If the poker site is in Gibraltar,UK or any other EU country with 0 tax on gambling you don't pay taxes for it in ANY EU country.

Actually that isn't true. The EG court has only decided that taxing winnings from other countries while leaving domestic winnings untaxed is a free trade violation.

Double taxation deals never enter into it. (I personally think they should, but today it doesn't look like they actually do.)

I don't know if any EU country actually does tax gambling winnings, but they are certainly free to do so from an EU standpoint, as long as they apply the exact same taxes to domestic winnings.

As there isn't a directive stating what is and isn't gambling a country could probably even get away with declaring poker a game of skill, tax it as such, and maintain a tax free national lottery without the EG court being able to do a damn thing about it.

Overall all forms of tax law where you physically are in another country from where you 'actually' work is still kinda muddy. Going to be a few more years until serious legislation is done on this.
