[vpFREE] Anyone filed Schedule C in Kansas?

 

I played in Kansas for the 1st time this year on a short-lived big play.  The state withholds a mandatory 4.5% from all W2G wins.  Before proceeding to play I researched their tax laws, and as of tax year 2012, Kansas allowed losses to be deducted against W2G wins.  In my experience, this is usually a good sign that there will be no/fewer issues with filing Schedule C and getting the appropriate amount of the withholding back.  I proceeded to play...and in one 6-hour session I racked up almost $58k in W2Gs.  The play was dead after that.

 

However...I just started filling out the forms for my non-resident KS return tonight to find that Schedule C income is not taxable in KS.  At first I was pleased, but then that raised a red flag.  I proceeded to look for info about the rules for gambling winnings on the KS Dept of Revenue website.  Low and behold, in during 2013, they made a new ruling stating that gambling losses could no longer be claimed against wins.  While this is not directly related to filing Schedule C, it does imply that getting any withholding back could prove very difficult.

 

So, I'm curious if anyone else has successfully filed on Schedule C and gotten any of their Kansas withholding back, or has had a similar situation in a different state.  If you'd prefer, send a private message to v_p_player@yahoo.com

Re: [vpFREE] mystery multiplyer at coast

 

Maybe someone can answer this. If you were to go to another Boyd property on the same day, could you get another bonus multiplier or would you just get a "normal" tier level bonus?  Guess I'm trying to say would that 60k max bonus apply across all Boyd properties as a daily max, or just to a specific property.

Subject: [vpFREE] mystery multiplyer at coast

 
On Wednesday I got the 50x on slots and 30x on vp at Sams Town for the mystery swipe. Very excited
everyone else I talked to the best they received was 5x for vp. Played the first 1000 points pulled my card
to check if I received the 30x and it was on the card. Played out the balance of my 10000pts for the day
and checked my card and found that only had 7x on my play for the day. Went to the rewards and asked
why my total was off. Said it was maybe delayed because of the size of the multiplyer. Checked the next
day on the Bconnect web site and nothing changed. Went in today ask at the rewards desk why I hadn't
received all my bonus points. Lady didn't know why not so went to talk to her supervisor. She came out
and told me that the maximum amount of bonus points anyone can receive is 60,000 or 7x on 10,000 pts
earned. She also said that I received 30x on the first 2,334 pts which amounted to the maximum bonus
points you can earn in any bonus multiplyer. So I played 7,666 points with no bonus. Has anyone else
had this problem or even come across it. Not very happy with the outcome. Any suggestions.

It may be legally right, but it aint right, if you know what I mean.


Was in town at the various Boyd properties when this mystery multiplier bogusness started (at Suncoast between Christmas and New Year's).  I always got 7x points, but did not think to check the fine print.  They have very flashy signs--win up to 50x...don't remember any fine print, but I'm sure it was there. So what the boothling said was, if you play for any decent length of time at all, the multiplier "won" doesn't really matter at all with regards to how many points you will accumulate--you'll be screwed by the 10,000 limit on all VP multipliers, or you'll be screwed out of the bonus on your tier level, or you'll be screwed out of this multiplier's fine print.  


I know Bob Dancer reads these pages; seems like a good topic of discussion for Gambling with an Edge, because Boyd sure dulled our "edges" with this one.


Good thing I left town before I got "lucky" and hit 50X--think I might have snapped if they tried to shaft me like this. And I "WAS" one of Boyd's biggest proponents.

As a follow up, you must swipe your card at a kiosk BEFORE you play to get any bonus multiplier.

Being set in my ways (translation: old), I forgot to swipe at the Gold Coast until I earned almost 3,000 points. The booth was very adamant about not making any adjustments.

Good to know for future reference...sorry it happened to you. I would have done the exact same thing you did.

Assuming that you are at the Emerald level, do you know if you received the 3x points for the 7,666 points earned that was not eligible for 30x points?

Thanks,
Don the Dentist

Thanks for the entertaining link -- which, incidentally, does not support the factual basis of the five second rule for dropped food :)  I was certainly sad to see that!

Plus playing video poker is high stress, you make a mistake and it comes right out of your pocket, if you make a mistake at a fast food restaurant you still have 5 seconds to pick it up off the floor.

My only suggestion is to always go to the rewards desk AHEAD of time and ask if there are any catches / limits / etc. -- and, ideally, get the response in writing.

There are, far too often, conditions and fine print on offers - and not just from casinos.  "Free" often means "free if you spend $$ on something else" - that's one we all commonly see.

Buyer beware in general - and especially with casinos, remember who we're dealing with.  They seem to specialize in offers with conditions (often, multipliers don't apply to VP at all, only the other slots).

Try going into a restaurant or store with a "second one free" offer and ordering or trying to buy 10 "second ones" :)
