This document provides guidance interpreting the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act (’BSA’) regulations1 as they apply to the casino and card club industries in the United States. We additionally published frequently asked questions for casinos and card clubs as FIN-2007-G005 on November 14, 2007. Casinos and card clubs may continue to rely on the guidance contained in FIN-2007-G005, which has not been incorporated into this publication.
Section A: 31 C.F.R. § 103.11 Casino and Card Club DefinitionsQuestion 1: Do Nevada slot route operators operate ’casinos’ for purposes of rules implementing the BSA?
Answer 1: A Nevada slot route operator is a gaming licensee who, pursuant to a participation agreement, owns and maintains slot machines at three or more business establishments. The business establishments are owned and operated by other persons.2 While it is common for Nevada slot route operators to lease space from a property owner (usually referred to as a ’space lease agreement’), and to pay a monthly rental payment to such a landlord, the Nevada slot route operator may have its own ’nonrestricted’ license to conduct gaming on the premises.3 A Nevada slot route operator with a ’nonrestricted ’ license to conduct gaming at a business establishment would be operating a ’casino’ at the business establishment for purposes of FinCEN’s BSA rules,4 if gross annual gaming revenue of its operations at the business establishment exceeds $1 million.5 Question 2: Are gaming or gambling establishments with gross annual gaming revenue of $1,000,000 or less subject to any BSA requirements?
Answer 2: Yes. The requirement to file a FinCEN/IRS Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business, for currency6 received in a trade or business applies to businesses that are not casinos or financial institutions under FinCEN’s rules. The term ’cash’ for Form 8300 reporting purposes includes coin and currency of the United States or any other country, and may include cashier’s checks, bank drafts, traveler’s checks, or money orders received over $10,000 in one transaction (or two or more related transactions) during a 12-month period.7 For purposes of illustration, the following gaming and gambling establishments or nongaming related businesses normally would be subject to Form 8300 requirements:8 (i) casinos or card clubs with gross annual gaming revenue of $1,000,000 or less; (ii) tribal bingo halls, off-track betting parlors, greyhound tracks, horse race tracks, or (iii) a casino hotel, gift shop, cater/banquet service, conference/seminar facilities,10 etc. The BSA prohibits any person from structuring transactions to evade reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the BSA.11 Section B: 31 C.F.R. § 103.22 Currency Transaction Reporting RequirementsQuestion 3: What is the definition of a gaming day and what effect does it have on aggregating a customer’s reportable currency transactions?
Answer 3: A gaming day is defined as the normal business day of a casino or card club. If a casino or card club offers 24-hour gaming, the term ’gaming day’ means that 24-hour period by which a casino or card club keeps its books and records for business, accounting, and tax purposes.12 A casino or card club must have only one gaming day, which is common to all its gambling operating divisions or departments. Maintaining one gaming day facilitates the aggregation of transactions for purposes of currency transaction reporting.Question 4: Is a card club required to file FinCEN Form 103, Currency Transaction Report by Casinos (’CTRC’), for customer currency buy-ins at poker games?
Answer 4: Yes. When a customer at a poker table buys-in13 for more than $10,000 in chips with currency, in a single transaction or a series of related transactions in the same gaming day, a card club must assure compliance with CTRC requirements for such transactions. The same would apply to other non-house banked card games (e.g., games commonly referred to as ’California Games’14 in certain card clubs or card rooms). If the card club has knowledge of the transactions, it must report the transactions on a CTRC.15
A card club must implement a program reasonably designed to assure compliance with the BSA.16 For the reporting of transactions in currency, regardless of whether a card club has a multiple transaction log, it must have a system of internal controls, procedures for using all available information to determine and verify, when required, the name, address, Social Security or Taxpayer Identification Number, and other identifying information for a person, as well as train personnel.17
In addition, BSA rules impose record retention requirements on card clubs.18 These requirements are independent of the requirement to implement a program for ensuring compliance with the BSA. FinCEN understands that many card clubs have internal controls that include a multiple transaction log to record currency transactions above a given threshold (usually $2,500 - $3,000). A card club that prepares or uses records of currency transactions, including currency transaction logs or multiple currency transaction logs, must retain the records.19 Also, the record retention requirement applies to transactions conducted in card or poker rooms located within the facilities of casinos. Also, please note that to comply with regulations implementing the BSA, card clubs may need to prepare and retain records not otherwise produced in the ordinary course of business.20 Similarly, a casino that prepares or uses multiple transaction logs or other records for monitoring the gaming activity of a customer (e.g., in a poker room) must retain the records.21Question 5: Must a casino or card club have an internal control for customer chip redemptions at a cage?
Answer 5: Yes. Casinos and card clubs are required to develop and implement written programs that are reasonably designed to assure compliance with all applicable BSA requirements. This includes establishing internal controls22 to monitor compliance with currency transaction reporting requirements with regard to known customers. Neither 31 C.F.R. § 103.22(b)(2) nor (c)(3) states specifically that a casino or a card club must create a record of transactions that are less than $10,000, a casino or card club would need an effective internal control for customers (known or unknown).23 Therefore, to be able to identify large chip redemptions at a reasonable threshold under $10,000 that were paid with currency that may have been structured to avoid reporting requirements or otherwise to obscure large cash out transactions, a casino or card club must have an internal control for customer chip redemptions at a cage. A casino or card club must aggregate customer currency transactions that occur on the floor or the cage, when it has obtained knowledge of such transactions either from examining records or actual knowledge (including of large chip redemptions for currency).24 For similar reasons, a casino would need a method for identifying large redemptions at a reasonable threshold under $10,000 of a betting ticket, token, or ’TITO’ ticket25 that were paid with currency to a known customer.26
Question 6: To what extent is a casino required to aggregate credit card advances with other types of cash out transactions for currency transaction reporting purposes?
Answer 6: A casino is required to file a CTRC on currency transactions by or on behalf of any customer that, alone or when aggregated, exceed $10,000 in a gaming day. A casino must aggregate and report multiple currency transactions when it has knowledge that such transactions have occurred. Therefore, when a customer uses a credit card at an automated teller machine (’ATM’) or other cash access devices located in a casino or on casino property,27 and then goes to a cage cashier to receive currency for this advance on credit, such transactions would be subject to currency transaction reporting, and they would need to be aggregated with other cash out transactions in which a casino has obtained knowledge to determine whether they exceeded $10,000 to a customer in a gaming day.
Question 7: Is a casino or card club chip runner, casino floor person, or a casino host required to be listed as an agent on a CTRC when they conduct currency transactions on behalf of customers?
Answer 7: No. When cashing out chips in excess of $10,000 in a gaming day for a customer who is actively gambling, a chip runner28 or a floor person,29 is acting within the scope of employment and is an agent of the card club or casino; they are not agents of a customer with respect to such transactions. Accordingly, the chip runner or floor person would not be listed as an agent of a customer on a CTRC. Similarly, a casino host,30 acting within the scope of employment, is an agent of a casino, when conducting any currency transactions in excess of $10,000 in a gaming day for a customer and would not be listed as an agent of a customer on a CTRC. If these casino or card club employees handle currency transactions in excess of $10,000 for a customer, they would be required to obtain identification information from that customer for completion of a CTRC.
Question 8: When a customer refuses to provide a Social Security Number for completing a CTRC, can a casino or card club write ’Refused’ in Item 7 of the CTRC?
Answer 8: No. When a casino or card club has obtained actual knowledge of a reportable currency transaction, it must obtain the identification information (such as customer name, permanent address, and Social Security Number (’SSN’)) needed to file a complete and accurate CTRC, and then verify the name and address ’before concluding the transaction.’ If the customer’s state driver’s license does not contain a Social Security Number and the customer does not provide a paper Social Security Number card issued by the Social Security Administration, a casino or card club can enter a verbally provided SSN on a CTRC. Also, FinCEN understands that a casino may have the customer complete an IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification,31 to obtain a person’s correct Taxpayer Identification Number32 or, if the customer has a deposit or credit account with the casino, the casino will review the account to obtain the SSN since the SSN is required at the time that the account is opened.33 In all cases, a casino or a card club must file a CTRC for reportable transactions with all of the required identifying information that it has obtained from a customer, government records it maintains and/or other verified internal records.34
Question 9: Are two separately licensed, but jointly-owned riverboat casinos that are operating from the same dock and sharing certain information systems, required to aggregate currency transactions by the same customer that occurred at both casinos?
Answer 9: No. Each casino licensee is a separate financial institution for purposes of complying with currency transaction reporting. Two riverboat casinos that are under common ownership and common management, share certain information systems, maintain similar accounting and internal control procedures, or use the same docking facilities, but which have separate licenses, are not required under 31 C.F.R. § 103.22(b)(2) and (c)(3) to aggregate and report customer currency transactions that occurred at both facilities.35 Nonetheless, for two riverboat casinos with automated data processing systems that are closely integrated, automated programs for compliance with the BSA must provide for the use of these systems to aid in assuring compliance with identifying transactions that appear to be suspicious and that are conducted between the two casinos by known customers36 (e.g., to evade the $10,000 reporting requirement through structuring).37
Question 10: Is a casino required to file a CTRC on customer jackpot wins from casino games other than slot jackpot or video lottery terminal wins?
Answer 10: Yes. A casino is required to file a CTRC on customer jackpot wins paid in currency from casino games other than slot jackpot or video lottery terminal wins.38 These include among other games, bingo (traditional),39 Caribbean stud poker, keno, or let it ride poker.40 These transactions may need to be aggregated with other cash out transactions.
Section C: 31 C.F.R. § 103.21 Suspicious Transaction Reporting Requirements
Question 11: May a casino share information with another casino concerning potential suspicious activity?
Answer 11: Yes, casinos may utilize Section 314(b)41 information sharing to work together to identify money laundering and terrorist financing. Also, casinos can utilize Section 314(b) information sharing with depository institutions and money services businesses. Section 314(b) as implemented by 31 C.F.R. § 103.110, establishes a safe harbor from liability for a financial institution or association of financial institutions that voluntarily chooses to share information with other financial institutions for the purpose of identifying and, where appropriate, reporting money laundering or terrorist activity (if required notification, verification and information security is in place). Section 314(b) permits sharing information relating to transactions that a financial institution suspects may involve the proceeds of one or more specified unlawful activities listed in 18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957, which include an array of fraudulent and other criminal activities.42 The safe harbor afforded by Section 314(b) is only available to financial institutions that are required to implement an anti-money laundering program, which includes, for example, depository institutions regulated by a federal functional regulator,43 casinos, and money services businesses.44
Section 314(b) does not replace the existing obligations of financial institutions to file suspicious activity reports when required. Please note that the Section 314(b) process cannot be used by a casino to exchange information with another casino about customers conducting non-criminal financial activities, such as card counting. Also, please note that the process cannot be used to share a copy of a filed FinCEN Form 102, Suspicious Activity Report by Casinos and Card Clubs (’SARC’) or the fact that it was filed, with another financial institution.45 However, the underlying information in the SAR may be disclosed as long as the existence/fact that a SAR has been filed is not revealed. For additional information on the Section 314(b) voluntary information sharing program, or to submit a notice to FinCEN to share information voluntarily, refer to www.fincen.gov.
Question 12: Is a casino or card club required to file a SARC, or FinCEN Form 109, Suspicious Activity Report by Money Service Business (SAR-MSB), for suspicious money transfers or wire transfers that it receives or sends?
Answer 12: A casino or a card club’s requirement to report suspicious activities applies to all types of financial services conducted or attempted by, at, or through a casino or card club. When a casino or card club sells or redeems money transfers or wire transfers within its cage facility, conducted pursuant to a contractual or other arrangement with a money transfer issuer or a bank, it would be required to file a SARC, when it knows, suspects or has a reason to suspect that the transaction or pattern of transactions is both suspicious and involves $5,000 or more. However, if the casino or card club enters into a contractual agreement to lease space within the establishment to a money transfer company and the company’s agent(s) operate the business, then the money services business suspicious activity reporting rules would apply and the money transfer company would use FinCEN Form 109 to report suspicious activity.46
Question 13: To what extent should casinos and card clubs use the ’other’ box in Item 26 on the SARC to describe the type of suspicious activity?
Answer 13: Item 26 on the SARC contains a list of 16 specific types of suspicious activity. Because suspicious transactions may comprise more than one of the listed types of activities, casinos and card clubs should check as many boxes as are applicable (but be sure to check at least one box). FinCEN encourages casinos and card clubs to refrain from checking box ’q’ for ’Other’ on the form unless the activity is not covered by the existing list of suspicious activities.47 Please note that casinos and card clubs must complete Part VI, the narrative portion of the form,48 regardless of whether the ’Other’ box is checked. FinCEN understands that some casinos and card clubs may have mistakenly interpreted box ’q’, ’Other (Describe in Part VI)’ to mean that to complete the SARC’s ’Narrative,’ you must check this box, since it asks a filer to describe the suspicious activity in Part VI. This is incorrect.
Filing forms without checking the appropriate type(s) of suspicious activity or failing to check appropriate boxes describing the types of suspicious activity diminishes their utility to law enforcement and limits FinCEN’s ability to sort these particular forms for review and analysis to look for patterns of suspicious activities.
Question 14: What type of records is a casino or card club required to retain to support a SARC that it has filed?
Answer 14: A casino or card club must maintain supporting documentation or business record equivalents49 with a copy of the filed suspicious activity repor

Answer 5: Yes. Casinos and card clubs are required to develop and implement written programs that are reasonably designed to assure compliance with all applicable BSA requirements. This includes establishing internal controls22 to monitor compliance with currency transaction reporting requirements with regard to known customers.

Answer 6: A casino is required to file a CTRC on currency transactions by or on behalf of any customer that, alone or when aggregated, exceed $10,000 in a gaming day.

Question 8: When a customer refuses to provide a Social Security Number for completing a CTRC, can a casino or card club write ’Refused’ in Item 7 of the CTRC?
Answer 8: No. When a casino or card club has obtained actual knowledge of a reportable currency transaction, it must obtain the identification information (such as customer name, permanent address, and Social Security Number (’SSN’)) needed to file a complete and accurate CTRC, and then verify the name and address ’before concluding the transaction.’ If the customer’s state driver’s license does not contain a Social Security Number and the customer does not provide a paper Social Security Number card issued by the Social Security Administration, a casino or card club can enter a verbally provided SSN on a CTRC.

Question 9: Are two separately licensed, but jointly-owned riverboat casinos that are operating from the same dock and sharing certain information systems, required to aggregate currency transactions by the same customer that occurred at both casinos?
Answer 9: No. Each casino licensee is a separate financial institution for purposes of complying with currency transaction reporting. Two riverboat casinos that are under common ownership and common management, share certain information systems, maintain similar accounting and internal control procedures, or use the same docking facilities, but which have separate licenses, are not required under 31 C.F.R. § 103.22(b)(2) and (c)(3) to aggregate and report customer currency transactions that occurred at both facilities.35 Nonetheless, for two riverboat casinos with automated data processing systems that are closely integrated, automated programs for compliance with the BSA must provide for the use of these systems to aid in assuring compliance with identifying transactions that appear to be suspicious and that are conducted between the two casinos by known customers36 (e.g., to evade the $10,000 reporting requirement through structuring).37

Question 12: Is a casino or card club required to file a SARC, or FinCEN Form 109, Suspicious Activity Report by Money Service Business (SAR-MSB), for suspicious money transfers or wire transfers that it receives or sends?
Answer 12: A casino or a card club’s requirement to report suspicious activities applies to all types of financial services conducted or attempted by, at, or through a casino or card club. When a casino or card club sells or redeems money transfers or wire transfers within its cage facility, conducted pursuant to a contractual or other arrangement with a money transfer issuer or a bank, it would be required to file a SARC, when it knows, suspects or has a reason to suspect that the transaction or pattern of transactions is both suspicious and involves $5,000 or more. However, if the casino or card club enters into a contractual agreement to lease space within the establishment to a money transfer company and the company’s agent(s) operate the business, then the money services business suspicious activity reporting rules would apply and the money transfer company would use FinCEN Form 109 to report suspicious activity.46
Question 13: To what extent should casinos and card clubs use the ’other’ box in Item 26 on the SARC to describe the type of suspicious activity?

Because suspicious transactions may comprise more than one of the listed types of activities, casinos and card clubs should check as many boxes as are applicable (but be sure to check at least one box). FinCEN encourages casinos and card clubs to refrain from checking box ’q’ for ’Other’ on the form unless the activity is not covered by the existing list of suspicious activities.47 Please note that casinos and card clubs must complete Part VI, the narrative portion of the form,48 regardless of whether the ’Other’ box is checked. FinCEN understands that some casinos and card clubs may have mistakenly interpreted box ’q’, ’Other (Describe in Part VI)’ to mean that to complete the SARC’s ’Narrative,’ you must check this box, since it asks a filer to describe the suspicious activity in Part VI. This is incorrect.
Filing forms without checking the appropriate type(s) of suspicious activity or failing to check appropriate boxes describing the types of suspicious activity diminishes their utility to law enforcement and limits FinCEN’s ability to sort these particular forms for review and analysis to look for patterns of suspicious activities.
