|

<br>Ms Crouch said [pushing](https://idaivelai.com/read-blog/25_things-you-need-to-learn-about-rafting-adventures.html) back the date was "unjustifiable" and it might cost the lives of issue bettors.<br>
|

<br>She tweeted: "Politicians reoccur however principles remain with us permanently."<br>

<br>End of twitter post by Tracey Crouch<br>
|

<br>"From the time of the announcement to minimize stakes and its application, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>"In addition, two people will tragically take their lives every day due to gambling-related issues 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 adhere to collective responsibility and can not disagree with policy, not to mention when it is policy made against your dreams 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 courageous" adding: "May God bless her dedication to doing right."<br>
|

<br>Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted, external that she "is worthy of huge credit not simply for her campaign however for sticking up for her concepts".<br>
|
||||
<br>Fixed-odds wagering terminals produce ₤ 1.8 bn in profits a year for the wagering industry, according to the Gambling Commission, external, and taxes of ₤ 400m for the federal government.<br>
|
||||
<br>Currently, individuals can bet as much as ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as [live roulette](https://learn.ivlc.com/read-blog/61_tennessee-sports-betting-top-4-legal-betting-sites-in-2024.html). Anti-gambling campaigners say the makers let players lose money too rapidly, causing dependency and social, psychological and financial problems.<br>
|
||||
<br>But bookmakers have actually warned the cut in stakes might result in countless outlets closing.<br>
|
||||
<br>In her [response](https://wavedream.wiki/index.php/User:Jacelyn3760) to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the federal government had listened to those who desired the modifications to come into impact earlier than April 2020 and "had actually agreed that the changes should 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 come into force next October at the exact same time as changes to duty charged on [sports betting](http://www.vmeste-so-vsemi.ru/wiki/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:NoeC88089893) companies based abroad but operating in the UK.<br>
|

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

That's wrong."<br>
|
||||
