    No. I am saying that if the casino has wanted to know who rented a rental car then they have figured out a way to do get the information by now.

    I believe playing unrated can draw heat. Where you play on a regular basis, you should probably play rated, and take other precautions--smaller spread, don't be greedy, bank some losses, etc. In places you visit infrequently, you can play unrated and spread more aggressively, and -- wear a hat, don't wear a hat, shave, don't shave, wear glasses, don't wear glasses, etc.

    Good advice - I'm considering the occasional use of a perfectly-placed facial mole

    What if you (Jimmy) get banned, wait 1 year, legally change your name (to Fred), and change your appearance... And you ONLY play machines.... What are the chances of them figuring out that Fred is indeed their old Jimmy?

    (Fred has credit cards, drivers license, and a passport, all saying Fred, and looks very different than Jimmy)

    Do casinos have the authority to try to contact Fred's personal connections, such as Fred's credit card company (or anyone else), and ask if Fred used to be named Jimmy?

    Lots of questions but maybe unnecessary for you at this time. What are your stakes, how big are you spreading, are you playing at a local casino or in places like Las Vegas. Are you needlessly worrying or have you been backed off.

    Its very common for dealer to ask an ID, it’s common for dealer to check age, throw the ID back to player and forget about it, go back to dealing. I have seen the pit also looking at ID, giving it back to player and walking away. They have too many things to do and are not off the mindset that every young millennial is a card counter.

    Now, however, if you have been sitting at the table for some time, the pit comes over and ask for your ID again, refuse and if they insist, leave.

    Do you plan on going through the rigamarol of changing your SS# too? If not, what if you hit a taxable?

    It's really hard to change your SS# (unless you are in the Federal witness protection program or something).

    I read that if your religion opposes certain numbers or sequence of numbers that its means for changing your SSN.
