Detecting Forged Prize Receipts

In many gambling fraud cases, forged prize receipts are a common way that sellers use to cover up their theft. When auditing a game, look for: 

  • a winner with different looking signatures; and 
  • a winner with signatures that are similar to the writing style of the seller. 

Contact your Compliance Specialist at the Gambling Control Board on how to report a game with forged prize receipts.

Examples of questionable and valid signatures

Look at prize receipts for the same winner. Paper pull-tab sellers may try to cover theft in another manner by writing the driver's license information on other prize receipts and then forging the prize receipt.
