Does matched betting affect getting a home loan?

Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. The info provided below is based on anecdotal evidence that has been gathered from our members over many years.

Provided that you have followed the advice of setting up separate bank accounts for your betting transactions, matched betting should not affect your home loan application.

When applying for a home loan most banks will want to see your daily driver account for your usual expenses and, more importantly, your working income. By keeping your matched betting banking separate from your day to day banking any doubt cast on bookmaker deposits can be avoided altogether.

As a counter point to this, lenders will not accept matched betting as an income stream, however your bankroll can be put towards a deposit.
