|

<br>[sports betting](https://octomo.co.uk/read-blog/6550_start-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks.html) minister Tracey Crouch has actually resigned over "delays" to a crackdown on optimal stakes for [fixed-odds wagering](https://social.instinxtreme.com/read-blog/13726_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>Chancellor Philip said in [Monday's Budget](https://naijamatta.com/read-blog/34814_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter into force in October 2019.<br>
|
||||
<br>Ms Crouch stated pressing back the date was "unjustifiable" and it might cost the lives of issue gamblers.<br>
|
||||
<br>She tweeted: "Politicians come and go but principles stick with us forever."<br>
|
||||
<br>Prime Minister [Theresa](https://oeclub.org/index.php/User:MalorieGriffin9) May said she was disappointed Ms Crouch had actually resigned but there had been "no delay in advancing this important procedure".<br>

|

<br>The government has actually denied Labour [declares](https://embargo.energy/index.php/User:ShaniMileham33) that MPs had been led to think the cut would come into force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019. They suggested the cut had actually been intended to be [introduced](http://www.seferpanim.com/read-blog/381_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) in April 2020.<br>
|

<br>But in her resignation letter, Ms Crouch stated: "Unfortunately, implementation of these changes are now being postponed till October 2019 due to dedications made by others to those with signed up interests.<br>

|

<br>"From the time of the statement to minimize stakes and its implementation, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>"In addition, 2 people will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, for that reason as much as any other, I think this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>
|
||||
<br>She added: "It is a truth of federal government that ministers need to follow collective obligation and can not disagree with policy, not to mention when it is policy made versus your desires connecting to your own portfolio."<br>
|

<br>'God bless'<br>

<br>Among those praising her on social networks, the [Archbishop](https://grade1d.smaportal.ae/read-blog/2406_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and courageous" adding: "May God bless her commitment to doing right."<br>
|

<br>Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted, external that she "should have big credit not just for her project but for sticking up for her concepts".<br>

<br>Fixed-odds [sports betting](https://hcsxy2024.com/read-blog/2045_why-every-cricket-fan-ought-to-try-the-all-cricket-id-gaming-platform.html) [terminals produce](https://lets.chchat.me/read-blog/1792_why-every-cricket-fan-must-try-the-all-cricket-id-gaming-platform.html) ₤ 1.8 bn in [profits](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/67_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-us-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) a year for the wagering industry, according to the Gambling Commission, external, and taxes of ₤ 400m for the government.<br>
|
||||
<br>Currently, individuals can bet approximately ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as live roulette. Anti-gambling advocates state the machines let gamers lose money too quickly, leading to addiction and social, psychological and financial issues.<br>
|
||||
<br>But bookmakers have warned the cut in stakes could result in countless outlets closing.<br>
|
||||
<br>In her reaction to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the federal government had listened to those who wanted the changes to come into impact faster than April 2020 and "had agreed that the changes ought to remain in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|
||||
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the chancellor stated the modification to fixed-odds stakes would enter into force next October at the very same time as modifications to responsibility charged on [sports betting](https://truthbook.social/read-blog/8351_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) firms based abroad but running in the UK.<br>
|
||||
<br>The federal government states co-ordinating the date of the 2 modifications would suggest the federal government would not be struck by a fall in tax revenue.<br>
