Steven Bridges has a youtube series about being a professional card counter and he has from time to time refused to show ID when it doesn’t reach a certain limit.
financial institutions in the US are absolutely required to file a report at 10k due to federal laws. They will need your ID to do this properly (and if you refuse, they file an SAR on you instead, which will probably have your photo from surveillance and probably your name and players card info from their in house security as well).
Whether and when they request your ID for smaller amounts is up to them, but after the first fine for not properly reporting a structured cashout they will start asking for them from 2-5k just like every other institution does.
You are not required to hand over ID for any cashout, but they don't have to cash you out either, and if you don't hand it over you will have an SAR filed on you instead. I mean, if you like poking yourself in the eye, have at it I guess.
Yeah I just meant that some jurisdictions it might be a lower limit. Not that it might be higher. Although I couldn’t find anything directly to back that up so I could be wrong. Still good to check out the local laws to see what the casino is allowed to enforce with regard to cashing people out while showing ID.
While 'local' authorities are allowed to set more stringent limits when it comes to Federal or State laws, it's very unlikely that they would do so for this exact spot .. what are they to gain from having this law on the books?
Indian Casinos do have Gaming oversite, but it's just not via the same Gaming Board as a public casino .. so while it may be way less 'fruitful' to get Tribal Gaming involved in a spot, they do still have it. And most Tribal Gaming Boards do have to follow/answer to the Federal Tribal Gaming Commission should they belong to entity.
As mentioned above .. Why create the dust? Yes, you could be trespassed and end up delayed for a long time. In one YT CC BJ Vlog I'm pretty sure the local police were called in and in the end he did get his cashed out. There was definitely another where they gave up on the Trespass, but also refused to cash out his chips. These were mostly Tribal on west of the MS River. In one spot he was getting away with playing but didn't realize or remember that 'this' casino' had joined together with others and the Head of Security just happened to be there that day and saw him at a table.
