(Since many players like to play abroad, I asked Customs attorney Jena Cauley to pen this week's blog that details what can happen when you travel to foreign shores with cash.)

As you enjoy your casino experience, remember to be mindful of how you transport your cash whenever you travel internationally. You may recall that uncomfortable time when the flight attendant or cruise director distrubuted Customs forms among the passengers who are either entering or leaving the United States. In addition to reporting requirements for any purchases you make while abroad, Customs requires you to report the transportation of $10,000 or more in currency. While many people are aware of this requirement, most citizens are not aware of the penalties that may occur if this law is violated. Furthermore, you may be in violation of this law even when you are transporting less than $10,000 in cash..
