What is a Win/Loss Statement?

A Las Vegas Casino Win/Loss statement is an estimate of what an individual casino customer won or lost during a calendar year based on the player tracking information.

As far as tax documents go, a win/loss statement is one of the most important communications you had with the casinos you frequent and a very important document your tax professional will need.

The Win/Loss (Tax) Statement you will receive from your casino merely provides an unverified estimate of your slot and table game win/loss that you can use to compare to your own records and is not a substitute for the records you are required to keep under applicable State and Federal tax laws.

For information on your tax record keeping obligations, contact a reputable tax professional or go to www.irs.gov and use the search term 'gambling losses.'

Note: It's your responsibility to request a win/loss statement. Don't expect your casino to send it to you automatically.

How to read a Win/Loss Statement

What information is included on my Win/Loss (Tax) Statement?< br />Your Win/Loss statement is the total estimated dollar amount you have won or lost at a casino for certain recorded gaming activities. It's important to mention that this is an Estimated Statement and knowing how to read win loss statement is important.

1 The Win Loss Statement you receive from your Las Vegas casino is not a substitute for the records you are required to keep under applicable State and Federal tax laws. This is merely a statement that you can use to compare to your own records.
2 Your losses will be shown as negative amounts and will be reflected with parentheses.
3 Only the play recorded while using your players rewards card is included in these totals
4 Your win/loss information will include unverified, estimated slot and table game wins and losses, but does not include other wins or losses such as race and sports book wins and losses, poker wins and losses, keno wins and losses, slot tournament wins and losses, or giveaway party prizes.
5 The formula to estimate your net slot win/loss is calculated by taking total coin paid out of the machines, plus jackpots paid by hand currency, less total coin deposited into the machines as recorded while using your players rewards card.
6 The method to estimate your table game win/loss is done by a manual rating of your table game play that you have requested which is based on hands dealt per hour and average bet. Note: This information does not constitute a complete and accurate accounting record, but merely provides an unverified estimate of your slot and table game win/loss.
