cheers for digging that out. so basically i am fucked then??

Househusband could be a good one, retired at your age with alot of money sounds like a drug dealer.  it was me who cancelled that policy above.  Occupations do not have a rating at that company tho.

I can fully see the insurance company's perspective - professional poker player probably means travelling up and down the country at all hours leaving your car unattended in some dodgy car park whilst carry larges amounts of cash. This all adds up to a lot more risk than an old retired geezer driving to his allotment on a sunday morning.

If you misrepresent your occupation then you are just asking for trouble, imagine you are a well know who gets his brand new M5 nicked from the Casino car park 200 miles from home. I would be certain that the insurance company ask more than the odd question and decline your claim.

Or you spend all your time playing online, don't do as many miles in your car (as you don't have to commute).  When you do play live, the car is parked in a secure car park with CCTV and security.

What happens if my car gets nicked from a casino car park 200 miles from my home?  If it was parked at a church and stolen - would that make me a priest?

I  would think an online pro would be different from a circuit pro.  If your main crust comes from playing 12 tables at a time from home your not using the car in connection with your occupation.  Its a bit of a grey area, I would think the best course of action would be to speak with insurers direct and explain the situation.

Can't you just phone a different insurance company and ask them "Which option shall I select as a poker player?"

Get your answer, then go back to the insurance company you actually want to use and use the one you were advised to use.

it wouldnt be the job title i was advised by the company actaully insuring me thou lol

[Jon MW]

If you contact the company to ask them which one to use then you should do it by email.

That way if they dispute it at a later date you can easily find the proof that's what they said.

it might have been colclough who nudged me a year or so back that i should check that my insurance was still valid, i'd been a draughtsman for years but after i made the switch to poker pro it never crossed my mind to inform churchill or whoever it was.
i got in touch & they cancelled my car & house insurance immediately, citing me as high risk, yeah right.
luckily direct line took our money & it wasn't alot more than we had been paying.
