Any one ever put in their SSN in a sportsbook?

If so, will is appear on my record or anything?

Or will the government start to mail me or something?


Thanks!

I wouldnt do it. They normally ask if you win a certain amount so the check can be mailed. Then you may have a problem. Go to a different book.

Yes anything over 10K ...including what you bet on the ticket 
 ( I learned that the hard way ). 

No . for they're records only. ( so i was told ) .


bets over 10K  , Multible ticks and casinos ( simple )  


I've never signed up for one of those accounts at any Book ( f-that ) ...they might ask for it then?

So if I am lucky enough to win 15K in a Vegas sportsbook I should not collect the winnings?  Because I'd have to give my SSN to collect more than 10K.

you've been misinformed...(or you're simply uneducated) you could win 100k  at a LV sportsbook and there is no federal or state policy the states "you have to give the book your SSN to collect your winnings over 10k"  anyone who has ever placed a wager in a Nevada sportsbook understands what I am saying, without having to go into an in-depth essay, and those that cashed tickets beyond 10k understand the formula of Nevada gaming procedures...look at it like this; you're shooting craps, you're on fire and you have the dice, you just miraculously hit for 60k, do think they stop the game and ask for your SSN and personal data? of course not! you pick up your chips walk to the cashier, and 'cash' out...no name, no SSN...this conception holds true for all table games, slots, Poker, and sportsbook betting.

thorpe,

the 10k comes from the front (a money laundering enactment) and has nothing to do with taxation, however, when placing a wager of over 10k one must then present his ID & SSN to the feds by way of a form that the sportsbook is obligated by federal law to provide,(if you're not an American National you then must present your passport) still, it's the feds that get your SSN # not the book. this statue is just about impossible to enforce, you're betting 20k; you pound $9,999 twice...case closed....happens every day. with the understanding that "you don't pay taxes on money that you win by a gambling methodology" based upon the fact that it's an unrecorded income...take care
