Threshold Reporting

Compliance

The regulatory requirement to file reports when financial transactions exceed specified monetary thresholds. The most common threshold report is the CTR, required for currency transactions exceeding $10,000 in aggregate during a gaming day. Casinos may establish lower internal thresholds (e.g., $3,000 or $5,000) for logging and monitoring purposes to ensure they can identify potential structuring activity. Threshold reporting is a foundational component of casino AML compliance and is supplemented by suspicious activity reporting which has no minimum threshold.
