So from what I've read, sometimes casinos will ask for ID when cashing out more than $3000 in chips so they can keep a log. If you cash out $10000 in one day they must file a CTR. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I was at a bj table in Wendover a while back. A player buys in for $500. He doesn't have a player's card. He loses all of it pretty fast. He buys in for another $500. Pit boss comes over and asks for ID. The guy is like, "What for?" Pit boss says, You bought in for $1000, so now I have to fill out such and such form for tax purposes. The guy says he's never heard of that before, but hands over his ID.
From what I've read, this is bullsht. Probably a casino policy, not a federal requirement. I know the guy didn't have to provide ID, but if he didn't hand it over, it would have brought more attention to him.
I've bought in for $1000 a few times at a single table, but I was using a player's card.
So my question is, when not using a player's card, has anyone been asked for ID at the bj table?
