Hi , I’ve had the occasional win on the slots and bingo anything up to £500
Not every month , just occasionally !
Would that affect my Iva ??
I think I may have read my contract wrong and now I’m worried
Thanks ?

Wins under £500 are yours to keep, those over £500 get paid in to the IVA. Gambling in itself is not at issue, unless it becomes a problem or was a contributory factor in your debt. Funding might be an issue -- if you can afford to potentially lose, say £100 regularly, then you should, arguably, be paying this to your creditors instead.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
