It is not unheard of for casino operators to remit jackpot winners their huge winnings in the form of periodic payment annuities that are spread over a number of years.
Swept away by the ecstasy that comes after hitting the big one, casino winners often forget to read the fine print that explains the details on how they get paid.
Some time after the casino executives have verified and confirmed their big win, they begin to realize little by little that they would be getting relatively small periodic payments over many years. Though such a setup may seem like a buzzkill to winners who’ve already made plans on how to use their money, they do have options.
Casino winnings, even when they are paid in small periodic payments, are just like other assets or equities. Not unlike real estate property assets, gold, diamonds, or cars, they can be sold for a lump sum of cash.
How Much Cash Will I Get When I Sell Casino Payments?
There are many discount brokers or factoring companies that are willing to buy casino payments. The lump sum cash winners receive when they sell casino payments are dependent on the specific details of the periodic payment plan:
• amounts of payments
• frequency of payments
• overall time span
Always bear in mind though that the lump sum would be equal to the discounted face value of the remaining amount that the seller has yet to receive from the casino.
Although casinos pay winners in the form of a non-transferable annuity, it is perfectly legal for winners to cash out casino payments. They just have to provide their discount broker a copy of the award letter given to you by the casino, and some kind of official identification.
Simply put, if you want to sell casino payments (either all of them or just a portion) to pay for immediate personal or business needs, you can be sure that it is a legal transaction that usually takes no more than a few weeks to process.
