Story for 2day

So I was at the casino today and was short on time because I was suppose to be on an errand, but thought to stop by for a short session. Lo and behold my father was there. He is a ploppy that just randomly up his bets on his feel. He isn't an ap player and was down about 9k. Anyway, he wasn't too happy to see me, especially in light of how much he already lost. To make the story short I went back home. So while I was gone he borrow another 5k from his friend and proceeded to gamble away again. From what he told me he was down on his last 2k, but managed to claw his way back. At one time he was up 20k plus, but left with 10k. He only cashed out 5k and had the rest of the chips in his pocket to go order some food to take home. The problem was he went to return the 5k cash back to his friend before his order and while he was waiting for his food, two suits came up to him and ask for ID. He refused at first, but give in after they say they are gonna call the cops. But, when he tried to cash in his other chips, they won't let him. Anyone know why they ask for ID under the circumstances and why won't they let him cash out his chips. Not even for 3k?

If he is a ploppy, why is he so hesitant to show ID?

If he bought in for $9k, and another $5k, in cash, they need his info for a CTR.

But they still had to let him cash his chips after providing ID. Not sure how they can justify their restriction.

Because he is suspicious in nature.
Whether or not they have the right to withhold his money for not showing ID, he should stop being stubborn and just cough up the ID, seeing as he is just a ploppy.

This is a very sad story. You DO realize that your dad's problem is MUCH MUCH deeper than this?
Yeah, and believe it or not, he is the doing the best out of his brothers and sisters. All my aunts and uncles on my dad's side are degenerate gamblers. I think it runs in the family. 2 lost all their stuff, one lost most of it, one lost a quarter, my dad is actually doing the best as he is only down in asset equal to a non major suburban townhouse since he first started gambling. I am not saying this in a proud way, just facing the facts. If anyone wants to give some tips on how to stop him from gambling, I am all ears. Lucky for us kids, he atleast know when to stop; which usually means his cash and cards are maxed out. *a touch of sarcasm*.

This. Get his chips cashed and try to get him self-excluded or get him to GA meetings or something.
