[vpFREE] [acvpp] Re: REPORTING GAMING ON INCOME TAX

 

Ralph,

Your $2000 W-2G should reduce your refund by $500 or $300 not $25 if you are in the 25% or 15% bracket. If you itemize and you lost money on VP your refund should not change. The only way your refund should be $25 less is if your itemized deductions before gambling losses were just about $1900 less than the standard deduction threshold. That seems unlikely, so perhaps you made a mistake on your amended return.

It is nice to see you and other gamblers paying income tax on a hobby that is costing you money. You should become a hedge fund manager like Mr Paulson who made several billion on the housing collapse and several billion again on gold without paying any taxes.

"Taxes are for the little people" Leona Helmsley

Good Luck,

Chris

Re: [vpFREE] Re: Advantage and REWARDS

 

I gave them practically no play for a long period of time. That is why my offers were reduced. However I gave them 6 figure coin in for a loooong time. They are just cheap bastards when it comes to local vp players,

Ralph,

I play $1 JoB at the Borg and get free rooms Sun-Fri. They even offered me a suite once last year. I lost $4,250 in 2010 partially due to my overnight stay in that suite. My bonus slot dollar offers are usually around $40, the same as my wife who plays penny slots. I am a Black Label card holder thanks to my Diamond status with Harrahs er ah Caesars. I too am a local.

I get those rooms on weekdays if I choose. But I am a local so I go very infrequently. After loosing 6000 dollars there last year and putting through at least 250000 I am getting some five dollar offers. Can you top that.

[vpFREE] By Your Command

 

You asked me to see what I could do to bring back good progressives. Your requests did not fall on deaf ears.

Bob & I have begun the process and things are looking very hopeful.

How does a 3% meter on a 97% return game sound??? Good...well it's better than that.

Please keep your fingers crossed and we'll give you all heads up when it's a for sure thing.

Sorry 'bout that! :)

Scot,

You sure about 2x points at South Point on April 24th? As I was collecting
the last of our gas cards this morning I mentioned the fact that the 24th
was double points. The slot club knew nothing but since I usually don't
make mistakes they made a call and told me that their boss said there was NO
double points in April because of half price gas cards.

Can you verify please?

[vpFREE] Re: Golden Nugget offer

 

Well, here's the catch. The freeplay is broken down into thirds. You get 1/3 when you check in. The other 2/3rds have a play requirement. They are not accepting Aria offers and some others. Palms is okay. Play requirement example- $500 Palms offer, $250 when you check in, 7500 points you get another $250, another 7500 points, $250.

[vpFREE] Golden Nugget offer

 

I received a great offer from the Golden Nugget to match 1 1/2 times an offer from another casino, free slot play, promo chips, cash, or shopping offer. It says "tell your friends and we'll honor their other casino offers too". Call Julie Hall 800-777-4658, ext. 8302.
I have not played there for years and do not know if they even have anything playable but if you have a good offer from another casino it's a no brainer (I think). I have not received a call back yet to see if there are any catches.
