thanks, I figured it would be something like that.  There is someone trying to organize a slot pull and they are insisting that they MUST withhold 24% of any winnings to cover taxes.  I didn't think that sounded correct.  

 

The answer to that is...don't join in if that bothers you.

I have friends who are Canadian residents and US casinos hold back 30% of the jackpot if they win.  I'm not sure if the ship does the same.  But somehow I think I recall one of them saying that NCL did do that.  Then they have to send in a non-resident tax form with proof from win/loss statements in America to get some of the money back.
24% isn't bad.  I am taxed at a higher rate than that.

Hi there!

Just wondering if you still had a copy of the spreadsheet for slot pulls. I'm trying to organize one for this March and this would be super helpful!

Thank you 🙂

I got your email, I sent it over, good luck with your slot pull!

Hi from Oz.  Im organizing a slot pull and would love a copy of your spreadsheet.  My email is jmulhall9@bigpond.com

thanks so much for all your help.  Do you know as a non US on a NCL cruise, is it okay for me to use my card in the machine or do I still pay the taxes. (if we win ??)   Thanks again.
