Question: Why don't casino ATMs have "deposit" buttons to bank one's winnings on the spot or at least return the "junk

[Backseat Driver]

fees" designed to curb ill-advised withdrawals??? My daughter, bless her heart, took me to the casino and spotted my play $100 for my birthday. We stopped at the bank ATM beforehand and withdrew some cash; no problem. Headed out for a couple hours of leisure fun!

Code in Ohio requires familial financial responsibility. Hahaha...but the State hardly ever enforces the rule. So I played, I won some and returned her monetary birthday spot in cash. Decided to get a few extra bucks from my account to play a bit longer as there was ample funds for at least another hour's fun. I'm not starving, after all. Guess what, the casino ATM declined my transaction...went to the cashier cage...declined there also. Called my bank...got transferred to fraud dept who explained they had flagged the account??? when there was sufficient funding to cover even the "junk fees." They asked for lots of info to verify my use, then removed the flag...Long story short, I did lose it but had a ball. (The grandkid always gets the change from the wins fpr his piggy bank. It amounted to about $5).

1. You can't deposit at remote ATMs

The only way you could deposit is if you banked at Wells Fargo, for example, and it was a Wells Fargo ATM.

2. Because it's a function that would rarely be used?

3. Probably automated fraud protection

If you'd never withdrawn funds from a casino ATM before (or recently), their fraud protection probably kicked in. Happens to us fairly often when we travel, because we infrequently travel. Any transaction that's outside of your usual spending or withdrawal pattern can kick up a flag.

5. Simple. They don't want you to deposit your winnings. They want it to burn a hole in your pocket.
