A small provision added to President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” — that came to light days before the president signed the bill into law July 4 — could have a major impact on sports betting.

Now that President Donald Trump signed the bill, workers will be able to deduct up to $25,000 in reported tips and $12,500 in overtime pay from their taxable income on their federal tax returns.

Whether the American public comes to see the “Big Beautiful Bill” as “beautiful” remains to be seen. A June 26 Quinnipiac poll found 29% of voters support the bill, 55% opposed it, and 16% did not have an opinion. What’s clear is that Democrats will hold the bill against Trump during the 2026 midterm election campaign season.
