If I don't gamble for a few months and then go for a mortgage will it be okay?
It depends how much you gamble. If after your rent, bills, travel, food, etc you have a disposable income of say £800 and you’re gambling £50-£100 per month they won’t bat an eyelid.
If you’re gambling a lot more then it’s not a good look. They’ll also look at the bigger picture and how your gambling has effected other parts of your finances like account conduct (how overdrawn are you, do you bounce direct debits) your overall debt levels and lending history, shit like that.
