Gambling while claming Benefits
Comments

There is a perfectly clear guide on the MB board.
MB is NOT gambling, and any discussion of gambling on the MB board is reported by the ever vigilant* board guide there
*normally vigilant, but the BG had a very heavy day today!!!!!
OP, maybe you would like to change the title of your initial post so it is more accurate - you should understand that you are not gambling, so I wonder why you have used the word gambling in your title. Unless you are trolling, of course.
IF (big if) your original question is genuine, search the MB board for 'moneybookers', which will avoid mention of gambling sites on your bank statements.Ex board guide. Signature now changed (if you know, you know).0 -
can u do Matched Betting while being on Child Support and JSA?
my JC sometimes asks for Bank Statements and there maybe few entries to bookies etc..
Wait!!! So are you not spending your Child support on your child?
Perhaps you'll have less money to spend when you have to pay council tax out of your JSAIt's better to regret something I did do than to regret something that I didn’t. :EasterBun0 -
Disappointing to see negative comments here - ANYONE can have a run of bad luck. It doesn't mean that all pleasures or attempts to improve their lot must be denied. After all the compers here are trying to get something for nothing aren't we?0

The OP did not say that, did they?
Sorry to disappoint you, but not everyone on JSA will have to pay council tax. The new scheme is being decided on a local basis, and some are still awarding full "support" to those on means tested benefits.0 -
