Sure, not getting 80 cents in ****ty comps is one thing, but for the most part people go to casinos with the hope of winning big money. The venn diagram of people who gamble in a casino and the people who would refuse to give their id to the casino and forgo $1800 just to prevent disseminating their personal info likely doesnt overlap.
If the casino is legally required to send a 1099 G for the 4 figure score, they won't pay it out without getting some form of ID.
They won't need a players card, just a valid drivers license.
And again, the percentage of no players card people who would turn down the cash is a small subset of the total, and if they don't take the money, I just call that a stupidity tax.
