Is it a good idea to deposit casino winnings into your bank?

£20,000-30,000.

Would they think you were a drug dealer or something and inform HMRC and/or Police?

As long as you obtained the money legally what have you got to worry about?

RobSmith · 16 Feb 2012 at 20:52

No. Do you have a receipt or the likes of your winnings from the casino?

robfosters · 16 Feb 2012 at 20:52

Not for that much I doubt it. It's not as if your walking in and plonking it on the counter, they can see where it's come from.

What if they start an investigation and start surveilling said person.

Also, very thinly-veiled "I'm good at poker" thread imo.

Yeah sure, just give me the account no and sort code...

It wouldn't even cause a ripple. Try winning some real money.

It's odd it's only to my landlords bank, i can transfer it to a friend to forward it on just fine.
