For what its worth.,I wish you weren't here and had never been allowed back. You don't deserve to be here, IMO.

I had won a $1,000 Bingo cash prize last year in January, and this year, I got a tax form sent to my house for that $1,000! :O It's not a $1,200, so I didn't think I would get a tax form sent to my house. :O

Move. Now that the IRS knows where you live, they'll send you all sorts of nasty notifications. It's a dirty little secret, but half the homeless live like they do, just to avoid paying taxes.

Over $600 IRS has different rules if I am not mistaken.

You still were supposed to report it.

You are supposed to report everything. $600 is a cutoff for certain things as part of Obamacare. Before that it was less so.

As to casinos it can be weird. A “jackpot” is usually reported meaning a multiple of what you win. So you could bet $1000 and win $1000 no report but bet $1 won $601 and it gets reported.

Nathan, you do realise that every dollar you ever won on your assorted advantage plays has / had to be voluntarily reported to the IRS so that they could tax you for them. You did keep rigourous records didn't you? In your country, tax on winnings can be a real PITA.

The IRS sees all ! They caught up with that $1,000. That probably means they are onto your other wins too.

Three days for bullying.

You are allowed to express disagreement with Wizard's decision. However, the statement "You don't deserve to be here" is a statement about Nathan as a person and it is unusually offensive because it is made to a member who is autistic, black and female. As is the statement "I wish you weren't here." This goes beyond rude, mean and uncivil, it is offensive on more than one level.

The context? It is that you parachuted into a thread named Nathan's Corner, and unconnected from an on-going discussion, say to Nathan "I wish you weren't here" and "You don't deserve to be here." The only possible interpretation of your intent is that you mean to hurt her feelings and to degrade her as a human being.

If you want to comment about this suspension, please post in the Discussion of the Suspension List thread.

Sorry, Gordon, but he’s right. Playing the race card, the gender card, and the disability card in one mess of an explanation is hard to do! So congrats on that.

I’m not against the suspension as I agreed with all your non racial/gender/disability points.

Gordon, if Nathan was a non autistic white male are you implying Billy’s comments would have been ok?

2 people bear me to this. But I will add to what they say. Are you implying someone black and female cannot handle themself? That they need some kind of special treatment? Please let us know. Let us know if I should still keep my sig?

I only got the $500 Bingo win because someone else won with me, so the $1,000 Bingo win was split between us.
As I write this post, I remember mentioning that I won $500 and Posters responding something like,"Had you been the sole $1,000 winner, you would have gotten a tax form sent to your house."

Interesting way to avoid the tax man: play with a companion, each play your own games, but if a big score comes tell them you are playing as a team so that each get an amount below the threshold.

So the Bingo parlor said "OK, forget the tax reporting?"
"What, me worry?"

It was only $500 the very first time, so it didn't reach the $600 threshold for tax form. :)

No, you misunderstand my question, or maybe I misunderstood the facts.

If the normal winning amount that triggers a mandatory tax report to the IRS is $600, and if you hit for a grand, I thought you said that the Bingo parlor did not issue the mandatory report because you said you had a partner, implying that you both owned and played the winning card.

If they bought that argument I can see a potential for abuse, or perhaps it would be better called "advantage play:" avoiding tax on an amount over $600 but less than $1200 by falsedly claiming your buddy next to you and yourself co-owned and co-played the winning Bingo entry.

Aren’t you a lawyer? She didn’t say she had a partner. YOU just made that up! She said ‘someone else won with her’. As I can remember from the last time I played Bingo 40 years ago, there are (many) times two people get a bingo simultaneously, and thus split a jackpot.

Yes, I was a lawyer, and no, I don't play bingo and am not too familiar with what goes on in a bingo parlor.

I misunderstood and thought there was only one winner, and she split it with a companion; I now see that there were two different winners.

Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to play bingo...

It was only $500 the very first time, so it didn't reach the $600 threshold for tax form. :)



No, you misunderstand my question, or maybe I misunderstood the facts.

If the normal winning amount that triggers a mandatory tax report to the IRS is $600, and if you hit for a grand, I thought you said that the Bingo parlor did not issue the mandatory report because you said you had a partner, implying that you both owned and played the winning card.

If they bought that argument I can see a potential for abuse, or perhaps it would be better called "advantage play:" avoiding tax on an amount over $600 but less than $1200 by falsedly claiming your buddy next to you and yourself co-owned and co-played the winning Bingo entry.

I believe the difference is whether one hit for Bingo occurred and two people claim they are sharing the win

Vs. Two separate players hitting the same bingo simultaneously.

Most likely for the former one person would be forced to accept the prize and tax responsibility while any agreement to share money and tax liability was between the players to hammer out on their own. That's how it's done with W2-G jackpots.

In the case of the latter it's similar to multiple winners on a Lotto. The prize is divided accordingly

So, on another Website when I was a Newbie, Longer time Members were like,"Can you link to what you are saying as proof of what you are saying?" I innocently linked to another Website. I didn't get thanked or acknowledged that I did exactly what the Long time Members asked me to do. I thought,"This is a red flag!" On another part of the Website, the Admin said something like,"Nathan, I have already received multiple complaints about you from Long time Members and I have been asked multiple times if you are a Troll. Even I admit I do question your motives. The Long time Members who asked you to link to another Website were setting you up into getting into trouble. Linking to outside Websites is strictly prohibited and the Long time Members know this. Normally, I'd just give you a warning that posting links to outside Websites is strictly prohibited, and would tell the Long time Members that tricking a Newbie into breaking a ruke is unacceptable and can lead to distrust, but because I also question your motives, I must give you a strike. Three strikes means an automatic permanent banning. I have removed the link and have closed that thread."

On another Website, I was named Kentry1802. An Imposter named himself Kentry-1802 and posted that he wanted to do completely disgusting things with children. Posters automatically assumed that I was the Imposter and wanted to find my address and send the Authorities to my house so that they could arrest me! :O My enemy on the Website said something like,"Kentry is being Impostered. Kentry doesn't write completely disgusting things like that. And besides, Kentry's Imposter has a dash(-) in his name. The real Kentry doesn't have a dash(-) in his name. It's a REALLY good impersonation username wise, but this Imposter is not Kentry. I can't believe that I'm Kentry's enemy on the board and am standing up for him, but it had to be said." The other Posters saw the light after my Enemy pointed all of this out and they cussed out my Imposter, reported the disgusting posts, and ran him off the Website. His Imposter Account was soon deleted. :)

I am going back to Gulfstream Park Casino for Bingo tomorrow. :) I definitely will not be asking random people to play on my Player's Club Card after getting the 24 hour ban for doing that. ;) Permanently learned my lesson to not get greedy. One guaranteed bingo card is better than NO Bingo cards and a 24 hour ban. ;)

Nathan, why focus on bingo when there are other casino games offering a better return to player percentage?

True, baccarat can be expensive but craps could be affordable and both have a decent RTP.

Then again, what do I know? I started my gambling days with craps and over time have drifted to incorporate higher limit slots; I know the RTP sucks but I like the surfing the endorphins caused by conflicting feelings of fear, hope and greed with every bet.

Speaking of huge wins on literally less than 10 cents, a guy said something like,"My Mother had lost basically all of her money and had literally 3 cents left in credits. She played her 3 cents on Wicked Winnings and got a line of the She Devil and Ravens and won like $500 on her literally last 3 pennies. We were both happily shocked!" :D Onenicklemiracle said something like,"I got my username from the time I had literally was down to my last nickel. I played 1 line times 5 and the Top Symbol worth $100 came up in a row and I won $500 because I chose 5 times. I was happily shocked!" :D

But it's still one hell of a comeback, winning $500 on 3 cents and 5 cents. 😀

Just did some research on Wicked Winnings and a line of the She Devil and Ravens is 5000 credits which equals to $50 on a penny machine. So the woman either won $50.00 3 lines) or $150(1 line times 3) not $500, still a VERY good payout on a 3 cent bet. :D

Nope, I didn't make it up. A guy really did say his Mother got a line of the She Devil and Ravens on her last 3 cents and won big. :)

Strange things happen in gambling.

True story: I was playing $200 max spin while a lady played the same slot next to me for $5 a spin. We both won bonus rounds simultaneously. Everyone was more excited for me because I was betting $200 and not just $5.

Her game got three retrggers and a few all wilds spins while I got nearly nothing. My $200 spin won me circa $900 and she won $2000.

It was one of the most gut wrenching moments of slot play I have ever had. (Had I gotten all her spins instead I would have won about $80,000).

That was my worst losing day ever, BTW so it wasn't even an overall day where I could have some nice wins to alleviate that bonus spin debacle.

(And this was an advantage play on top of that being these were must hits combined with a multiplier freeplay day, 20x freeplay and still my worst day ever).

Nathan, I have a question.

Assume you have several "lucky numbers" and that you only want to play on cards that have ALL your "lucky numbers."

Can you sift through the proposed cards when you buy in and select only the ones that meet your criteria, or must you take what you are given without complaint?

It would have been more messed up if you had won. The odds were stacked against you. You were never likely to win. There were likely dozens of other players also waiting for one number, some waiting for the same number as you..

Well, I earned 4 Bingo cards, had a free Bingo card and I only won on ONE of them. Well, at least I won once. Shame I didn't win $500 in free play. I only won $100 in free play. Still better than nothing.. I am glad I won those 4 extra Bingo cards on my own merit, not relying on complete Strangers to get me the four extra Bingo cards.

I'm not sure how many people were in the Bingo game, but a few other people also complained that they needed only one number to win. Other people also had 3/4/5 cards and still lost. I'm lucky I got something back.

I have a question for you. I hope you will answer. You know I’ve made my feelings clear about why I think you should not be allowed here. I may have been rude at times. Certainly argumentative at least.

Did you ever feel I was ‘going after you’ because of your race, gender, or disability? I’ll ask you the same about BillyRyan.

I’m asking because Gordon has brought up these issues and to me, there never even was a hint of gender or racial overtones in his (or my!) posts.
