Default Re: new to me... wife not being able to cash out

I think that the biggest issue is that the casino has to track transactions of $3K or more and report anyone who transacts more than $10K in a day to the government. Giving someone who hasn't gambled $8K to cash seems suspiciously like a way to circumvent this requirement, and the casino would be liable if they allowed people to circumvent these rules.

One of the guys in my poker game won $15K at a casino and when he tried to split it up among his 3 friends and got in some trouble with the casino.
