gaming transactions on bank statement

Hi all

Application for mortgage has been recevied by the bank today.
Worried about my bank statements.
Over the past 3 months there are about 20 transactions for a mobie phone gaming company. I only bet 10 pounds at a time and over 3 months this comes to about 60 pounds a month.
Will underwriters look at this badly?
This was my disposable income at the time. I'm not a manic gambler but i do like to have a bet or two at the weekends ;)

I was in my overdraft but did a 0% balance transfer to clear the overdraft and now paying it back 0% on a credit card.

Mortgage application is with the Woolwich.
We are applying for a ltv of 80%
Our broker has said that affordability is fine but worried sick!

Thanks

  • Thanks guys :)

    Been mega-stressing!

    To add to the points above, it should be fine then - all my bills come out each month - no returned payments. I was worried because like scotmac said, they look at your monthly outgoings? Do these transactions not count as monthly outgoings?
    I gues its no different to seeing 20 transanctions from Primark then?

    Thanks
