Does the Official receiver not like gamblers

Hiya Just filling out BR forms and there is a section relating to gambling, is this wise to own up to, I think i read somewhere that you get penalised extra for gambling is this true?

Posthinking

It depends on the extent to which gambling has contributed towards your BR. I'll look for the link and get back but fermi will probably beat me to it

Always, ALWAYS, be honest in this situation. have a look here http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/guidanceleaflets/bro/bro.htm The worst that can happen is an extension of the BR limitations

Fermi whistles and waits for the link to appear, as he can't remember where he found it last time.:p

EDIT: And its there as I wrote that.

I don't know if they'll be interested in my contribution to the gambling section - I put £10 in the 'how much have you gambled over the last x amount of time'. Guess I've done that much on the national lottery (and it's on my bank account statements from playing online, so better own up to it, but still - £10 can't be that bad can it? :S)

I think £200 a week is more likely to irate the OR!! Even then it depends what income was there. It's only severe cases of gambling that are a potential problem
