the $10k falls under the 'bank secrecy act'

however, it does not apply to wire transfers--only cash, checks, etc.

So I received an email from the audit company who said they completed their part in this and forwarded their report to the software company that runs casino (apparently the anonymous 3rd party). 

Now I guess I am waiting for them to contact 5dimes. 5dimes live chat said it normally doesn't take too long but 72 hours comes at 9am tomorrow. 

Being patient right now. With tomorrow being Saturday I don't imagine I will hear anything before Monday now.

Decided if I do get the money will keep out 27% for taxes. 5 dimes max cashiers checks are 7500 a pop. Wonder if I pull out that amount every couple weeks if flags  will be raised?

Vegas will also check the machine for a malfunction before they pay a jackpot.

27% isn't bad at all. IRS is really bad news. Good choice to set that money aside.

tax attorney will cost 90k. Skip that meeting.

Seen it all before - I'd be willing to wager $100,000 that the $65,000 or so that this guy winds up with is all pissed away on "Locks" by the end of March Madness......

when you take it out in checks that are 7500 max no flags are raised. You literally have no worries about taxes on anything you take out using monegram or we.st union but they do bang u with fees each time usually. set aside money from the checks you'd have to pay taxes on just incase but I wouldn't worry about it you'll be fine

Still no word from 5 dimes yet. I figured things would be held up due to New Years and then the weekend. If I don't hear from them by noon tomorrow will definitely contact their customer service.

Not hard to spot a covers phony/moron. This guy doesn't fit the profile. You'll learn

My post wasn't meant to be a joke. it's pretty much a known fact. I've personally known guys to be up tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they think they're 10 feet tall and bulletproof.

BookBeater - if this is indeed true, and you can pull yourself away from the siren song of the next hot tip, more power to you, buddy. Buy your daughter that house. Some of us learn the hard way.....

worst case scenario...1 in 100,000 id guess somehow you do get audited for gambling, couldnt you just pick up a lot of loser tickets from casino or race track and claim the losses to offset your winnings?

As of this post it has not. I contacted 5dimes last night and they said to wait 24 hours and to contact them again. Starting to get a bad feeling about this, but maybe it just takes this long. Will keep you updated.

I am pulling for you.....have gotten the similar run around from several books in the past when it comes time for them to pay.

Stay on them......it would be interesting if you could document a live chat, or email...curious of the correspondence.

Yeah from now on I will save all live chats. I do still have the emails from their audit team. You would think...like our local casino does...they would want it known that someone hit big, so more players might come on board.

Give ém 24 hours. If they don't confirm your payout then let's go get your money. I'll bring the guns, you brink the liquor.

Wait, where are they?

Bob: Welcome to our online Customer Service! How may I assist you today?

Me: Hi, On 12-31-14 I was playing in the Grand Casino and hit 10% of the Megasaur Jackpot, which was a little over $105,000. A box came up saying “you have won a big big jackpot, please allow for 72 hours for us to check the machine for malfunction and someone will get back to you”. Later that day a representative from CDS contacted me and asked me to send a copy of my drivers license and a utility bill to him. I did that and on 1-2-14 he emailed me back and said their investigation was complete and they would forward a copy of their report to the third party who runs the software and my winnings should be released shortly. I was patient and contacted customer service last night after not hearing anything and they said to recontact you guys in 24 hours. Which I am doing now. Just wondering if you had any update for me?

Bob: Let me check your account, just a moment please.

Me: ok

Bob: I appreciate your patience, as soon as I have an answer I will get back to you.  

Me: ok

Bob: we are currently verifying with the casino representative

Me: ok...does that mean I should hold

Bob: we should have further feedback for you tomorrow

Me: I keep getting told that...I obviously have never hit a jackpot before...and no one is letting me the time frame of how long this normally takes...Other than the original 72 hour message I got...you can understand my concern

Bob: yes we do

Me: Yesterday I was told I would hear within 24 hours

Bob: sorry for any delays we are already in the verification process for you to receive your winnings

Bob: please verify back with us tomorrow for further information

Me: So do you or the casino representative have a time frame for how long this normally takes..I cant be the 1st person to ever win a jackpot

Bob: unfortunately there is no time frame

Bob: you were already contacted this matter meaning there is already a process taking place

Bob: so please allow us and the 3rd party to do our part

Bob: contact us back tomorrow

Me: Alright I will check back again tomorrow. Look I am not trying to be a pain. The rep I spoke to last night said he would be the same way. I am just doing what I am being told...72 hours...then 24...and now tomorrow. Thanks for your patience.

You're doing good not losing your cool. Whatever you do, don't flip out when you're chatting with them.

These people you're talking to are mentally retarded as are most book reps offshore..

Personally I wouldn't mention anything about a withdraw, just a posted balance. They want you to stay, play and lose it - lead them in that direction a little.

 pullin for ya.
