Was the most amount you ever made online?

The new report states the UK's internet industry is worth £100bn.
Love it! the UK is always punching above its weight i think :smile:

But in honesty,
How many of us actually make money online though?
Most of these are probably corporations who don't even pay UK tax.

Very optimistic for a country that can barely maintain an internet connection.

Can you let me in on the secret? :wink:
I made £150 from a betting site once. But then I walked away. It can be a fickle game, you can end up spending loads of money, just pissing it away.
does eBay count? I've made quite a few quid on there buying and selling video games and trading cards
About £175,000
Ive made a couple of hundred in the past few months from risk free betting (i dont have the time for matched betting rn and this is easy)
25 on bingo

Like i said ordinary people hardly ever make money online. what is the use for the united kingdom of all these site are making millions or billions and hardly anyone of them is either recruiting well or paying enough tax?

Google this year paid 20 million of £3.+ billion profits in the UK. This is disappointing. If we all made good money online atleast our economy would have benefited but instead other big site in the states are only here to grab money from the British economy. So can you blame China for blocking google and facebook?

I played online poker full time for around 6 years and sell goods on ebay.

I know several people who made my earnings look like pocket money.
