That\u2019s because those amounts of action trigger Uncle Sam to demand its piece, and strict rules are in place to ensure that it always gets it.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p>Non-US residents also get taxed at a rate as high as 30%.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<figure id=\"attachment_294939\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-294939\" data-style=\"width: 1141px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-294939\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cashier-858x428.jpg\" alt=\"Casino winnings stored\" width=\"1141\" height=\"569\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cashier-858x428.jpg 858w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cashier-430x214.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/cashier.jpg 1111w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1141px) 100vw, 1141px\" \/><figcaption  id=\"caption-attachment-294939\"class=\"text-description\">Casinos must store unclaimed winnings in their cages until they can legitimately be claimed by their winners.

(See the \u201cReasons Casinos <em>Can<\/em> Deny Payment\u201d section below.)<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"callout\">\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If the screaming woman ever sufficiently calmed down, she would have been given a deadline to return to the casino with a copy of the claim form and a valid ID and Social Security\/tax ID number. The minimum time varies among gambling jurisdictions but is always sufficient for most people to renew an expired ID or research a misplaced or forgotten Social Security number.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Usually, it\u2019s 90 days but casinos can keep the unclaimed cash on hand for as long as they wish, and many do.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Our research revealed no single lawsuit, though many would likely have been filed if the time allotted was routinely insufficient.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Reasons Casinos <em>Can <\/em>Deny Payment<\/h2>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><strong>You\u2019re underage:<\/strong> The minimum age for gambling varies from state to state, but being underage always forfeits your jackpot and automatically renders it part of the casino\u2019s revenue. This rule has been challenged several times and always holds up.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Your name is in a deadbeat database:<\/strong> In Nevada, winning more than $1,200 means your name will be run through a database of people who owe unpaid state fines, have outstanding restitution judgments against them, or owe child support in Nevada. If your name comes up, the casino must either hold your money until it hears back from the state or pay your jackpot directly to the state and let it determine where it goes. Although Nevada isn&#8217;t one of the participating states in the Gambling Intercept Program, this federal\/state\/tribal initiative confiscates gambling winnings in most other states with legal gambling from anyone listed in that database who owes child support anywhere in the US.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>You&#8217;ve enrolled in the self-exclusion list:<\/strong> This voluntary program, offered through states and tribes, helps addicts trying not to gamble by refusing to allow them into casinos. Enrollees in this typically last-ditch effort not only can\u2019t get gambling winnings paid out, they can also be trespassed and in the future, arrested for attempting to enter the same casino.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>You claim someone else\u2019s winnings, or someone else claims yours:<\/strong> Only the rightful winner of a jackpot can collect it. This even includes taking <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/vegas-myths-busted-youre-allowed-to-cash-out-a-slot-you-didnt-play-2\/\">a winning voucher abandoned by someone else in a slot machine.<\/a> (In Nevada, NRS 465.070 states that it is unlawful \u201cto claim, collect, or take \u2014 or attempt to claim, collect, or take \u2014 money or anything of value in or from a gambling game \u2026 without having made a wager.\u201d) Many gaming jurisdictions consider ID fraud either a misdemeanor or felony theft. And, since all jackpots over $1,200 are also verified by surveillance, this is a crime there is literally no chance of getting away with.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><strong>Machine malfunction:<\/strong> Though freakishly rare, sometimes a slot machine will show a jackpot win that never occurred. Manufacturers call this a \u201cdisplay error.\u201d One seen multiple times over the years has been the $42,949,672.96 win. That\u2019s because a line of code can, under the right conditions, trigger a \u201cwin\u201d of 2 to the 32nd power, which is 42,949,672,96.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Despite what you see on TikTok, casinos never use unfair or illegal methods to relieve their customers of money because they would risk their operating licenses.<\/p>\r\n<p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n<p>Besides, casino odds themselves accomplish this for them with spectacular efficiency.<br \/><strong><br \/>Look for \u201cVegas Myths Busted\u201d every Monday on <\/strong><em><strong>Casino.org.
