Big thanks to all of you. Just what I needed, confirmation that it is possible and some advice.

Locking the thread.

Start Electrum in "TestNet" mode... create a new wallet and then give me one of your TestNet addresses from that wallet (feel free to PM me if you prefer)... I'll send you some tBTC to play with. You'll be able to test the spending from specific addresses and/or specific UTXOs Wink

I'll take you up on that offer and send you a PM later today when I get home and start electrum in test mode.

I also advise the Testnet, especially if OP uses Electrum 4+, where it's not as straightforward as in the older versions.

In the Addresses tab select the address you want and right-click => Spend From
This will add a line to the bottom of the Electrum window.

Now you can go to Send tab and spend. It will use only the "spend from" address.

I advise you also have in Preferences (Transactions) Advanced Preview checked.

Never tried to do this and at the moment I don't have an easy way to test so I would appreciate if somebody can confirm following.

2. When I need to pay out the rewards I can go to coins tab and right click the address from which I intend to pay out and just select spend. The money sent will be just from that one address.

Basically, yes. In the "Coins" tab, you will see the same address more than once if it received more than a one transaction. You could also select all UTXOs for a specific address at once by going into "Addresses" tab, right-clicking it and selecting "Spend" instead of selecting them manually in the "Coins" tab with CTRL and LMB.

Never tried to do this and at the moment I don't have an easy way to test so I would appreciate if somebody can confirm following. Googled it a bit and sounds quite straightforward.

1. I plan to escrow money for two small gambling pools and I will use 2 different addresses from same electrum wallet to collect them
2. When I need to pay out the rewards I can go to coins tab and right click the address from which I intend to pay out and just select spend. The money sent will be just from that one address.
