Date: Wed Nov 14, 2007 9:13 pm ((PST))Your question about when to "throw" a game when on the verge of
winning more than $1199.99 is interesting. Some players to avoid a W-
2G recruit a nearby player to collect the winnings and sign the tax
form.
I would suggest you do this with great caution - I know at least one employee of the IRS who also plays video poker, and is meticulously honest about his reporting (of course, it's his job if he's not, and gets caught) -- and I'm sure there are others playing near you who are honest about their taxes and will feel compelled to turn you in!
So, not only is it illegal, you could actually get caught (some people say nothing is illegal, unless you get caught).
