I have requested a $18k bank wire from Bookmaker to my Bank Account.
My question is..Will the Bank guys get suspicious of the money source?  Is there a limit on amount I can recieve through wire transfer?

Your replies are greatly appreciated guys

the bank guys won't care about the 18k...everything is automated....as far as red flags....i have yet to hear anybody have a problem....you can always say that you are breaking even...so taxes shouldn't be an issue.

It will NOT be a red flag. I don't know why people insist on giving false information. There is absolutely no way to get out of the reach of the IRS...just pay your taxes.

FYI, it is not illegal to bet online, it is illegal for these websites to give you a website to bet on. There is a difference. You'll be fine

False. Any abnormal deposit is reviewed by the bank, if they see it as suspicious they can report it to the Chex Systems which is a Credit Agency that 80% of consumer and commerical banks use to monitor deadbeats and criminals.

IMO unless you are making $150k a year then an 18k check is guarnteed to be reviewed by your depositing bank. It might not result in anything but it will still be reviewed.

Just to clarify for everyone else the 10k or greater is just on cash deposits, any cash deposit over 10k the financial insitution has to fill out a CTR and you will have to fill out an IRS form 8300.

Well that is what I am referring to....unless you are trying to evade taxes you will have no issues. But I'm not sure why you would try to evade them. Whether you chop it up in 2k portions or get a 18k lumpsum the IRS will see it and will expect taxes on it

Thanks for the info.. That brings me to the tax question..
When filing tax returns, Should I file it as Gambling Income?

18k wire is going to raise flags. Now I don't know that anything will come of it, but they will review it.

banks are always suspicious...
because they dont want to get robbed.
so if u never make 18k then dont
start a history by making small dep.
then u can make a big one without raising any red flags
