I heard a rumour today that if banks etc. see online gambling on your statements etc. you can be denied a mortgage...you'd like to think it'd only be substantial gambling, but still.

I play these most days. I have my moments on them but half the time it's difficult to walk away when you feel it's easy mindless profit.FoBT addiction is fucking grim btw. Almost feel sorry for those guys.
I think so, yeah. I'm not out of control in my eyes, I go in with a viewpoint of getting say £100 profit or £150 profit, I get that and get out.'Most days' wouldn't seem too great mate, do you think you could stop playing them if you wanted to?
What I particularly take exception to is the stupid strap line 'When the fun stops, Stop'. How fucking ridiculous is that. It's like saying to an alcoholic 'When you feel yourself getting a bit tipsy it's time to switch to soft drinks'.
I've watched people pour 1000's into those machines, convinced they know what the next number is going to be. I've been in some shops where people have proper lost it, picking up stools and smashing the machines. Saw one guy once in my local bookies pick up a stool and smash the 52" telly on the wall, not once, but 6 times, just to make sure it was proper smashed. He then just walked out.
I heard this before.
My understanding is it is only for high risk lenders.
So if your credit is really good and comfortable to afford a mortgage you’ll be fine.
But if you are considered a risk gambling transactions can be seen as more of a problem.
Also saw if you've a lot of money coming in and going out as cash withdrawals etc. you can be asked to close your account in 60 days if you're even suspected of money laundering.
If you're suspected of this you can have a Cat. 6 CIFAS marker put on your account which means you're pretty fucked.
Part of the reason I generally leave my winnings in my account and only withdrawal when I have a sizeable balance as they have little idea of how much I actually gamble. It also has the advantage of easily keeping track of my profit/loss.

I do agree, they prey on the weak.I see some guys who get paid cash in hand just walk in and start feeding the machine.
Sad really, those machines should be banned.
I thought a lot of the sites only do soft searches on your credit record?
not that my credit record is any good after years of spending beyond my means... match betting means im sorting it out, if that stops me getting a mortage i'll just keep renting i wont stop betting.
