<br>[sports betting](http://woorichat.com/read-blog/10289_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) minister Tracey Crouch has resigned over "delays" to a [crackdown](https://alumni.myra.ac.in/read-blog/148625_the-history-of-the-nfl-and-how-to-bet-on-it.html) on for fixed-odds [sports betting](https://genzkenya.co.ke/read-blog/87_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>Chancellor Philip Hammond said in Monday's Budget that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter force in October 2019.<br>
|
||||
<br>Ms Crouch stated pressing back the date was "unjustifiable" and it might cost the lives of problem bettors.<br>
|
||||
<br>She tweeted: "Politicians reoccur but concepts stick with us permanently."<br>
|
||||
<br>Prime Minister Theresa May said she was dissatisfied Ms Crouch had resigned but there had actually been "no delay in bringing forward this essential procedure".<br>

|
||||
<br>The government has rejected Labour declares that MPs had actually been led to believe the cut would enter force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019. They [recommended](https://dokuwiki.stream/wiki/User:WiltonMarzano) the cut had been planned to be [introduced](https://naijamatta.com/read-blog/34891_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) in April 2020.<br>
|
||||
<br>But in her [resignation](https://35.237.164.2/wiki/User:StacieCastella4) letter, Ms Crouch said: "Unfortunately, execution of these changes are now being delayed 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](https://higgledy-piggledy.xyz/index.php/User:MableShimp64) and its application, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these devices.<br>
|

<br>"In addition, two people will tragically take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, for that factor as much as any other, I think this delay is unjustifiable."<br>
|

<br>She included: "It is a truth of federal government that ministers must stick to collective duty and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made against your desires connecting to your own portfolio."<br>
|

<br>'God bless'<br>
|

<br>Among those praising her on social media, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and bold" including: "May God bless her dedication to doing right."<br>
|

<br>Former [foreign secretary](https://blablasell.com/read-blog/11941_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) Boris Johnson tweeted, external that she "deserves huge credit not simply for her project but for sticking up for her concepts".<br>

<br>Fixed-odds [sports betting](https://cheere.org/read-blog/36223_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) terminals produce ₤ 1.8 bn in earnings a year for the wagering market, according to the [Gambling](https://jimsusefultools.com/index.php/User:BarryRicketts) Commission, external, and taxes of ₤ 400m for the federal government.<br>
|

<br>Currently, [individuals](https://werderbremenfansclub.com/read-blog/14047_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) can wager up to ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on [electronic casino](https://pipewiki.org/wiki/index.php/User:JannieHay63419) video games such as roulette. Anti-gambling campaigners say the machines let players lose money too rapidly, resulting in addiction and social, psychological and monetary issues.<br>
|
||||
<br>But bookmakers have warned the cut in stakes could cause thousands of outlets closing.<br>
|
||||
<br>In her response to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the federal government had listened to those who wanted the modifications to come into result faster than April 2020 and "had concurred that the modifications must be in location within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|
||||
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the chancellor said the modification to fixed-odds stakes would enter force next October at the same time as changes to duty charged on gaming companies based abroad but [operating](https://iuridictum.pecina.cz/w/U%C5%BEivatel:Eileen11R53565) in the UK.<br>

<br>The government states co-ordinating the date of the two modifications would mean the federal government would not be struck by a fall in tax profits.<br>

|

<br>He told the BBC: "There are a lot of people whose lives have been harmed by this addiction ... We need to do this extremely rapidly, as quickly as we can and in the meantime, the gambling industry will make about ₤ 1bn as an outcome of this hold-up. That's wrong."<br>
|
||||
<br>Labour has actually informed the BBC that they will put down a change to the Finance Bill to try and [generate](http://www.engel-und-waisen.de/index.php/Benutzer:LudieJanzen7458) the changes next April.<br>
