money, but for free chips that the casino gives you.  You can buy more chips, but they are not real.  It is all make believe.  I don't know if you have ever gone to the sites and played, but it is a kick.
My Make believe house that I am paying for with my make believe winnings which the not make believe  IRS  has taxed.
     My question is still real.  Are my winnings taxable and reported to the IRS?  I wouldn't put it past them to want taxes on these make believe winnings.  Such is life. You can't escape death and taxes. Maybe I will pay the IRS with my  make believe winnings.
