If the win/loss page in your casino account is missing, incomplete or limited to a calendar-year total, ask the operator for both records covered by [West Virginia Interactive Wagering Rule 179CSR10 §7.10](https://apps.sos.wv.gov/adlaw/csr/readfile.aspx?DocId=58895&Format=PDF): a detailed account statement covering at least six months and a summary of all activity during the past year.
These records can help you reconcile deposits, withdrawals, balances and gambling results. Request them from the operator first and save the full paper trail. If the matter remains unresolved, the West Virginia Lottery provides a complaint route. The records may support tax recordkeeping, but they are not necessarily a Form W-2G or a complete replacement for your own gambling diary and supporting evidence.
First check whether the West Virginia rule covers the account
Section 7.10 applies to West Virginia-regulated interactive gaming systems. It should not be assumed to cover an offshore gambling site, a sweepstakes or social casino, a retail casino loyalty statement, or the West Virginia Lottery’s separate iPLAY product. Check the operator and account details against current West Virginia licensing information before relying on this process. Our [US online casino state-by-state checklist](/country-guides/us-online-casinos-state-by-state-checklist) and [licence information](https://igamingcentre.com/licenses) explain the wider checks to make.
Start in the account, transaction-history or patron-protection area. The rule requires the patron-protection page to provide a method for obtaining account and game history, as well as routes for complaining to the operator and taking an unresolved complaint to the Director. Menu names differ between operators, so contact customer support if the records are not available as a direct download.
Ask for both records—and describe them precisely
The first record is an on-demand account statement with detailed activity for at least the six months preceding the point 24 hours before your request. That timing matters: do not assume activity from the most recent 24 hours will be included. The second record is a summary of all patron activity during the past year. At minimum, that summary must include deposits, withdrawals, win or loss statistics, beginning and ending account balances, and any self-imposed responsible-gaming limit history.
A clear request is: “Please provide the detailed account statement required by West Virginia Interactive Wagering Rule 179CSR10 §7.10, plus the summary of all activity during the past year, including deposits, withdrawals, win/loss statistics, beginning and ending balances, and responsible-gaming limit history.” Send it through a channel that leaves a dated record. Include your account email or username and the requested period, but never send a password or unnecessary payment-card details.
How to check the statement for missing or inconsistent activity
Download the supplied files and keep the originals. Compare the opening and closing balances, deposits, withdrawals, win/loss figures, bonuses, promotional credits and manual adjustments. Then check relevant entries against bank records, payment receipts and the individual game or transaction history visible in the account. A summary total may be calculated differently from a simple deposits-minus-withdrawals figure, so ask the operator to explain its calculation before treating a mismatch as an error.
If something still appears wrong, identify the precise date, amount, transaction ID and expected result. Use neutral wording such as “This $75 withdrawal appears in my bank record but not in the supplied account history.” Save screenshots of the visible balance and history, the dated request, support-ticket number, chat or email transcript, downloaded statements and the operator’s response. The same evidence checklist used for a [casino withdrawal complaint](/safety/casino-complaints-withdrawal-delay) is useful here.
Operator first, West Virginia Lottery second
Give the operator a clear opportunity to investigate. Under §179-10-5.5, an interactive-gaming operator must investigate each related patron complaint and respond within ten calendar days. Keep proof of when the complaint was submitted and distinguish an automated acknowledgement from the substantive response. If new information arrives, add it to the same case where possible instead of opening several disconnected tickets.
If the response does not resolve the issue—or no substantive response arrives within that period—use the [West Virginia Lottery Sports & iGaming Complaint Form](https://wvlottery.com/contact-us/complaint). The form asks whether you contacted the operator first, so attach or summarise that history and provide factual evidence. Explain what record you requested, what was received or omitted, the dates involved and the outcome you want. Avoid alleging fraud when the evidence only establishes a discrepancy. This is general information, not legal advice.
Tax records and safer-gambling checks
A regulatory account summary is not necessarily a Form W-2G, and neither document automatically replaces complete personal records. [IRS Topic No. 419](https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc419) says gambling winnings must be reported even when they do not appear on a Form W-2G. It also says players claiming gambling losses must keep an accurate diary or similar record supported by statements, receipts or other evidence. A net loss shown by an operator does not by itself remove the obligation to report gambling winnings. This is not tax advice; use current IRS guidance or consult a qualified tax professional about your circumstances.
Use the history as a spending checkpoint. If the totals are higher than expected or the activity is causing concern, stop playing rather than trying to recover losses. Review deposit, loss and session limits, consider a timeout, or use the West Virginia Lottery’s [responsible-gambling tools](https://wvlottery.com/iplay-with-purpose/play-responsibly/responsible-gambling-tools) and [self-exclusion information](https://wvlottery.com/iplay-with-purpose/self-exclusion). More support is available through [iGaming Centre’s responsible-gambling resources](https://igamingcentre.com/responsible-gambling). 18+ only. West Virginia-regulated interactive wagering is limited to players aged 21 or older, and availability remains state-specific.

What should I do if the supplied history still looks incomplete?
Identify the exact date, amount, transaction ID and expected result, ask the operator to explain the discrepancy in writing, and keep the complete request, statement and response trail before escalating.
Does an operator win/loss statement replace my tax records?
Not necessarily. Use current IRS guidance or a qualified tax professional and keep an accurate gambling diary or similar record supported by statements, receipts and other evidence.
