Won a high hand underage

Title says it all. Am 17 just won a high hand for 150. Pit boss told me I need valid ID. I played dumb and said I was a chinese foreigner and I am on a z-visa. He told me to go home and get my visa and furthermore, I cannot play at the table again until I do. What do I do here? I obviously don’t have any valid ID. I have a fake ID that scans and swipes, but if i put in my social, i’m totally ****ed over. Any tips on how I can access this 150$? Or is it just thrown away at this point?I have never been asked for ID and am figuring out what to do now. I left the casino but I have a friend who is over 18 that can cash it for me. Is it a possibility that I can ask my friend to cash it for me under their name? I took a picture of both my hole cards and the board when it came out, and I took a picture of the screen that displayed my high hand of the hour. They didn’t do anything cause they didn’t know i’m underage and I didn’t tell them a name to put the high hand under to collect later. I’m assuming its up for grabs and i’m hoping that if i give my friend this photo evidences, they can cash it and bring it back to me. If they look through the camera footage though, they will know that the friend trying to cash my high hand looks nothing like me.
They did tell me they can hold the high hand for three months or until I come back with my “passport” (which I obviously don’t have). But I didn’t leave them with my name or any type of receipt. I don’t believe the floor will remember that i’m on a z-visa, or for the matter that I’m completely different from the friend that cashes out. My plan is to send a friend in during totally different shifts because I got into this mess during the night shift. I plan on sending them during the morning or day when the people who remember me have been completely switched out. I also don’t believe that they took any of my information down at all. They simply told me I couldn’t cash it without my physical passport and that I could come back another day when I have ID. Regardless of the bonus, I was wondering if its still a risk to go back to the 1/2 tables in two weeks or so. They don’t technically know that I’m underage, but I feel like if they were to recognize me, they would sweat me over it as they have told me I cannot play at all if i don’t have any form of ID on me. I have maybe 15 sessions logged without any trouble cashing in/out. Tonight was the first night that I just got screwed over. I still want to play, but I don’t want to get into any legal troubles. For anyone wondering, it was quad 6s with a 5 kicker and everyone folded to my 7$ c-bet. I showed the table just for fun assuming that high hand only qualified if there was a showdown, but next thing you know the dealer is calling the floor over for the promotion and i’m thinking I screwed up big.

Any advice?

Honestly, not trying to claim it is best. Don't risk getting your friend banned trying to claim it for you - it's not worth it.

Don't assume casino is stupid either - they probably don't care if some underage kids play but will come down way harsher for elaborate fraud - or if you get them dinged by gaming.

This is the wrong forum for this question so after I answer this, I'm going to lock the thread.

They already presume you're underage because you weren't willing to immediately go and get your ID. You're unlikely to get this money. If they were diligent, they have your picture and you're now in their database as an underage minor. If you go back and sit at a table, there's a much greater chance they will notice you and toss you out. Don't make it worse by getting your friend banned, too.

You can fight this in court if you want and one poster on 2+2 did eventually get paid after a lot of effort. But that was a prize worth 6 figures.

My advice is to stop going there until you are of legal age. When you are, write them a letter stating that you did play underage, got caught, haven't played there since, are sorry and would like to play now that you are legally allowed.
