Rosa Mendez, a spokeswoman for the Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation, told the Las Vegas Review Journal that gamblers are self-employed and may qualify as independent contractors “during this unprecedented time and under the CARES Act.”

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed by President Trump on March 27. One aspect of the bill extended unemployment benefits to self-employed individuals.

Gambling may not be viewed as a typical job, but a lot of Americans in the state of Nevada make a living gambling, and pay taxes on that income. Due to the lack of poker games and sporting events, unemployment could be a relief that gamblers need.
