Default Is this ilegal?

I live in Brazil. Almost all gambling games are illegal in Brazil.(Exceptions are bingo, sports betting and few others). I whore at casinos on internet and get $$$. I withdraw and send to my bank. I report it to "IRS" and pay taxes. Am I a criminal?

ps: Does anyone from other country with the same situation knows the answer?I couldnt find someone specialized here to answer this.

online gambling is illegal in the US and we still report it to our IRS. Here, though, no one really pays attention, I don't know about Brazil of course...but yes, I imagine it would be illegal technically.

I don't know about Brazil, but here in the US you are MUCH more likely to be prosecuted for tax evasion then illegal gambling. If you get curious and look at history you'll find much of the organized crime convictions are for tax evasion or mail fraud, not for the heavy stuff they were doing. So yes, you are better off reporting it on your taxes.
