Want to gamble without them watchdogs flagging your play as shady? Here the scoop...

Keep that cash in check. Don't overdo them deposits or withdrawals, especially if they seem way outta whack for how much action you actually seeing. Big bills passing through is a rouse, for sure.

Do some actual play. Don't just accumulate chips or you looking mighty suspicious. Put them chips to use at them tables so your balances adding up. Losses here and there seem legit. Minimal action not so much.

Mix up them games too. Don't camp at just one table or machine for hours. Move around between blackjack, slots, poker, craps. Looks more like regular fun than strategically minimizing where your funds go.

Buy more than just chips sometimes. Get a cocktail, snack, souvenir. Non-cash prizes or gear mask the urge to just keep chips as chips. Proves you there to enjoy all the experience, not just move money.

Take a walk now and then. Let your chips sit for a bit while you off the floor. Come back renewed. Leaving and re-entering breaks up any perception of obsessive focus. Makes it clear recreation, not an agenda.

Know the limits. Stay just under each threshold to avoid triggers. But too close suspicious in itself. Some minor leakage OK but obviously trying too hard to avoid alerts raises eyebrows.

Use personal funds when able. With ATMs, checks, transfers and such supplementing cash it seems a legit mix of personal and winnings versus just cash. Verifies the source so less like pure laundering since some is traceable.

Watch ID use too. Don't just use one form of ID for every cash/chip transaction. Government-issue photo, cards, checks - mix it up. Otherwise seems deliberately obstructive or like setting up anonymous use. Multiple IDs appear normal.

Leave some tips in cash and card. Coins and bills for drinks/food too. Establishes you a customer there to enjoy, not just move money. Tips and other small spending add a well-rounded experience.

Give off that relaxed vibe. Act like you belong and having fun. Because you do! Nervousness, secreting valuables or repeated location changes noticeably suspicious. Assimilating into the general din of gamblers content with their day reassures all is well.

They watching. Best not draw extra eyes. But some play is expected. So follow these tips, keep that cash in line, include all the normal spending and losing and you'll gam-gam with the best of 'em! No financial watchdogs barking at your play with these easy rules. Enjoy and good luck!
