They should be giving you the option because they aren't required to obtain your Social Security number. This is from the WSOP, but it would be the same for any casino since it deals with the US Tax Code. Personally I wouldn't give it to anyone. Since they never told you that you had an option, which brings up red flags for me, I definitely wouldn't give it to them. That's me though, and everyone has to make decisions for themselves.

"What must I provide to collect Tournament Winnings?–
Winners must show their current valid picture identification (driver’s license, state identification card, military identification card, U.S. passport or U.S. passport card) acceptable to Caesars Entertainment in order to collect prizes. Any ID without an address will require a secondary unexpired government ID that can verify the physical address. If a participant is not a U.S. citizen, a current passport, consular identification, or alien registration card is required. Additionally, non-U.S. citizens must provide documentation verifying their current physical address.

[B]For prizes exceeding $5,000 net the event buy-in, winners must also provide:

U.S. Residents[/B]: A [B]Social Security Number[/B].
[B]U.S. residents not providing a Social Security Number will be subject to 28% tax withholding[/B]."
