On your W-2G it may be called "Payer's TIN", or perhaps Payer's Federal ID number.   Often a Payer's TIN, EIN, Federal ID number refer to the same thing.

Or is there no TIN/EIN/Federal tax ID number at all for the Payer on the W-2G?    If that's the case, you can phone the casino business office and ask for it.   The Payer's phone number may be on the W-2G.

Here's more info on that rejection:
