How do I get my Boyd Gaming win/loss statement and W-2G forms?

By the W2gMatch team · Sources checked 09-11-2026 · General information, not tax advice.

Boyd Rewards win/loss statements and W-2Gs are requested through the property's gaming forms page or the Boyd Rewards desk. Boyd Gaming's help page is the authority for the exact menu names. The statement covers play tracked on your players club card; W-2Gs for reportable wins come separately, and the IRS already holds a copy of each.

What Boyd Gaming issues, and when

A casino issues a Form W-2G at the machine or table for a jackpot at or above the reporting threshold ($2,000 for slots, bingo and keno in 2026), card in or not, and the IRS receives a copy. Its win/loss statement covers only play tracked on a players club card.

Separately, Boyd Gaming provides an annual win/loss statement of play tracked on the players club account, by property, usually with the W-2G total shown separately. [1] Tax forms are issued by January 31 for the prior year; the annual statement usually follows in early February.

How to get the statement

Boyd Rewards win/loss statements and W-2Gs are requested through the property's gaming forms page or the Boyd Rewards desk.

  1. Open the gaming forms page for the Boyd property you played at, or sign in to your Boyd Rewards account and look for Win/Loss.
  2. Complete and sign the win/loss request form if the property uses one.
  3. Submit it as the form directs, or bring it to the Boyd Rewards desk with photo ID.
  4. Save it for your preparer.

The request asks for your signature.

These steps are the common route through Boyd Gaming's account pages and have not been checked against its help page on a set date; the help page is the authority. [1]

If you cannot sign in

Boyd Gaming also takes requests by a request form on the operator's site. [1] Allow two to four weeks for a mailed statement.

What the statement shows, and what it does not

The statement is a summary of play tracked on your players club card. Cash play without the card is not on it and cannot be added later; a casino has no record of it. If you played at Boyd Gaming without a card, the only record of those losses is your own log. It usually carries a note that it is an estimate and not a tax document. The IRS asks for a contemporaneous diary supported by records such as statements and tickets; the statement supports the diary rather than replacing it. [2] [3]

Read it with the W-2Gs. A W-2G reports one reportable win and the IRS already holds a copy; the statement reports the net of the year's play. The two measure different things and are expected to disagree, and a return has to show how they fit. The reconciliation page walks through it.

When is the Boyd Gaming statement for last year available?

Tax forms are issued by January 31 for the prior year, and the annual statement usually follows in early February. If it is not there by mid-February, ask support for it by name and tax year.

Does Boyd Gaming have a record of my play if I did not use a players club card?

No. A casino's win/loss statement is built from play tracked on a players club account. Play without the card is anonymous to the casino and cannot be reconstructed. Jackpots at or above the W-2G threshold are still reported, card or no card. For uncarded play your own session log is the only record of the losses.

Is the Boyd Gaming win/loss statement enough for my return?

Not on its own. The IRS asks for a contemporaneous diary of winnings and losses supported by records, and the statement is one of those records. Statements from every operator you used, the W-2Gs and 1099s, and your own log together let a preparer show winnings, show losses, and explain every difference between the documents and the forms the IRS matched.
