The bingo player hailed as ‘Britain’s most shameless woman’ is asking for more benefits, after claims have emerged that she has spent most of her current benefits on bingo and electronic gaming machines. Julie Potten, a 38 year old Kent resident, receives £92 a week for incapacity benefits due to her mood swings.

Despite spending most of this on personal expenses, entertainment and gambling, Julie and her husband are still claiming that the council has let them down, and Julie is now requesting further benefits. She claims to be unable to work a full-time job in fear of losing her benefits, and stays in council housing – supporting her gambling habit from the subsidies she receives.

It has emerged that Julie has two children from two separate fathers, both of which were born before her current marriage. Both children live with their respective fathers, and Julie pays a very minimal maintenance. She has not seen her seven year old second-born since he was just a year old, claiming visitation rights as the reason for her lack of contact.

Her constant gaming and requests for council support have led to Julie receiving the dubious title of Britain’s most shameless woman. While Julie’s case is an extreme one, players are still advised to play responsibly at all times and to never use gambling as a means to recoup previous losses. Play online bingo responsibly, and always play within your limit.
