No, they usually just need your name, address and sometimes a photo ID.

It works in most MGM casinos. One exception is Railroad Pass. I believe there may be others.

Your MGM card should work at all of their properties if it has MGM Mirage Players Club printed on the front.

The MGM card is not good at Foxwoods MGM.

They can ask for your SSN, but you don't have to give it.

Speaking of MGM, in case anyone hasn't heard, the MGM AC property adjacent to Borgata is on hold.

They *need* it for currency transaction registers, but that's it.

MGM Player's club cards don't work at Circus Circuros or Slotsofun, either.

They won't need it unless you hit the lucky number cashing out and it will be reported to the IRS.

As in the government forces them to force you to give it to them if you cash out more than $10,000. The rule originated to help curb money laundering.
