Search isn't working well but there is info in the Poker forum.

If you are Irish and win big in the US there is a form you have to fill out and provided you have proper ID with address on it, you don't pay any tax, however some places deduct the tax anyway and you have to claim it back after you come back to Ireland.

Most places are fine but for the ones who deduct anyway you would need some sort tax documentation (waiver iirc) sorted before traveling.

Ask for an ITIN in the casino you're staying in when you get there. You'll get the lot once you have the ITIN. They'll be happy to give you chips, cash or cheque. You will be asked to declare $10k+ going over and coming back.

Here is the search link with more info in the results, if it works.
