@dickens1298@tru3AP@fblasvegas “Different financial thresholds” dude what are you talking about lol. Spreading to a top bet of 2k+ if you are ACTUALLY counting and a threat to casinos is going to get attention. Early in my career I was backed off at RW HL with a top bet of only 2x500.
@StevenBridges@StanPodolak21 Seconding this. You are allowed to just walk out with the chips, in that case no CTR or ID required. Only if you wanted them cashed would a CTR be needed, or if you paid for chips with cash totaling more than 10k
Earlier this year, the Big, BS Budget Bill changed how gambling losses are taxed by capping the deduction at 90%. That means some gamblers will owe taxes on money they never actually earned when they file starting in 2027.
But we still have time to fix this. As long as we restore the tax deduction on gambling losses to 100% by the end of 2026, this unfair tax hike never takes effect.
I’ll keep fighting next year to get my bipartisan #FAIRBETAct passed.
This blurb from CBP is very misleading. The money was crossing the border in/out of the US, and the holder did not declare it to customs. The car got selected to be searched and the cash was found. It’s illegal to carry over 10k in or out of the country without declaring.
It's not a crime to carry over $10K, we just want to know about it. CBP officers in Texas seized over $70K of unreported U.S. currency. A driver was referred for secondary inspection, during which officers and a K9 unit found the money concealed in the vehicle.

@sevencard2003@tru3AP I know why they want it, it’s because I’m counting, or beating them in another way. Showing ID will only confirm that I am who they think I am, or create another database entry. @tru3AP and I are both pro gamblers, they aren’t asking for our ID’s to gift us food and rooms lol
@LasVegasLocally Vegas is definitely declining, but this clickbait saying the Bellagio fountains are empty…. My Vegas trip ritual is fighting through a wall of tourists at the fountain after my Cosmo backoff
Long shot uncapped progressive slots are like a toxic on/off again ex who keeps saying they’ve changed.
Every spin has the same cold odds as the last 900, yet I still sit there thinking “this time is gonna be different”
I also struggle with it morally to some degree. Scraping money away from unsuspecting strangers via jackpots they won’t win is such a lame way to make money. Casinos rarely care, because it’s better for them. You just turn the machine over for the next ploppy to dump money into
Today a slot hustler ran up to check a machine next to one I was checking. I just chuckled at him, and under his breath he said something like “I was coming here first”. I’m near ready to leave the EV laying around so I can get away from slot AP culture, it’s truly the worst.
Normally I would have cashed it in small amounts, but this place was tiny, one cage with two windows, it would have taken likely 2 days to get them all cashed and I needed to leave the casino that day.
Had $9,300 in chips today after playing at a place in the middle of nowhere, where I don’t intend to return, with an average to sub-par game. No backoff and wasn’t ID’d ever. What should I have done with the chips? I’ll post what I did and how it went after I see the results.
I forced the cash out without showing my ID, it did not go smoothly 😂. I said I was going through an identity issue and couldn’t show ID. Police, supervisors, and SAR threats later, I was cashed out. The scene wasn’t worth it, I’ll show ID if I end up in that spot again.
@SD1_AP Yes, but the casino is from a chain that is notoriously dumb/doesn’t contribute to databases often. No chance of facial recognition from them at this place.
