PAYOUTS AND TAX FORMS
Tournament payout software that carries every win to signature.
Payouts covers jackpot wins and tournament prizes. Staff identify the player, record the win and route it for approval. Taxes are calculated. The player signs digitally. W-2G forms are generated for qualifying payouts.
The problem.
A big win means the player waits while staff check ID, work out taxes, find an approver and fill in forms. On paper, a step gets skipped and nobody sees it until later.
How it works.
- 1
Record the win.
The payout manager creates the record, identifies the player and enters the win. Jackpot wins come in from Promotions & Jackpots. Tournament prizes are finalized from the payout slips.
- 2
Calculate the taxes.
Federal and state taxes are calculated from the payout amount and the IRS thresholds. The player's identity and tax details come from their membership record.
- 3
Route it for approval.
The payout moves from Pending to Approved to Completed. Each approver signs off before it goes forward, and every step records who and when.
- 4
Pay and document.
The player signs digitally and the cage pays out. A qualifying payout gets its W-2G. The signature and the player's ID photo stay with the record.
What you get.

W-2G forms are generated for qualifying payouts. W-9 and W-8BEN forms are managed for player tax identification.
TIN verification
Check a player's Tax Identification Number against IRS records before the payout goes through.

Included in the Professional plan.
What’s different.
- Every payout keeps a full record: who recorded it, who approved it, when it was paid and which forms were generated.
- It reads the same player database as the floor, the cage and tournaments. Identity and tax details are already there.
- Approvals follow roles. A payout cannot move forward until each approver signs off.
