    I read that too. It's only a debit card transaction so I can't see how it would be an issue. Maybe if you are applying for a mortgage where your accounts are scrutinised, but otherwise, I didn't think it would affect it. Plus I think the bookmakers prefer your first transactions to be by debit card. After that I think PP is okay. Although, I have to admit knowing very little about the subject :D


    I *think* it could only be a problem if I was applying for something else with the same bank looking at the MSE guide of what is kept on credit files etc....
    I might actually ask next time I am in said bank and see what they have to say :)

    I want a divorce from vivatic :( tried the top ten surveys today and all said finished or words to the same effect! And it took nearly as long as completing a survey each time just to find out I couldn't do it :(

    Yes, that would be interesting to hear what they have to say. I guess ultimately you'll be returning your earnings to the same back so overall they'll see you're not a loser :T

    What do you mean "finished"? I've never seen that. The Toluna ones can screen out a fair bit but normally in the first few questions. I got screened out of 2 or 3 today.

    Gambling transactions are seen as high risk activity. They won't appear on your credit file, as such, but will have a definite effect on mortgage applications, for example. A lot of banks block gambling sites for transactions and you have to have the card parameters altered.

    Essentially if you are ever going to have to supply your bank statements to anyone, then I would not use that account for match betting :) There are alternatives to PP that the sites do accept but I am out of touch with MBing now.

    Is that the date already! Better get cracking.

    Worked job #2 on Saturday £75 earned, plus my tips covered my petrol.

    Slightly OT but did well with yellow stickers today. Bought two carrier bags full of food for a tenner at the corner shop. On a bit of a rant there were two black dustbin bags full of food in the shops bin (I put my dogs poop in and noticed) topped off with about forty apples! I've known soft fruit, bananas and pears go a bit iffy but I've never seen an apple go off - really annoys me. It's not a one-man-band either, it's a big national chain of shops - some people can't afford their food bills and they can waste perfectly food like that. The sooner they do away with all these use-by/sell-by dates and fine big stores for wastage the better! :mad::mad::mad:

    On the gambling topic, I opened a new account on an online casino (only do this when quidco cashback is equal to or more than initial bet amount) and won £81. I deposited £60, so will count £21 now and the other £60 when it is confirmed.
