If you're verified and you're just using tokens to tip other people, you'll never be asked for a W-9. If you cash out tokens and get real money for them, they send a request for a W-9. They're SUPPOSED to do it after you cash out $600 or more in tokens but I think I was $6,000 into it when they asked for mine. So many models quit before they hit that threshold it's not worth the record keeping until they do.
