Short Answer: Casinos require a bank statement or 'Confirmation of Account' letter to verify two things: that the account legally belongs to you and that it is the correct destination for your winnings.
1. Preventing Third-Party Payouts
Under FICA laws, a bookmaker cannot pay winnings into an account that is not in the player's name. The statement proves the account is yours, protecting you from hackers who might try to redirect your funds to their own bank.
2. Security Standards
Your statement must show the bank's logo, your full name, and the account number. For privacy, you are allowed to redact (black out) your individual transaction history—the casino only needs to see the account header details.
