States have different minimum gambling ages, but winnings that you win while underage are always forfeited and immediately deducted from the casino's earnings. However, casinos have the right to hold unclaimed cash indefinitely, and many do. In many cases, this period can be up to 90 days.
The timeframe for claiming winnings varies, often providing sufficient periods for individuals to renew an expired ID or remember a misplaced Social Security number. If a player's ID is expired, most casinos will take a photograph of the winner, hold the winnings, and wait for the player to produce a valid form of identification. However, it does not mean that the winnings are forfeited. An expired driver's license or ID can indeed be a roadblock to collecting your jackpot.
