WHY? The intent of Title 31 is to discourage criminals involved with laundering money (either from drug transactions or other deceitful and illegal acts) or attempting to evade income tax reporting by using banks and other financial institutions in the United States and Puerto Rico.

WHAT'S REQUIRED? At Prairie Wind Casino, aggregated cash transactions of $1,200 or more must be reported. So, if you win big, you'll be asked to provide: name, address (proof of address), occupation, social security card, and driver's license number or valid government phote identification.

All of this will ensure that in your dealings with the government, you can verify the source of these funds as legal wagering, rather than from any questionable activity.

And, of course, it protects Prairie Wind Casino by creating a verifiable record of all such transactions.

WHY CASINOS? Casinos, by their very nature, have a great deal of money on hand. Because of this, they are vulnerable to money launderers. Thus, gaming industry compliance with Title 31 became necessary in the United States and Puerto Rico.

With the subsequent expansion of gaming, including Indian gaming, has come expansion of the requirement for Title 31 compliance, which now applies to all landbased and riverboat operations, as well as all Tribal casinos.
