Fearing the Risk of Online Casino Sites
There have been talks for years now about the actual rates of problem gambling
in the online casino gambling industry and if a regular gambling habit is an
early warning sign of addiction. Basically, there are perfectly healthy gamblers
that engage in weekly and monthly gambling play at the online casinos – and
while these gamblers may never develop a negative and costly gambling addiction,
a newly cautious banking industry in Ireland is considering and possibly reject
the mortgage applications of internet gamblers who deposit money into gambling
accounts on a monthly basis. This practice has only really just started heavily
in the past couple of months as banks are more cautious about loaning funds in
the current tough economy.
What’s really striking is that you don’t even have to be a high roller to be at
risk of discrimination – even weekly amounts of Euro 40 withdrawn from a bank
account and used to fund online casino gambling could disqualify an application.
This new should serve as adequate warning for online casino gamblers considering
buying a house in the upcoming future. There is no out-right agreeable way to
determine if an application will be turned down because of internet gambling
activity – any activity is looked at as negative right now.
This latest warning to online casino gamblers comes from the Independent
Mortgages Advisers Federation (IMAF). Applications have and will be rejected if
there is a chance that the gambler may develop an online casino gambling
addiction, banks just don’t want to risk it with the current global financial
crises as it is. |
