Follow one record from casino floor to accountant.

One button moves you through each step. Nothing is saved, purchased, or shared while you explore.

01 · Floor scanner

Photograph the machine.

Floor scanner opens the full-height camera with a vertical guide and one photo button. Opening it does not start play. Machines, receipts, tickets, W-2Gs and rewards use the same camera; unclear readings wait for review after play.

Less administration. More control.

Planned additions extend the camera, Creator Studio and accountant handoff. These services are not active yet; business account setup, verification and your permission come first.

Document reading
Receipts, W-2Gs and statements. A second reading stays attached to the source; conflicts need review.
Bank reconciliation
Read-only business and bankroll feeds. Receipt-match suggestions only. Withdrawals are not machine buy-ins; transfers are not income.
Cloud video rendering
Edits rendered from copies of vault footage. Originals remain unchanged. Outputs are drafts, never automatically published.
Transcript editing
Speech-to-text and caption drafts. Review the transcript and edit ranges before exporting.
Consented narration
Narration for creator videos. Voice authorization is required separately; no inferred permission to clone a person.
Closeout assistant
Read-only preparation from sealed records. Flags gaps and drafts review notes; never edits, seals or decides tax treatment.

Player. Accountant. Creator.

One next step at every stage.

For the professional slot player

Photos, cash, free play and carried balances stay in machine order. Transferred money is not counted as a new deposit. During play, Floor Mode records only. Each change to an open session is backed up to your account shortly after you make it, and AI checks photo readability and compares a number-tag close-up with the machine photo; conflicting readings wait for after-play review. The same camera files receipts and ATM slips to the trip without touching your win or loss.

For the accountant

Photo-linked ledger entries keep gambling, creator expenses and bankroll separate. Evidence checks flag missing links and repeated expense photos. An optional AI preparation review cites source records, without changing amounts or deciding deductions. Share only the access you choose; corrections preserve the original history.

For the creator

Filming? One switch tags the session for content. Content income and costs stay separate from gambling. Document each shared-cost split and prepare separate creator schedules for your CPA.

The Floor · The Desk · The Firm

Film the trip. Keep two sets of books. Hand both to your CPA.

Creator Desk turns floor footage into a business record: stored privately, fingerprinted on arrival, and kept apart from your gambling results.

Private media vault
Keep clips and photos private with a SHA-256 fingerprint and dated business note. Uploads currently support files up to 500 MB; larger footage requires the site's storage connection, within your plan's remaining space.
Creator Studio
Trim local footage, edit English captions and export a new clip. Type time-based instructions for an AI trim suggestion, then review and apply. Automatic scene editing, blur and audio cleanup remain planned; direct YouTube uploads require connection setup.
Community recaps
Patreon and Discord recap cards that leave out bankroll, money figures and personal notes.
Two sets of books
Content income and production costs go to creator schedules; session results stay gambling records. Neither nets against the other.

The $2,000 Rule, Worked Through

Same session total. Opposite tax result.

Spin run+$640
Bonus round+$880
Spin run+$410
Bonus round+$520

Session total

$2,450

Largest single win

$880

Not a W-2G event

The session cleared $2,450, but no single spin reached $2,000. Nothing here is reportable as a handpay — trackers that flag the session total get this wrong.

The 2026 Rules, In Plain Terms

Same break-even year. One of them owes tax.

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, only 90 percent of wagering losses are deductible — and never more than your winnings. Congress made the change in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (§70114, amending IRC §165(d)). The other ten percent is gone for good, win or lose.

Winnings for the year$100,000
Losses for the year$100,000
Deductible losses$90,000

Taxed on $10,000 you never kept

You broke even, but only 90 percent of the losses offset the winnings. The remaining $10,000 is taxed as income anyway — sometimes called phantom income. It happens to net losers too.

What did not change

  • · Every dollar of winnings is taxable income, with or without a W-2G.
  • · Losses still only offset winnings — never your salary or other income — and nothing carries forward to next year.
  • · If you take the standard deduction, losses deduct nothing at all. The record only pays when you itemize.
  • · Players who qualify as professionals file on Schedule C, but wagering expenses fold into the same loss limit — and the 90 percent applies to them too.

Why the record decides the outcome now

Under the old rules, a missing receipt cost you the argument. Under the new ones, it costs you arithmetic: $100,000 of documented losses cuts the taxable figure by $90,000. The same losses, undocumented, cut nothing. The IRS expects losses to be substantiated as they happen — a contemporaneous log of dates, properties, amounts and results, backed by tickets and statements. That is exactly what a sealed session in this app is.

Still settling

Treasury has proposed regulations (REG-113229-25) implementing the 90 percent limit alongside the new $2,000 slot-machine W-2G threshold; comments closed in June 2026 and the details may be refined before final. Thresholds and computations below are the law as published — the app flags them by tax year and cites its sources on every screen.

The plain caveats

  • · This is general information about public law, not tax, legal or accounting advice, and no attorney-client or CPA relationship is created by reading it.
  • · We make no promise or guarantee of any tax result, savings or deduction. A good record supports a filing position; it never guarantees one.
  • · The figures above are simplified federal examples. They ignore your bracket, itemization, state rules (some states net winnings and losses differently) and everything else on your return.
  • · Rules are current as of September 2026 and can change. Confirm your situation with a licensed CPA or tax attorney before you file.

Privacy, In Detail

Your play is nobody else's business

Kept on your phone only

  • · The running session clock and your last machine, so a dropped signal never loses your place
  • · Sessions logged with no signal, held on the device until it syncs
  • · Your Test Mode and tax-rate preferences

Stored on your private account

  • · Sessions, expenses, bankroll entries, player-card captures and win/loss statements
  • · Your email address and plan status
  • · Screen photos you capture are kept with the sealed session as audit evidence, readable only by you

Never shared

  • · No public leaderboard or community pool; only people you explicitly authorize can see permitted records
  • · Nothing is sold, and no casino or loyalty program receives your log
  • · Exports and professional access are created only when you request or approve them, and can be revoked

Deleting your history

  • · Reverse a mistaken sealed session without erasing its original audit history
  • · The reversal reason and time remain visible, and the verification chain stays intact
  • · Ask for full account deletion any time and everything tied to it goes with it
