    Native American Casino - W9 required - filled wrong SSN

    I was playing blackjack at an Native American casino. I had a losing game and lost around $15K in one session. At the end of the session, I wanted to buy in more but I was required to sign a form and fill in my SSN or pit boss won’t allow me to buy in more. Pit boss told me the information is only for casino internal record. I asked to take a picture of the form after I signed, but bit boss refused. Later I realized that was a W9 form. I bought in roughly another $3K after and lost that hand, sadly. I cashed out about $2000 in the end. After I came home, I checked my social security card and found the SSN I filled in was wrong by one digit (I mixed up the number).

    I found that W9 was required and signed by individuals such that it was my responsibility to provide the correct number. Am I going to get in trouble? What could be done at this moment?

    I thought about it now, would I rather clarify it with IRS myself? If I call in the casino, wouldn’t they have my SSN?

    I usually avoid playing high stakes so that in case I encounter a horrible run, I don't want to exceed 10k loss. Once a player buys more than 10k, a tax form must be filled and the player Id is submitted to the casino. Personally, I don't think you should be worried about the mistake you did as one paper does not mean much to the government. It is only when several papers are collected from different casinos that show that a specific name is throwing out tons of $ in casinos then the IRS will start to enquire where that money is coming from in order to make sure that it is legitimate. So, forget what happened and think about the future. Reflect about the reasons that caused your loss. Were you chasing your losses in a negative count? Perhaps, you did not use the count correctly or you used a count that is not accurate...

    Thank you so much Tex!!!!! You make me feel so much better. Now I think about it, it wasn’t really too terrible of a session. I was just betting too much money. I had a very good reflection, and this is a good lesson for me. I’m back to where i was before this lost now.
