Hi
They won't look upon you as a freak but they will be sterner. Gambling is one reason for BRU's (bankcruptcy restriction undertaking)being imposed. Check out www.insolvency.gov.uk and have a look at the why BRU where imposed there.Dx

Gambling can be seen as an adiction, so no you wont get seen as a freak, you shouldnt be treated any differantly to be honest, although sorting through your accounts may be a bit more complex.

A BRU is usually imposed if the OR thinks you may just start again, this is to protect both you and the creditors, its not really a punishment as such, more a hand to help stop you getting in a mess again by giving you time to get your urge to gamble under control
