Relief From Gambling Debt

Gambling debt is money you owe from betting, whether it landed on credit cards, cash advances, or loans, and bankruptcy treats it like any other unsecured debt. That means Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 can wipe out or restructure what you owe. No judgment here, just a clear path out.

Qualifying filers may be eligible for our $999 flat fee Chapter 7.

How bankruptcy clears gambling debt

Money you lost betting, whether on credit cards, cash advances, or loans, is unsecured debt. In most cases it can be discharged in Chapter 7 or folded into a Chapter 13 plan you can actually afford.

When Chapter 7 fits

  • You want to wipe out gambling debt completely
  • Your income is below median or you pass the means test (an income cutoff)
  • You do not have much unprotected property (property a bankruptcy exemption does not cover)
  • You want to be done in a few months
  • Creditors and collectors are calling

When Chapter 13 fits

  • You earn too much to pass the means test
  • You want to protect assets a Chapter 7 might reach
  • You are behind on a house or car you want to keep
  • You can handle a manageable monthly plan
  • You want to consolidate everything into one payment
