Is gambling debt enforcable?

You should also be aware that many EU states have reciprocal treaties with the UK, enabling them to chase debts incurred in one jurisdiction in another country. This means that the Irish debt may also be legally enforceable within the UK, and would enable them to wreck your credit rating and take you to court just as effectively as any UK based agency.

Contact each company and try to come to payment arrangements with them. Your credit will be wrecked for six years if defaults are applied, but at least you will be facing the situation. Ask that interest be frozen until your circumstances improve.

Then stop gambling. There are lots of groups available to assist you.

Traditionally, gambling debts were not enforceable because there was no tangible loss to the bookmaker. In law, they could write off the notional debt and then ban you.

Personally, I think that this is a quite a morally-defensible position... but then I don't really see the point of gambling.
