moving home

[thefreshness]

Hey folks, ain't posted here for a while so feel a bit bad asking for advice but invested my gambling winning's into other venture's so in semi-retirement just now ha ha.

I will be buying my friends house next month and he's gonna rent a room till he gets himself a new house. He's gonna have shed-loads of cash from the sale ( and il be skint) and I'm telling him to invest a bit in the bookies.

My accounts are all registered at my old address and I don't plan on transferring all the accounts to the new address, especially since I probably wont be using them anymore. But when I move I'm not sure if I will be affected by the one account per household rule.

Any thoughts?

Your friend should be fine to invest/gamble at any bookies he wants to with you giving him advice from the sounds of it.

You wont be able to do it too though, even if you moved house it doesnt matter all the T&Cs say (usually) one offer per person, and you are the same person, so thats that then. Although you could probably get away with it for quite a while it is Sods Law that the time you win £X thousand at a site that will be the time they check properly and find two accounts and they void the win and you would be up a creek without a paddle.

Im not sure what the question was really though? If it was "Can I open up a whole load of new accounts now with the new address" well you shouldn't but possibly you could for a bit but you are playing with fire and it is not worth the risk.

hey thanks for the advice andy. defo wont be opening any new accounts in my name, and wont be using my old accounts either. just worried about being the homeowner with dormant old accounts and my flat mate breaking the one account per house-hold rule when he opens up new accounts

I dont think that would be a problem, nobody would know you had bought the house off him (well no bookmakers). As long as he can prove he lives there (ie still pays some bills/has bank statements then that should be fine.

I think that, I havnt actually tried it.
