The online petition can be signed by members of the public and calls for convicted rioters to have their social security benefits stopped.
The threshold for the government 'e-petition' to be referred to the Commons backbench business committee - which can table debates - is 100,000.
The petition on the Number 10 website states, "No taxpayer should have to contribute to those who have destroyed property, stolen from their community and shown a disregard for the country that provides for them."
The petition has now been formally referred to a committee which will decide whether to debate the issue.
