The debate over gambling tax rules in the United States heated up again after UFC President and CEO Dana White sent a letter to President Donald Trump on May 11, 2026.
UFC President Dana White recently called on President Donald Trump to reconsider a controversial provision within the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) that restricts the amount of gambling losses that can be deducted. White's letter urged the administration to overturn this particular rule.
