You can get in trouble for switching seats, but it is very unlikely, and the casino will file a SAR if they know you switched seats. If they know who was playing ten that person will get it. The casino is required to give the tax form to the player playing the game.
You could get in trouble for downloading freeplay from someone else's card but unlikely the casino will prosecute for theft.
If the casino knows what you are doing they can exclude both of you from the players club or ask you not to come back to the casino. You are not going to get into any real trouble using someone else's card to accumulate points. What happens if I am playing with somebody else's players card and I hit a hand pay jackpot? Will that get me into trouble? Can I just remove the player's card before the slot tech comes to pay me?Īlso, what happens if I fund another player, and they are playing next to me with their card inserted, and they hit a hand pay jackpot? Can we just switch seats really quick before the slot crew goes to pay, despite it being someone else that has their card inserted and playing? I don't know the legality of this.
