American English doesn't typically denote sarcasm with punctuation. Thanks!"Thanks!" is genuine. But emphasis or additional words can make it sarcastic:

  • Gee, thanks.
  • Gee, thanks.
  • Thanks *a lot*. Thanks a lot.

I've also seen younger generations (born 1990+) use trailing letters to denote additional emotion that is not necessarily sarcastic: Thanksssssssssssss! I"Thanksssssssssssss!" I don't get it.
