What Caesars issues, and when

A casino issues a Form W-2G at the machine or table for a jackpot at or above the reporting threshold ($2,000 for slots, bingo and keno in 2026), card in or not, and the IRS receives a copy. Its win/loss statement covers only play tracked on a players club card.

Separately, Caesars provides an annual win/loss statement of play tracked on the players club account, by property, usually with the W-2G total shown separately. [1] Statements for the prior year are available the first week of February. Caesars Rewards Local properties issue them in person at the Rewards Center; a Gaming History Request Form is also attached to the help article for anyone without online access.

How to get the statement

Sign in to Caesars Rewards, choose Win/Loss Statement, accept the terms and click Generate.

  1. Sign in to your Caesars Rewards account at caesars.com.
  2. Choose "Win/Loss Statement".
  3. Accept the terms and click Generate. It can take up to 30 seconds and opens in a new window, so allow pop-ups.
  4. Save the PDF for your preparer. The last five years are available.

The request asks for your signature.

These steps were read from Caesars' own page on 09-05-2026. [1] Operators move these pages; if a step no longer matches, the help page is the place to start.

What the statement shows, and what it does not

The statement is a summary of play tracked on your players club card. Cash play without the card is not on it and cannot be added later; a casino has no record of it. If you played at Caesars without a card, the only record of those losses is your own log. It usually carries a note that it is an estimate and not a tax document. The IRS asks for a contemporaneous diary supported by records such as statements and tickets; the statement supports the diary rather than replacing it. [2] [3]

Read it with the W-2Gs. A W-2G reports one reportable win and the IRS already holds a copy; the statement reports the net of the year's play. The two measure different things and are expected to disagree, and a return has to show how they fit. The reconciliation page walks through it.
