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?
