law enforcement and regulatory 

personnel for use in official 

performance of their duties, for 

regulatory purposes and in 

investigations and proceedings 

involving domestic and international 

money laundering, tax violations, fraud, 

and other financial crimes. 

Reports filed by casinos required to 

report suspicious transactions under 31 

CFR 103.21, and any reports filed 

voluntarily by casinos or card clubs will 

be subject to the protection from 

liability contained in 31 U.S.C. 

5318(g)(3) and the provision contained 

in 31 U.S.C. 5318(g)(2) which prohibits 

notification of any person involved in 

the transaction that a suspicious activity 

report has been filed. The current SAR–
