Have stayed at RW since Day 1. Always had a wonderful experience. Out of left field I received a letter 2 days after my most recent trip (a winning one finally, too) that I was trespassed.

I wasn't AP (mostly baccarat), had no incidents with security and left the property with my host fully comping off my bill. The letter came from "legal and compliance," but I've had nothing in my past - either legally or with other casinos - that would lead to seem to be a trigger for such a ban.

So the compliance department has been nothing but cold and dismissive when I've politely reached out. Does anyone have suggestions as to the best course of action? Is it worth hiring a lawyer to try to negotiate lifting the ban on my behalf?

You need to air everything all your laundry dirty and clean if you want a meaningful response.

Are you a cash or credit player. Start there. And explain exactly where your money comes from. When you lose how do you pay them? When you win how do you cash chips / withdraw funds / and with what frequency withdrawals and what sort of dollar amounts. Cash or check withdrawals?

If you’re not willing to air all that and more no one here may offer more than guesses.
I tell you it’s wonderful to be here, man. I don’t give a damn who wins or loses. It’s just wonderful to be here with you people. https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/betting-systems/33908-the-adventures-of-mdawg/

I'm happy to answer any questions! I am a cash player, almost exclusively use my personal debit cards as a way to self-budget (since they have a daily limit).

If I lose, that's that unless I do another buy in using a card.

If I win, I'll either get cash immediately or get a check. On the most recent trip, I had two winning sessions over 5 days. On the largest win, I had planned to leave LV so I took the cash to the bank and deposited it so I wasn't traveling with it. At the last second, we stayed an extra night, so I did a final card advance and lost that.

Have you left anything, or evidence of anything, in a guest room?

Have you done any buying or selling of... materials... on their property, or were you with anyone who has?

Nope, nothing like that.

The exact language from the letter was "Resorts World Las Vegas (the “Company) has conducted a review of your gaming activities and transactions..."

I only use my personal debit cards. My only thought is that it instead of like 1 $15K transaction, there's 3 transactions totaling that amount, because I'd rather keep money in the bank if things go well.

You were asked not to return to the property at all?

Everyone I know who has had trouble there has been asked not to gamble, but they have been told they can eat and stay at the property.

Can you block out your name and personal info and post up the letter sent to you?

The verbiage of the letter and where it came from implies an AML violation or issue ("compliance''). Normally, that would simply bar you from gaming not from the property entirely.

However, keep in mind that RW Vegas has had mucho problemos lately with allegations and fines for allowing people with booking convictions who should not be gaming to game, and with alleged AML violations.

https://www.moneylaunderingnews.com/2024/08/nevada-gaming-control-board-alleges-casino-aml-failures-based-on-wagering-of-customers-involved-in-illegal-bookmaking/

Right now all of the casinos are paranoid about AML issues. You got caught up in that. The cash and other transactions you describe seem harmless, but somehow Compliance is unhappy with something about you or your activity.

I predict that not only will you get nowhere with getting reinstated, but as well you will never get a clear answer as to exactly what the issue is. And if you push enough, it is very remotely possible but unlikely that they might convince other properties to ban you as well.

OK, then it's probably a "structuring" or money laundering suspicion. Who knows why?

I have a friend who received basically the same letter about 3 months ago, he had just been excluded from MGM properties for a compliance issue. He had only played at Resorts two times and for insignificant amounts. The casinos are really getting paranoid about the AML regulations.

And yet you still have someone like A.Wolf not comprehending what an easy winning wager for me this was I proposed to him.

Quote: MDawg

The fact that you say that, shows me how little you know about how casinos work.

How about if you go deposit $9000. cash at the cage at Wynn, go play a few hands of whatever, such that your win or loss is in the hundreds of dollars only, and then go back to the cage and get one check for the entire withdrawal - the $9000. plus or minus the few hundred.

If you can do that, I'll give you $25,000.

If you cannot, you will give me $25,000.

At least you should know what you need to do or not do to even get the cage to accept your money. But you won't get a check for other than the few hundred you might win, no matter what.

A check will never be issued for other than verified winnings, or for return of non-cash deposit. Until you understand that, waste of time to debate with you.

I'll leave this Challenge offer open until tomorrow. If you accept it we can figure out how to police it, but we really need little policing because you cannot get it done.


And for a credit only player like me, any check I get is for winnings only. Simple.

As to the one about the $9,000 and getting a check, I think Mdawg is right on that one. There are strict regulations against laundering cash for checks and the Vegas casinos I find are strict about following them, to varying degrees. I would like to bet on Mdawg's side of that challenge.

Show me where I ever said I could go to the Wynn and get it done? Please quote what I said I can do, and then see if you and Mike want to take that bet. And later on, weren't you advised not to take the bet? If so, why were you advised not to? Or was that something else?

If I say I can do something, I can, but I'm not letting you dictate when where, and how I can or can't do something.

Didn't you say that casinos never tell you they are CTR'ing you or give you or ever physical proof?

Do you need me to show you 500 other similar examples from CC?

Anyway, so as not to be suspended for hijacking, I think the 3 $5000 cash outs could easily ‘look’ like structuring. And my money is on that being the reason for the 86. But as a few have mentioned, we’ll likely never know.

It’s the only thing he remember doing and tbh, people should be able to do whatever it is they want with the paper they own, but it doesn’t matter how much it is - from my understanding of the situation - but the amount of money being spent in a period of time is what causes the casinos to have to file their AML reports. So it for sure is an amount of money, and to me the amount of time the money was spent in, AND the fact that he did it in 3 smaller amounts but still ended up spending his normal amount anyways, I would consider it to be an outlier data wise that someone or anyone can determine to be suspicious. Man I suck at run on sentences.

Plus this guy has a host meaning he’s practically a recreational player. They know him well.

Were these cards in your name sir?

When someone quotes my Challenge in its entirety and replies, "How about I get a check from the casino" that means he thinks he can do it. Unless of course he's just talking or hasn't even read it (even though he just quoted it!) and has no intention of following through,



the way you offered to buy Wizard's watch sight unseen, qualified it later repeatedly including with "if it's a good deal," then backed out.

FIRST,


THEN,


then backed out....

P.S. Even when you make an unconditional offer you ask questions ("What's the value of the watch?") - that sort of thing makes me sick, when people make offers THEN ask questions. Questions should be asked first, before an offer is made.

In business if someone makes an offer to me and then asks a question after doing so, I will never take such a person seriously again.
