The proposed regulations would have the same positive results for advance-deposit wagering customers and would not impact how those wagers are currently made."

Below is from Hegarty's DRF piece. If I'm interpreting this correctly (which I may not be), it seems like ABC players might be ok as long as they are using an ADW? Or would the IRS still take a cut and you'd have to get it back at tax time?
Under the rules, the new reporting and withholding requirements would apply only to a single ticket if the bet was placed at a physical wagering site, such as a racetrack or OTB. However, customers of account-wagering companies would be able to count all such wagers into a single pool, regardless of the number of tickets, because of the existence of a verifiable record of those wagers.
