Common Questions
What is MTL Day and why is it important?
MTL (Multi Transaction Log) Day refers to the gaming day for compliance tracking purposes. This designation is critical for regulatory compliance as it groups transactions for a single gaming day to monitor threshold reporting requirements, regardless of calendar day.
How far back can I see transaction history?
The system maintains a complete history of all transactions since the implementation of CardOpz. There is no automatic purging of transaction history, ensuring a comprehensive audit trail for both operational and compliance purposes.
Can I edit a transaction after it's been created?
Transaction details cannot be directly edited after creation to maintain audit integrity. If a transaction needs correction, the proper procedure is to void the incorrect transaction with appropriate documentation and create a new correct transaction.
How do I process a large cash transaction?
Large cash transactions follow the same basic procedure but require additional documentation including player appearance recording and possibly additional authorization based on your venue's policies. Ensure all compliance requirements are met when processing transactions near or above reporting thresholds.
