    Iirc, only if the win is over $600 and the wager paid 300 to 1 or more.

    Yes, this is correct. They'll file a CTR if you're talking more than $10k, but that's basically meaningless paperwork which goes into the circular file. Really the only way to hit the W-2G threshold is if you hit a 9-team (or more) parlay, or a few other wagers.

    EDIT: This just applies to the W-2G. Vegas follows federal rules. However, other states have much lower thresholds and there may be implications depending on where you are, such as having them do a child support intercept check, which could go to the IRS.

    I got audited in 2018 for 2015 taxes as a direct result of CTRs from Vegas. Not from the sports book though.
