The World Series of Poker states they're still able to issue individual taxpayer identification numbers, contrary to rumors that changes will cause issues for players outside the U.S.
"We have no problems issuing ITINs, not last year and not this year," said Seth Palansky, vice president of corporate communications for Caesars Interactive Entertainment Inc. and the World Series of Poker.
This news comes after Russell Fox, a lawyer in Vegas at Clayton Financial and Tax, released a statement about ITINs and how all casinos would need to shift.
Fox recently published a post on the Taxable Talk blog that this situation has changed:
"On Friday, the IRS sent a major casino here in Las Vegas a letter informing them that because of a provision in the PATH Act no one but the IRS can issue ITINs.
