Titus was joined by an expert panel that broke down the potential consequences of the rule. Adam Robinson of American Bettors’ Voice called the cap “fundamentally a fairness issue,” warning that it effectively taxes players on “phantom income.” He stressed that livelihoods could be at risk if professional players are taxed on more than they actually earn. Becky Harris, a gaming policy expert at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Russell Fox, a tax specialist at Clayton Financial, echoed the concerns.
