[vpFREE] Re: Anyone filed Schedule C in Kansas?

 

Just closing the loop on this discussion. I filed Schedule C in Kansas for 2013, which triggered a request for some additional basic information from the Kansas Department of Revenue (copy of federal return, proof of Kansas withholding, and proof of adjustments to Kansas income). I received a return check shortly thereafter however it was less than what was requested on my return. I called them and discussed with an agent, and he quickly realized the error on their part. They sent me a report on the correction, an additional check for the difference plus interest on the full amount that they should have returned to me in the first place! By far the best service I've gotten from any state's DOR or the IRS in similar tax reviews. That being said, with 2014 being the first year disallowing losses to be deducted against wins for recreational gamblers, it would be interesting to know whether it would've played out the same for this year....unfortunately I'll never know since as I mentioned, the play is dead. If anyone plays and files schedule c in Kansas in the future, I'd be curious to hear if it is handled the same way. -V

Re: [vpFREE] 4 Queens

 

Another possibility, of course, is that the casino's valuation of your play has changed. This might not be, and probably is not, directed specifically at you.

If a casino reevaluates their "theo" the same amount of play is proportionately less valuable, hence worth fewer or lesser comps. In a glaring example, a few years ago, Mohegan Sun reduced its theo by 70%, so a $1000 daily player became a $300 player. Obviously comps and bennies plummeted as a result, tier levels changed. Unfortunately what followed was still worse, as all of the best VP machines were either eliminated or excluded from earning ANY club points whatsoever.

I'm not familiar with the 4 Queens, and wouldn't presume to speculate any further. But it would be interesting to know if other players have suffered the same fate.

The problem is possibly that your play hasn't changed. If you haven't had a raise in 10 years I'd be surprised. The casinos are looking for a raise. I've noticed that some of my offers have been reduced over the past year. I'm raising my play in the hope that my offers will go back to their previous levels.
It seems to me that it is just normal price increases, the same as gas or anything else.

We have been going to 4 Queens for 10 years. Our latest offer doesn't offer any free rooms unless we buy 1 night first. This is the first time this has happened.
 
Our play has not changed.
 
Can't understand why they are treating loyal players like this. We have lots of offers from other casinos, so guess we won't be staying there anymore.
