The minimum deposit to play online is now £10... It used to be a fiver but they recently DOUBLED that too, so now you have to gamble twice as much as you used to! At least if you buy in a shop you only have to commit to one ticket at a time!

Yes, the minimum deposit to put funds into the account is £10, BUT from those funds you can buy one ticket at a time. No-one has to gamble anything unless they want to. No-one forces them. Why do you HAVE to gamble twice as much as you used to? I don't understand your logic.

I understand it perfectly well, as would anyone who knows the kind of tactics used in getting people to spend more money than they can afford.

On the matter of the £1m winner, a 'Miss' you say?

Can't see any difference in doing it online and going to the newsagents with £10 in your purse. No-one forces you to spend more than £1 if you don't want to. I understand fully the temptations put in front of some people, but the statement I was questioning was "now you have to gamble twice as much as you used to". HAVE to? Why?

Durr... because once you buy one ticket what can you do with the rest of the money except buy another ticket... then another etc... 5 tickets used to cost 5 pounds and now they will soon cost 10 pounds... Thats double.

He means that once you deposit your £10 the only thing you can do is buy lottery tickets that you may not even want.

It's not that difficult to comprehend.

Yes I understand that. So why do it in the first place? Again, no-one makes you have a lottery account!

Can you not just transfer your balance back to your bank account in the same way as you transfer your winnings?

Yes you can, which makes his statement that you have to spend it on more lottery tickets seem even more strange.

Maybe people who, through ill health, can't get out and about to buy a single ticket at a shop and so are forced to do it online and spend at least £10 for the privilege.

It's obvious you have quite a comfortable like but try taking those blinkers off once in a while..

How much do you think it would cost to do millions of £1 transactions online? Get real.

Furthermore, and finally, on this subject; you talk as if a lottery ticket is an essential in life. It's not bread or milk. It's gambling. We both know, Pornstar, that if it wasn't me making these comments you probably wouldn't have bothered to prolong this discussion. Let's at least be honest about that shall we? And let's leave it at that. Remember: dignity at all times...

The only one out of you me and Pornstar? Hardly overwhelming is it? One out of three though: better odds than the lottery...

Perhaps you should have asked your UKIP recruitment buddies to wade in and help you out.

And I will say this one last time; it's PRONSTAR not PORNSTAR.

UKIP? What the heck are you on about? I despise them and everything they stand for. There is no way you have ever, ever seen me write anything in support of those people and what they represent. In fact I have spoken against them on many occasions. You have resorted to the basest of insults because you don't agree with my views. I don't agree with yours either, but I would never stoop so low as to accuse someone of belonging to UKIP! What on earth were you thinking? Now, as I said earlier, for goodness sake let's just leave it shall we, and try and retain some dignity. I'm not a facist, you're not a **** star. However, you may want to check the definition of pronstar. You probably didn't realise it was a proper word. Neither did I. Sorry.

It seems simple to me.
First of all you do not have to take part. If you do you can choose to buy a ticket online and have to deposit a minimum of £10, then spend £1 buying a ticket and then refund £9 back into your bank . Just the same as using a £10 note for a £1 ticket over the counter and getting your £9 change.
