Thread: Why can cage demand ID?

    Why can cage demand ID?

    Hello All,
    I play unrated and at the cage I simply refuse to provide ID whenever asked. I say something like, sorry I love playing here but I don't handout my ID to anyone. I do not know what you will do with my personal information etc.
    So my question is, why are casinos even allowed to demand ID at the cage at all? If you are obviously of age...over 40 grey hair etc? Do states casino rules even allow them to demand ID?

    Are you in the United States? Google KYC/AML and FinCEN.

    They are allowed to demand ID if you have a single transaction over $10,000.

    I've had native stores try to demand ID in order to cash out below $10k. I simply return on a different shift and conduct incremental cash outs.

    Not only Indian casinos. If you cash out more than $1,000 in Wendover they want to see your players card and they write your name down on a list.

    Google it like I suggested. 10k limit is only one very small part.

    Not a good idea to admit that you're structuring. I'd delete that post if I were you.

    Yes I already googled it...that is not my question. I am not asking about Indian Casinos either obviously.

    i had an incident at a cet store in vegas where i cashed out 3500ish and they wanted my id
    i told them i don't have it with me, look way over 21 and was never asked for id when i was playing.
    security told me i'm supposed to have id with me no matter what, i told them that's a load of crap. took the chips and just cashed them out a few days later.

    in vegas at the none premium places like aria and wynn it seems as though 3k is the cutoff for when they ask for id

    How is it structuring if it is below 10k?

    That is what I was thinking also.

    The amount doesn't matter. You are purposely breaking up a large transaction into many smaller ones to avoid ANY reporting. If you're trying to even avoid the cage keeping track of them is still structuring. You'll find out the hard way sooner our later.
