Hiya all
I started playing at worldwinner.com lately as I love the puzzle games etc and have done alright, but noticed my prizes werent as advertised - apparently they have been taking out 30% for tax...WTF?? Im not even a US resident!
Ive been told by them that I have to mail some form etc to the IRS with 27 forms of ID all signed by our Prime Minister etc etc and the IRS will send me a tax ID - then I may be able to stop the tax being taken out if I also submit some other form but I have to wait to get my tax ID.
It just seems stupid - why would I pay tax when Im not a US citizen?
Anyone have any advice? At present they have over $500 of mine in winnings
(Note to MAX - sorry i know this isnt strictly a casino but I felt it wouldnt get a response in the lower forums)
