DECISION AFTER TRIAL
In this adversary proceeding under the umbrella of the chapter 7 case of Debtor-Defendant Chong Park, Plaintiff-Marina District Development Co., dba the Borgata Casino (the “Borgata”), seeks a judgment, *672pursuant to sections 523(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, that the $110,000 that it lent the Debtor for chips during a four-day gambling trip at the Borgata is nondischargeable.
The Borgata asserts principally that the Debtor secured the $110,000 in chips after having made false representations on two “counter checks,” more commonly referred to as “markers” (drawn on the Debtor’s checking account, as more fully explained below), that he signed in the course of his gambling.1 Imprinted on each of these markers, in fine print, was a statement that the debtor then had funds “on deposit” in that checking account to cover them. The Debtor did not then have $110,000 in that checking account (though he had access to funds in that amount elsewhere), and because of this, the Borga-ta seeks to deny him his discharge.
After trial2 the Court finds that the Debtor signed markers (one for $100,000 and another for $10,000, with the understanding that each would be cashed, if necessary, only after 45 days), that had imprinted on them statements that he then had funds “on deposit” in his checking account to cover the checks, and that these statements were not true. And the Court assumes, without deciding, that when the Debtor signed the markers, he subscribed to the statements that had been preprinted on them, and should be deemed to have made representations to that effect.
But the Court further finds after trial (at which, among other things, the Court gauged the credibility of the various witnesses, most significantly the Debtor) that the Debtor did not intend to defraud the Borgata when he signed the markers. The Court further finds that the representations were not material, and that they did not cause the Borgata’s loss — as the Debtor had other resources to cover the counter checks, and that his inability ultimately to honor the markers was the result of his later decision to apply $140,500 of those resources to gambling at another casino instead. And the Court further finds that the Borgata did not rely (or, of course, reasonably or justifiably rely) on the statements the Debtor subscribed to when he signed the markers, relying instead on his “pay and play” history (explained below), with years of gambling, borrowing, and repaying sums many multiples of what he then had in his checking account, and having paid back his gambling markers 54 of the 56 times that he had executed them.3
Though the matters here ultimately present issues of fact, the facts here have remarkable similarity to those in the four other recent decisions involving markers at *673casinos that contained the same preprinted representations that funds to cover the markers were then “on deposit” in the debtors’ checking accounts4 — in every one of which the court declined to find nondis-chargeability. This Court will rule likewise. Here, against the backdrop of four earlier decisions determining that the debt on those markers was dischargeable — one of which, in fact, involved the same representation, at the same casino5 — the facts calling for dischargeability are as strong or stronger. Here too judgment will be entered for the Debtor-Defendant, and his debt will remain dischargeable.
The Court’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in connection with this determination follow.
Findings of Fact 6
The Debtor is a compulsive gambler, who sought help for his compulsion only after he incurred the debts at issue here. He is (or was at the time of the trial) 40 years of age. Though he formerly was an investment banker, he now is unemployed. Until his gambling resulted in his financial ruin, he was a very good patron of the Borgata7 — winning and losing (though more of the latter) sums in the hundreds of thousands of dollars — and was a sufficiently good patron, in fact, that the Bor-gata provided the Debtor with a personal host,8 possibly a room,9 and complimentary alcohol and pills.10
*674The Debtor filed a voluntary chapter 7 petition on September 16, 2009. After filing a claim against the Debtor for the unpaid gambling debts, the Borgata brought this adversary proceeding to determine the dischargeability of the debt. As part of the trial, the Court took evidence of the Borgata’s credit practices; how the Debtor availed himself of them; and the extent to which the matters at issue here affected the Borgata’s loss.
I. The Borgata’s Practices for Extending Credit for Gambling
The Borgata extends credit to certain patrons for the purpose of gambling there. The Borgata does so after the patron fills out a credit application, after further investigation with respect to the patron, and after the patron has developed a credit history, with consideration of the patron’s history in repayment of earlier obligations.
As explained by Gary Martin, Director of Credit at the Borgata (“Martin”), the Borgata’s initial credit application process consists of three parts. First the Borgata obtains a consumer credit report. Second, the Borgata verifies the patron’s bank account information, including the existence of the account and its current and average balances. Third, the Borgata obtains a “gaming report” from Central Credit, a company that provides information regarding a credit applicant’s existing obligations to other casinos. Based on this investigation, the Borgata determines the amount of credit it is willing to extend to that patron.11
When a patron wishes to draw down his line of credit, the patron notifies the Bor-gata personnel at the gambling table (who are called the “pit personnel”) of the amount he wishes to draw down. The pit personnel use a computer system that is linked to the Borgata’s credit department to check the customer’s credit.12
If the requested amount of credit is within the approved available credit and there are no delinquencies, the pit personnel provide the patron with a counter check (or marker) which the patron is required to sign. The marker (in its entirety) is an approximately two inch by six inch slip of paper. Imprinted in small print on the marker (in an area 5/16" high and 2-1/2" wide) is the following statement:
I represent that I have received cash and that said amount is available on deposit in said bank or trust company in my name. It is free from claims and is subject to this check. If dishonored, interest will be added at 12% per an-num.13
After signing next to this representation, the patron is provided with gambling chips equal to the amount of the credit that has been drawn down. The Borgata does not contact the bank to verify that the requested amount is on deposit at the time the counter check is signed.14
At least normally, consistent with New Jersey statute,15 counter checks in excess *675of $5,000 are not presented immediately for payment. Rather, the patron has 45 days within which to pay the amount owed. If the counter check is timely paid, the counter check is cancelled or redeemed and surrendered to the patron.16 If the patron does not pay within the allotted time, the Borgata deposits the counter check for collection.17 Because of the parties’ understanding that the counter check will not be drawn upon before the passage of 45 days, it is effectively a promissory note.
When a patron wishes to increase his or her line of credit at the Borgata, the patron requests a line of credit increase from the pit personnel at the gaming table. But pit personnel do not make credit decisions. Rather, they either call the credit department or ask the patron to visit the credit department. The Borgata then checks with other casinos to see what outstanding casino debts the patron may have.18 The credit executive that is on duty at the time is responsible for making decisions on approving or denying increases to credit lines. If the request would increase the line of credit to over $50,000, the credit executive on duty must contact either Martin or his supervisor. Under the Borgata’s policies, as Martin testified, it is not necessary to check bank balances before increasing a credit line.19
2. The Debtor’s Activities
The Debtor first applied for a line of credit in early January 2007 to commence on January 24, 2007. For his initial credit application (which was in part filled out by the Debtor, in part by the Borgata’s staff, and in part by no one at all), the Debtor provided information including his address, account information for a checking account he had at Citibank, and employment details.20 Sections of the credit application that called for total gross income, assets, and casino debts were left blank.
The application also included a “Privacy Statement” and “Customer Agreement” in small print under which the Debtor signed his name. The “Customer Agreement” additionally stated: “I also acknowledge that I have a continuing obligation to advise the Borgata credit staff of any change(s) in the information provided by me as stated herein.”
On his initial credit application, the Debtor listed that he was a Vice President at investment bank Goldman, Sachs & Co. (“Goldman Sachs”). The Debtor was employed at Goldman Sachs until March 25, 2007; thereafter, in 2007 and 2008, the Debtor worked for two other firms before leaving the latter of those firms to trade on his own.21
The Debtor was initially granted a $30,000 line of credit. On various dates between January 24, 2007 (the Debtor’s first visit to the Borgata after being approved for a line of credit) and April 1, 2009 (during the 4-day gambling trip at the Borgata, at which the Debtor later issued the counter checks that ultimately were dishonored), the Debtor drew down his line of credit and executed a counter check on each occasion22 On each of these dates, the Debtor repaid the counter checks — either in cash, chips, or by the *676counter check being drawn on his Citibank checking account.23
On January 9, 2008, at 3:13 a.m. (sic.),24 approximately one year after his initial application, the Debtor requested and was approved for a credit limit increase from $30,000 to $50,000.25 On January 29, 2009, approximately a year after the earlier increase (and two years after his initial credit application), the Debtor requested a credit limit increase from $50,000 to $100,000, which was also approved.26
On March 31, 2009, the first day of his four-day gambling trip at the Borgata, the Debtor repaid an outstanding $100,000 obligation to the Borgata.27 As the Debtor testified (in testimony the Court likewise found credible), he was pressured during that trip to request an increase in his credit line to $300,000 from $100,000.28 On April 2 (the third day of the trip), the Debtor signed the $100,000 counter check, and on April 3 (the fourth day of the trip), the Debtor signed the $10,000 counter check. The $10,000 credit was extended to him as a 10% temporary increase to his permanent line of credit on a “this time only” basis.29
When the two counter checks totaling $110,000 were not repaid within the 45 day period, the Borgata deposited the two counter checks, both on May 21, 2009.30 The counter checks were marked “return to maker” and returned to the Borgata on May 27, 2009 because there were insufficient funds then in the Citibank account to cover the counter checks.31
3. The Debtor’s Pay and Play History
Over the course of the approximately 27 months during which the Debtor had a line of credit with the Borgata, the Debtor signed markers in the Borgata’s favor 56 times.32 With respect to all but the two *677markers at issue here, the Debtor repaid his credit line in full, either in chips, cash, or by the counter check being drawn on his checking account.33
By the time, in January 2009, that the Debtor’s credit line was increased from $50,000 to $100,000, the Debtor had signed, and paid back, 31 markers. By the time, on March 31, 2009 that the Debtor arrived at the Borgata for the four-day visit at which he executed the two markers at issue here, the Debtor had signed, and paid back, 38 markers. By the time, on April 2, 2009, that the Debtor executed the first of the two markers that ultimately were dishonored, the Debtor had signed, and paid back, 54 markers.
Over this time, the Debtor borrowed an aggregate of $1,631,000.00 ($1.631 million) from the Borgata to gamble. He had paid back $1,521,000.00 ($1.521 million) of that sum before he executed the first of the two markers at issue here. Those huge sums advanced by the Borgata, and later repaid, were for the purpose of gambling there.
The Court finds that well before the Debtor issued the last two of the 56 markers in favor of the Borgata, he was a very much wanted patron there, inclined to gamble very large sums, and with a track record of borrowing, and paying back, very large sums to do so — which is exactly why the Borgata detailed a “host” for him. It is also why the Borgata increased the Debtor’s credit (from $30,000 to $100,000) in January,34 and offered to increase his credit limit even higher (from $100,000 to $300,000) just before the Debtor executed the last two markers in April.
Many of the Debtor’s markers were repaid, as the Borgata contends,35 from the Debtor’s winnings or “break even,” as repayment was made the same day as the draw-down of the credit line. But on five of the occasions, markers were presented for deposit on the Debtor’s Citibank checking account.36 On each of these five occasions, the counter checks were honored by Citibank as there were sufficient funds in the account.37
Although the Borgata included the evidence of the Debtor’s borrowing and repayment history in its contentions of fact to argue that “the Borgata had every reason to believe that Park was financially solvent so as to be able to repay the $110,000 at the time it was advanced”38— and that is undoubtedly true — it shows something else as well. It shows the true basis for the Borgata’s belief that it would be repaid. Over the course of his two year *678relationship with the Borgata, the Debtor had borrowed and repaid over $1.5 million before executing the two markers here. The Court finds that the Borgata was aware of that fact; wanted his continuing business; and took steps — such as offering him complimentary liquor and pills, inviting him to increase his credit limit to $300,000, and assigning him a “host” — to continue to attract him as a patron, and to get him to gamble (and, to facilitate his gambling, to borrow) even more. That the Borgata considered the Debtor to be a sufficiently attractive patron to give him complimentary alcohol and pills, and, especially, to assign him a host, materially undercuts its arguments here that it was relying on the language on the markers when extending credit for gambling.
The Court finds that in extending the $110,000 to the Debtor (the last of the $1.6 million that the Borgata had advanced to the Debtor, of which $1.5 million had been paid back), the Borgata was well aware of, and relied upon, the Debtor’s gambling, borrowing, and repayment history — what the parties’ briefs and other courts that have dealt with this issue have described as a “pay and play history”39 — not the statements that had been imprinted on the markers.40
U. Causation
In the period between executing those two markers at the Borgata and the times (45 days after the execution of each) at which they would be cashed, the Debtor then gambled elsewhere. Significantly, the Debtor took $140,500 of his then available resources to gamble at another casino, Caesars, on April 14, 2009, approximately two weeks after the session at the Borgata casino at which he executed the counter cheeks that ultimately were dishonored.41
The failure to have funds on deposit at the time the representations in the markers were made did not cause the Borgata’s loss. The Debtor could have paid back the Borgata’s $110,000 in markers if he had not chosen to take $140,500 of his available resources to Caesars instead. It was his subsequent decision to spend his available resources elsewhere — and not his failure to have funds in that particular account 45 days before they were to be drawn upon— that ultimately caused the Borgata’s loss.
5. The Debtor’s Employment
The Debtor’s statement in January 2007 that he was employed at Goldman Sachs was truthful when made. But he left *679Goldman Sachs approximately two months later, in March 2007. Between March 2007 and January 2009, he worked at two other firms.42
Notwithstanding the undertaking on the Debtor’s January 2007 credit application, the Debtor failed to take steps on his own initiative to advise the Borgata of his changes in employment. He should have done so without any inquiry by the Borga-ta, as he had previously acknowledged an obligation to advise the Borgata of any changes.43
But the Borgata learned that the Debtor was no longer at Goldman Sachs as a consequence of the Borgata’s own inquiry. The Court accepts as credible the Debtor’s testimony that he “absolutely” told the Borgata that he was no longer employed by Goldman Sachs.44
The Debtor was called by a female Bor-gata credit employee on his cell phone in January 2009. She told the Debtor that as part of the Borgata’s updating its credit records (as the Borgata was required to do under New Jersey casino regulatory requirements every two years, and as the Debtor testified was the Borgata’s practice every one year),45 the Borgata needed to update the Debtor’s bank account information. She further informed the Debtor46 that the Borgata had previously called the Debtor at Goldman Sachs to arrange for the Debtor’s participation in a three-way conference with Citibank47 to ascertain the Debtor’s Citibank bank balances;48 that Goldman Sachs told the Borgata that the Debtor was no longer an employee; and that she then contacted the Debtor’s host Morales,49 who gave her the Debtor’s cell phone number.
The Borgata female employee, with the Debtor on the line, then conferenced in Citibank to get his banking information.
Later in that discussion, the Borgata employee asked to update the Debtor’s other information, including employment information, while she had him on the phone. As part of that, she said “we should update your general information, are you still at Goldman Sachs?” The Debtor responded “no, I had left in March 2007,” and “that was three employers ago.”50 The Debtor said that he was about to leave his then-employer Keffi to trade on his own, and told the credit em*680ployee to simply leave the employment information section blank.51
The Borgata asserts that it was never told of the Debtor’s having left Goldman Sachs’ employ, and disputes the Debtor’s account of the call as described above. But based on the Debtor’s demeanor and detail in his answers on cross examination when he was probed on his relatively sparse and conclusory (but consistent) direct testimony to the same effect,52 and other relevant evidence,53 the Court believes the Debtor. The Court finds, accordingly, that by the end of that call, in January 2009 (two months before the four-day visit to the Borgata at which the Debt- or signed the two markers in question), the Borgata was on notice that the Debtor was no longer employed at Goldman Sachs.
6. The Debtor’s Scienter
After gauging the Debtor’s demeanor, and finding the Debtor’s testimony credible, the Court finds that he did not intend to deceive or defraud the Borgata when he executed the markers, nor did he intend to make a misrepresentation, material or otherwise, as to his bank balance, other financial condition, or other existing fact. The Court likewise finds that he intended to make payment on the markers, and that he did not expect to be unable to do so.
The Court reaches these conclusions based on a number of factors. The Debtor knew that he had resources (a combination of cash and lines of credit) to cover the markers. He also believed, reasonably or otherwise, that he could win (or at least avoid losing) in amounts that would cover the markers, partly because of his compulsion, and partly because he had just won over $200,000 in the preceding weeks (though he had also lost nearly that amount).
The Court’s conclusions in these respects after hearing the Debtor’s testimony and gauging his demeanor are reinforced by extrinsic facts. As noted, although the Debtor did not have $110,000 on deposit in his checking account, he could make payment on the markers with the availability of funds from elsewhere. The Court’s conclusions in this regard are further reinforced by his payment history, in which he had satisfied earlier markers 54 times, including one, also of $100,000, earlier in the four-day gambling trip in which he later executed the two additional markers that are at issue here.
7. Ultimate Facts
The Court makes the following findings of ultimate facts.
1. Each of the representations on the two counter checks that the Debtor signed that “said amount is available on deposit in said bank” to cover the counter checks was not true.54
*6812. Though the Debtor did not have the funds to cover the counter checks in the account on which they were drawn, the Debtor had available funds and lines of credit sufficient to cover the counter checks from elsewhere.
3. The false representations were not material. Because of the availability of the funds elsewhere, and because the Debtor would have 45 days to place those funds into the Citibank checking account, the representations as to funds then “on deposit” in the Debtor’s checking account 45 days prior to the time at which the counter checks would be drawn upon did not reflect the Debtor’s ability to cover his debt. Additionally, it was the Debtor’s “pay and play” history that was material to the Borgata, not his bank account balance.
4. The Debtor did not intend to defraud the Borgata. Assuming, arguendo, that the Debtor knew that he was then making a representation that he had the funds in that particular account, the Debt- or knew he had funds available to cover the two counter checks from elsewhere.
5. The false representations did not cause the Borgata’s loss. If the Debtor had not used $140,500 of his resources to gamble at Caesars, two weeks later, and lost that money, those available resources would have been available to cover the counter checks.
6. The Borgata did not rely on the representations printed on the counter checks, reasonably, justifiably, or otherwise. It instead extended him credit in such very large amounts based on his gambling history with the Borgata, and information provided by Central Credit, the service that issues reports on high roller gamblers.
7. The Borgata knew that the Debtor was no longer employed by Goldman Sachs as of the time that it extended the credit by means of the two counter checks, having been so informed in January 2009. Thus the Borgata was not defrauded by a failure on the part of the Debtor to update his earlier, truthful, statement that he was employed at Goldman Sachs.
8. No evidence was introduced, and the Borgata failed to show, that the Borgata relied on the Debtor’s statement, made two years earlier, that he was then employed at Goldman Sachs. Assuming, ar-guendo, that the Borgata had so relied on the fact, any such reliance would not have been reasonable or justifiable after the Borgata was on notice that the Debtor was no longer employed there.
Discussion
I.
The Underlying Law
One of the primary purposes of the bankruptcy system is to provide debtors with a “fresh start” through the discharge of their debts.55 But notwithstanding a debtor’s discharge as a general matter, a particular debt may still not be dischargeable when a creditor makes the requisite showing of one of the enumerated grounds for an exception under section 523(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.56 Never*682theless, as the Second Circuit has held, to implement the “fresh start” policy of the Bankruptcy Code, exceptions to dis-chargeability are “narrowly construed against the creditor’s objections, and confined to those plainly expressed in the Code.”57
The Borgata relies on two of the Code’s bases for potential denial of discharge. Both are grounded in section 523(a)(2) of the Code, which provides, in relevant part, that the discharge that the Debtor otherwise receives does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt:
(2) for money, property, services, or an extension, renewal, or refinancing of credit, to the extent obtained, by—
(A) false pretenses, a false representation, or actual fraud, other than a statement respecting the debtor’s or an insider’s financial condition;
(B) use of a statement in writing—
(i) that is materially false;
(ii) respecting the debtor’s or an insider’s financial condition;
(iii) on which the creditor to whom the debtor is liable for such money, property, services, or credit reasonably relied; and
(iv)that the debtor caused to be made or published with intent to deceive....
The Court starts, as usual, with textual analysis, but that is of limited utility here. Textual analysis is minimally useful with respect to subsection A, as its key bases for nondischargeability are not defined under the Code,58 and determinations as to what constitutes “false pretenses,” “a false representation,” and “actual fraud” rest on common law.59 Textual analysis is more useful with respect to subsection B, which as relevant here, requires a written statement 60 that is “materially false,” with respect to the debtor’s “financial condition,” on which the creditor “reasonably relied,” and that the debtor caused to be made “with intent to deceive.”
Caselaw, particularly the very thorough decision in August, fills the gaps in subsections A and B, and provides further assistance in considering the statutory requirements of subsection B.
As explained in August, to prevail on nondischargeability under the false *683representation provision of subsection A, the creditor-plaintiff must demonstrate that:
(1) the debtor made the representations knowing they were false; (2) the debtor made the representations with the intent and purpose of deceiving the plaintiff; (3) the creditor justifiably relied on the debtor’s false representations; and (4) the creditor suffered a loss or damage as a proximate consequence of the representation having been made.61
The August court further emphasized that:
[A] showing of justifiable reliance and causation of loss must be made.... Justifiable reliance is a lower standard than reasonable reliance, but nonetheless requires that the creditor prove that it actually relied upon the alleged misrepresentation or false pretenses.62
In analyzing the requirements for prevailing on nondischargeability under the written statement provisions of subsection B, the August court explained the requirements in terms tracking the language of subsection B — use of a writing that was materially false; respecting the gambler-debtor’s financial condition; on which the casino reasonably relied; and that the gambler-debtor caused to be made with intent to deceive.63 By way of clarification and supplementation, however, it turned to two earlier Circuit Court of Appeals decisions that explained the meaning of “material falsity” — “an important or substantial untruth” — and stated that “[a] recurring guidepost used by courts has been to examine whether the lender would have made the loan had he known of the debtor’s true financial condition.”64
Additionally, the August court emphasized, relying on a holding of the Third Circuit, that subsection B(iii)' “requires that the creditor actually rely on the debt- or’s statement.”65 And “if it were reasonable to rely on a debtor’s statement, but the creditor did not in fact rely upon the false statement, (B)(iii) would not be satisfied.” 66
Finally, the Court believes that since claims under subsection B are premised simply on different kinds of fraud and misrepresentation, causation requirements applicable to claims under subsection A must be shown here as well. While the decisions are split on whether causation is an element under subsection B as well,67 and the Second Circuit has not spoken on this issue, logic compels this Court to rule in accordance with the decisions that have *684held that causation must be shown. Since claims under subsection B are in substance claims for particular kinds of misrepresentations, and have the same conceptual underpinnings, this Court believes the requirement for causation must apply here as well — and thus that to establish nondis-chargeability, the creditor must show that the false statement in the writing caused the creditor’s loss.
II.
The Borgata’s Contentions
The Borgata contends that the debt is nondisehargeable under each of subsections A and B. The Borgata seeks relief under subsection A “due to fraud in issuing counter checks,”68 based on its contention that “[t]he Borgata relied on the Defendant’s written representation that he had sufficient funds in his bank account at the time he tendered the counter check and received chips in return.”69 The Bor-gata also seeks relief under subsection B, “due to fraud in issuing a false credit application,”70 based on apparently separate claims based on the Debtor’s failure to notify the Borgata of the change in his employer,71 and, once again, his signing of the counter checks, though without reference to the language that was imprinted upon them, and premised on a contention that the Debtor not only did not have the funds in his Citibank account, but did not have funds available anywhere else, either.72
The Court considers those Bor-gata contentions, in light of its Findings of Fact after the trial — all as compared to the legal requirements for establishing nondis-chargeability, as discussed in Section I above — in Section III below. But preliminarily, the Court must note some difficulty with the stated statutory predicates underlying the claims. Analytically, to the extent nondischargeability claims may arise from the falsity of the statements imprinted on the markers, they arise under subsection B, not A (as they are written statements relating to the Debtor’s financial condition, i.e., what the Debtor had in his bank account), as several decisions have held.73 Likewise, if there was a failure on the Debtor’s part to comply with his contractual promise to update the name of his employer, and if this amounted to fraud and was with the necessary scienter, this would amount to acquiring property by fraud or false pretenses (but not by means of a written statement with respect to the debtor’s financial condition) and be subject to subsection A, rather than subsection B.74
*685But the distinction — which principally affects, as a practical matter, requirements as to the nature of the creditor’s reliance75 —ultimately does not matter, because the Borgata has failed to show an entitlement to relief under either section, for the reasons discussed below.
III.
Did Borgata Satisfy the Requirements for Nondischargeability?
In support of its contentions, the Borga-ta argues that the Debtor made two false statements or representations. First, the Borgata argues that the Debtor made false representations when he signed the markers on April 2 and April 3 that had the statements imprinted on them that the Citibank account had sufficient funds at that time to cover them. Second, the Bor-gata argues that the Debtor made a false representation by failing to inform the Borgata that he was no longer employed by Goldman Sachs after listing Goldman Sachs as his employer on the initial credit application.
The Court considers these in turn.
A. False Representations on the Markers
Turning first to the Borgata’s arguments premised on false representations on the markers, the Court finds statements on the markers that were false,76 and assumes, for the purpose of its analysis, that the Debtor knowingly subscribed to the statements and understood that he was effectively making them.77 But the Court finds that the statements were not materially false; that the Debtor did not intend to defraud the Borgata; that the Borgata did not rely upon them, much less reasonably or justifiably so; and that the false statements did not cause the Borga-ta’s loss. In each of these respects, the Borgata failed to meet its burden of proof.
1. Material Falsity
First, as the Court has found as a fact above,78 the statement that funds were *686then “on deposit” at Citibank, while false, was not materially false. The Court finds that to be true here even if a statement of this character might normally be material. This was true for several reasons.
(a) Amount in Citibank Account Did Not Matter Earlier
First, the Borgata increased the Debt- or’s credit line, from $50,000 to $100,000, in January 2009, when the Borgata was on notice of exactly what the Debtor then had in his Citibank checking account — and that amount was never more than $8,669.79 Increasing his line of credit to $100,000, when the amount on deposit was such a dramatically lesser amount, evidences a lack of interest in what was in the bank account at any particular time — and suggests that the amount in the account at any particular time was not material. The January episode evidences instead the Borgata’s belief and confidence that, in the future, the Debtor would deposit into the account — or otherwise repay — whatever was necessary to cover any markers he issued thereafter. The modest amount in the Debtor’s account in January when the Borgata then gave him an astronomical line of credit is strong evidence that the amount in his account at any particular time was not material.
(b) Funds Available from Other Sources
Second, the funds to cover the counter checks were available at the time from other sources.80 As the Seventh Circuit held in Bogstad, and the Third Circuit held in Cohn, “[a] recurring guidepost used by courts has been to examine whether the lender would have made the loan had he known of the debtor’s true financial condition.” If the Borgata had been told the true facts — that the funds were not then in the Debtor’s Citibank account, but were still available — there is little reason to believe, especially given the Debtor’s gambling, borrowing, and repayment history— that this would have changed the Borga-ta’s willingness to lend. It might be a minor inconvenience for the Borgata to have to wait for the Debtor to transfer any necessary funds from such other sources to the Citibank account, or to cause them to be paid directly to the Borgata, but that would not affect the Borgata’s ability to be repaid.
Given the totality of the evidence, the Court concludes, as in Ridge-Borgata and Ridge-Caesars, that the Borgata regarded the counter checks more as IOUs than checks on an account, as evidenced by the Borgata’s repeated willingness to accept funds in satisfaction of markers from sources other than the Citibank account over the course of the relationship, and the New Jersey statute’s express endorsement of alternate means to pay a casino back.81 On only five of the 54 prior occasions did the Borgata deposit a marker signed by the Debtor for collection on the Debtor’s Citibank account. Since the essence of the Borgata’s complaint is that the Debtor incurred obligations without the ability and intent to pay them back, and his obligations, by statute, could be satisfied by many different means, the location of the available funds was not material.
*687The Court is unwilling to find that if the Borgata knew the Debtor had the available funds, but simply somewhere else, the Borgata would have retreated from its long-standing practice of giving the Debtor credit.
(c) Delay Before Draw-Down
Third, though this relates closely to the second, the Court notes once more its factual findings that neither the Borgata nor the Debtor understood that the counter checks would be immediately drawn upon. The counter checks would be drawn upon only if not otherwise satisfied after 45 days.82 On what was obviously a very similar evidentiary record,83 the Ridge-Borgata court observed that:
The Borgata, like other casinos, does not immediately present a customer’s marker but essentially treats it as an IOU and allows the customer a period of time in which to redeem it by paying the amount owed in cash or by wire-transfer or check. Under the Borgata’s policy and New Jersey law, the debtor had forty-five days from January 11, 2007 to pay off the markers. If no payment was received by the 45th day, the signed counterparts of the counter checks would be deposited by the casino.84
By reason of the 45 day period before which the counter checks would be drawn upon,85 the Ridge-Borgata court further observed that:
The marker then is more akin to a promissory note than to an ordinary check, which both the drawer and the payee would ordinarily expect to be promptly presented. It permits the casino to draw upon the bank account if the debt is not paid within the time specified.86
*688The Ridge-Borgata court recognized, under those circumstances, that:
the representation that a customer had a particular amount on deposit on the date a marker is signed would provide no assurance that the same funds would be available 15 days later. Much can obviously happen in 15 days, and fraud requires a misrepresentation as to an existing fact and not a future occurrence.87
This Court finds that observation to be equally true here. There was no covenant in the Debtor’s credit application papers or as part of the markers to keep funds in the checking account until the marker was drawn upon. Nor was there a representation by the Debtor of an intent to do so. Under these circumstances, the Court cannot find the falsity of a representation as to a state of affairs 45 days before the marker would be drawn upon to be materially false.
The Ridge-Borgata court regarded this representation as relevant to reliance, and it was one of the underpinnings of the Ridge-Borgata finding that the Borgata had not there shown reliance.88 While the Ridge-Borgata court did not speak of it as also going to materiality, this Court believes it to be relevant to both. Since having the funds on deposit 45 days earlier would provide no assurance that they would be there at the time when it mattered — and “what mattered” is the touchstone of materiality — the lack of a nexus to the state of facts at the time when it would matter defeats materiality.
(d) Other Information Being Material Instead
Fourth, the Court finds a lack of materiality with respect to the funds then on deposit when the Borgata relied on other information instead — information from credit industry sources (most significantly, Central Credit) and the Debtor’s long history of paying off his earlier gambling markers.89 Historically, this has been found to defeat any kind of reliance — and, of course, justifiable and reasonable reli-*689anee — and is addressed at length in the “Pay and Play” discussion, Section 111(A)(3)(b) below. No useful purpose would be served by repeating it here.
2. Intent to Defraud
Then, the Court finds, as a mixed question of fact and law (but based on the Court’s Findings of Fact with respect to scienter, above), that the Debtor did not have the requisite intent to deceive the Borgata. To demonstrate intent to deceive, a creditor must prove that the debtor “made the statement knowing either that it was false, or that it was made with such reckless disregard for the truth so as to be the ‘equivalent of intent to defraud.’ ”90 At the time the Debtor signed the markers, the Debtor had sufficient funds available to him from various sources that would enable him to repay the $110,000 to the Borgata. This appears, most obviously, by the fact that he subsequently drew down and brought $140,500 of these funds to another casino, Caesars, to gamble two weeks after his session at the Borgata.91 He also believed, reasonably or otherwise, that he would continue to win, as he had earlier on the trip, and earlier during the year.
The Debtor had previously issued 54 markers in favor of the Borgata, and had repaid all of them, including five where the Borgata drew down upon them at the Debtor’s bank. After gauging the Debt- or’s demeanor, and his borrowing and repayment history, the Court cannot and does not find that he executed these last two markers with intent to defraud.
3. Reasonable Reliance
Next, the Court finds that the Borgata did not reasonably or justifiably rely on the false statements on the markers — or, in fact, rely upon them at all. The Court so finds for two reasons — first, as explained in Ridge-Borgata and Ridge-Caesars, the 45-day delay, and second, because the Borgata relied on the Debtor’s “pay and play” history, which was a very strong one.
a. The 15-Day Delay
The Court has previously addressed the significance of the 45-day delay in drawing down on counter checks, and the discussion in Ridge-Borgata and Ridge-Caesars of the significance of that to reliance. In neither of those cases could the court find any reliance — much less justifiable or reasonable reliance — on a state of facts 45 days before the date those facts would matter. This Court cannot either.
b. “Pay and Play” History
But even more importantly, as noted above in the Court’s Findings of Fact, over the course of the approximately 27 months during which the Debtor had a line of credit with the Borgata, the Debtor signed markers in the Borgata’s favor 56 times, and paid back the first 54 of them.92 Over this time, the Debtor borrowed an aggregate of $1,631,000.00 ($1.631 million) from the Borgata to gamble, and had paid back $1,521,000.00 ($1.521 million) of that sum before he executed the first of the two markers at issue here.
The Court found, accordingly, that the Borgata was well aware of the Debtor’s past gambling and borrowing history; wanted his continuing business; and took steps — such as offering him complimentary liquor and pills; inviting him to increase *690his credit limit to $300,000, and assigning him a “host” — to continue to attract him as a patron, and to get him to gamble (and, to facilitate his gambling, to borrow) even more.
The Court likewise found that in extending the $110,000 to the Debtor (the last of the $1.6 million that the Borgata had advanced to the Debtor, of which $1.5 million had been paid back), the Borgata was well aware of, and relied upon, the Debtor’s gambling, borrowing, and repayment history — a “pay and play” history.
Five previous reported decisions have dealt with this — in each of which the court denied nondischargeability claims premised on section 523(a)(2)(A) and/or (B), because factual findings that the casino had relied on a pay and play history foreclosed the casino’s contentions that it relied, or “reasonably” or “justifiably” relied, on anything else.93 In four of them, in fact, the pay and play history was held to defeat a claim of reliance on the exact kinds of statements that were imprinted on the Borgata’s markers.94
In August, for example, the Debtor had a long pay and play history with the Ada-mar Tropicana casino. As here, she had repaid large sums of money to the casino over the course of the relationship. The August court found that the casino relied more on that history than on any representation made by the debtor at the time she signed the markers.95 The Adamar Tropicana could not show that it actually, justifiably, or reasonably relied on the debtor’s statement at the time she signed the markers that funds were actually in her bank account.96
Similarly, in Ridge-Caesars, the court held that the casino had failed to meet its burden of showing that it relied on the debtor’s statement that the debtor had funds available in his account equal to the amount of the markers.97 The court there found that the casino “relied primarily if not exclusively on the debtor’s credit history with other casinos and on his play-and-pay history at Caesars.”98 In Ridge-Bor-gata, the court also found that rather than relying on the debtor’s statement on the marker, the casino “relied primarily if not exclusively on [the debtor’s] credit history with other casinos [as well as a credit report it pulled when the marker was issued].” 99
*691A Causation
Finally, the Court finds that the failure to have the funds to cover the last two markers actually in the Debtor’s Citibank account did not cause the Borgata’s loss. As noted above, the Debtor had available funds elsewhere. Unfortunately, two weeks after he signed the counter checks in question, the Debtor elected to use $140,500 of those funds to gamble at Caesars instead. It was that decision— hardly wise, but not a fraud with respect to money that had already been borrowed — that ultimately caused the Borga-ta’s loss.
B. Failure to Update Employment Information
The Court turns next to the Bor-gata’s argument that the Debtor’s failure to update his employment information with the Borgata, after listing Goldman Sachs as his employer on the initial credit application, renders the debt nondischargeable pursuant to section 523(a)(2). The Court cannot agree.
Assuming arguendo that the name of his employer was material and that a failure to inform the Borgata that his employment had changed would make the earlier truthful written statement a materially false one, the Borgata still fails to meet its burden under section 523(a)(2)(A) or (B) because the Borgata was informed that the Debtor was no longer at Goldman Sachs in January 2009, and did not justifiably or reasonably rely on that fact.
The Court has found that the Borgata learned that the Debtor was no longer employed at Goldman Sachs in January 2009. As the Debtor testified at trial (in testimony the Court found, notwithstanding argument to the contrary, to be credible), the Debtor was contacted by a Borga-ta employee in January 2009 and notified her at that time that he was no longer employed by Goldman Sachs. Thus, the Borgata was aware of the change in the Debtor’s employment well before it extended the $110,000 in credit on April 2 and April 3, 2009. The Borgata was not defrauded in this respect, and similarly cannot argue that it justifiably or reasonably relied on the Debtor’s employment at Goldman Sachs in extending him this credit.
Conclusion
For the reasons set forth above, judgment will be entered in favor of Defendant Park. Pursuant to the requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P. 58 (as made applicable to adversary proceedings under Fed.R.Bankr.P. 7058), counsel for Defendant-Debtor Park is to settle a separate standalone judgment in his favor consistent with this Decision. The time to appeal from the resulting judgment will run from the date of its entry, and not from the date of this Decision.
