Credit Score effect by Online Gambling?

Hi,
I was just wondering if I could get any help with something i heard from someone working at a bank. Is it true that if i gamble online using my current account debit card, that a fraud marker is placed on my account and therefore effects my credit rating. Is this true, i heard it from a fairly reliable source but he sometimes talks rubbish. Should i be worried or not? I gamble regularly and there is constantly money flowing in and out of the account.
Thank you
Ryan

I gamble online a fair bit and there is nothing on my credit report about it.
That isn't true. Its just a transaction like any other.
Unless fraud occurs on your account (and you report it), nothing will be on the report about how you spend your money (be it on clothes, poker or otherwise).0 -
why would gambling give you a fraud marker?!
Continue gambling, dont worry and good luck - any tips aim them my way......0
