These days if you're playing a machine with a known overlay, you should probably decline tracking, just as you should probably decline tracking at a table game where you know there is an overlay, due to card flashing or whatever. The problem is that the penalty for getting tracked probably way exceeds the small rewards you can get off the card. Also there's the issue of taxes. Even if you're not generating W2G's, if you're getting tracked you might just get an audit when you thought you could fly under the radar. Of course if you're generating W2G's or SAR's, then you are getting tracked anyway. W2G's kick in at $1200 payoffs, SAR's are undefined but certainly at $10k accumulated and if they suspect you of "structuring" at any amount. You might consider getting a good accountant and a good lawyer beforehand, ones experienced in gambling issues. Jean Scott has talked about her accountant, and numerous lawyers have appeared on the GWAE radio show.
