    Difficult to play unrated while taking markers.

    Blackjack blueprint did a good job in scaring me away from getting markers or anything that requires a license shown.

    I personally would not care to play unrated or rated unless I was a person of suspicion in the casinos system. I would tell them clerks to rate me, sign me in while snapping my fingers at them and saying, "I want my casino credit NOW!" "Where do I sign?"

    Mofungoo made a great point also in that they use a multi-state bank. I'm sure they have a Bank of America in Las Vegas or any other major gambling town as an example of what he is saying. Look at the banks where they could go in such a venue to make a withdrawal without the hassle and worry as long as an account is set up.

    Are you being eyed with suspicion when you play or have you had any past problems with casino staff because of your play? If you don't want to produce ID that's fine. There is more than one way to go about the problem that I'm sure you will figure out a solution to.

    Of course a CTR will be prepared along with the withdrawal.

    Let them make their report since it is law. I wouldn't care as long as the clerk at the bank does what they are supposed to do, hand over the cash. $10K-$50K is really a small amount of cash when you consider that the U.S. Treasury/Mint is printing Trillions of dollars. I'd tell that to the clerk at the bank as they are counting it up and about to hand it over.

    I wouldn't care about a CTR from a bank, but I would care about getting one from a casino - you'll have to show them your ID and then they will have your name.

    You might not care, but the bank probably does. It takes time and effort on their part. If you do this too often, you may get backed off by your bank. It has happened...

    Large banks create them automatically and batch file them. No humans involved.

    That may be. But the teller, a human, is still involved. The last time I made a CTR-required transaction at my bank -- a quite large one with retail presence in many, many states -- it took nearly half an hour to complete.

    Strange things happen. I bought a bank check to pay for a car once; and the teller started questioning my decision to buy the car.

    dude 5 stacks is either 25k or 50k so either way your going to be way fine for the most part. Put in in your carry on and just sent it threw. It is highly unlikly there are going to search the bag just cause of cash. Make sure you have everything out of your bag that could cause a problem for it to get searched. On top of that carry blackjack and the law, a tax return if want, index cards, playing cards ect.

    If you get a bag check and they pull the bag simply proceed to the tsa agent that you have a large amound of currency in your back (if he opens the bag and is immediately going to see the money cause of the size of the bricks).

    Dont sweat it and dont be neverous. After TSA see's the cash there going to call the supervisor. Tell them your going on a gambling trip (having a binded up of your casino itentinary along with hotel, rent a car shows them your intent). They will then ask for your ID and take it in the back and radio the name in to see if you are on a "bad guy list, known bad guys like terriost crimanial, fbi watch list". Then they will give you your bag and free to go. If your flying in an international terminal with domestic flights dont be surprised if a cop or DEA show up and talk with you at the gate ( one of the reason is they think you could be trying to pass off the cash to someone flying international and not declaring the cash so they want to make sure you still have the cash on you before you board your plane). Be nice to them but if they get cute with you and start intimdating you state " sir I respect that you just doing your job but i am law abiding american citizen and carry any currency domestically is 100 percent legal, I am being detained, am i free to go?" If the question you after that just keep starting and nothing else "am i being detained, am i free to go?" They will let you go.

    whatever you do i would not tell tsa ahead of time that you have cash because 98-99% of the time as long as you have no liquids, no wires, no labtops and no boxy objects in your carry on and jsut cash it will go threw the scanner no problem and no one will care or know you have the cash on you.


    People really do carry 25 to 50k on them all the time to travel, it might seem like a lot but its not.

    good idea on keeping blackjack and the law with casino promotions in the money bag that mite make them think twice. I have a lot problems on airports because my name is on most wanted list (mother liked foreign TV a little to much) even tho I don't look the part. TSA always leaves a note in my checked bag stating that my bag has been searched along with wrinkling up by dress shirts.
