|

<br>[sports betting](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/45_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) minister Tracey Crouch has actually resigned over "delays" to a crackdown on [optimal stakes](https://www.yewiki.org/User:SueGantt67) for fixed-odds wagering machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>Chancellor Philip Hammond said in [Monday's Budget](https://tweecampus.com/read-blog/114955_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter force in October 2019.<br>
|
||||
<br>Ms Crouch said pushing back the date was "unjustifiable" and it might cost the lives of issue bettors.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|

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

<br>Prime Minister Theresa May stated she was dissatisfied Ms Crouch had [resigned](https://higgledy-piggledy.xyz/index.php/User:TyreeBridges656) but there had actually been "no hold-up in advancing this important procedure".<br>

<br>The [government](https://olps.co.za/wiki/User:ToshaArmijo6) has [denied Labour](https://infosocial.top/read-blog/4005_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) that MPs had actually been led to think the cut would enter into force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019. They suggested the cut had actually been planned to be introduced in April 2020.<br>
|
||||
<br>But in her resignation letter, Ms Crouch said: "Unfortunately, application of these changes are now being delayed till October 2019 due to commitments made by others to those with signed up interests.<br>

<br>"From the time of the announcement to [reduce stakes](https://kiigasofthub.com/read-blog/10093_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) and its application, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these devices.<br>[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)
|

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

<br>She included: "It is a reality of government that ministers need to follow collective responsibility and can not disagree with policy, not to mention when it is policy made versus your desires connecting to your own portfolio."<br>

|
||||
<br>Currently, individuals can wager approximately ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as roulette. Anti-gambling campaigners state the makers let players lose cash too rapidly, leading to addiction and social, psychological and financial issues.<br>
|
||||
<br>But bookies have warned the cut in stakes might result in thousands of outlets closing.<br>
|
||||
<br>In her response to Ms Crouch, the PM said the federal government had listened to those who desired the [modifications](http://www.engel-und-waisen.de/index.php/Benutzer:Doyle70D50) to come into effect faster than April 2020 and "had actually concurred that the changes ought to be in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|
||||
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the chancellor stated the modification to [fixed-odds stakes](https://flowsocial.xyz/read-blog/560_things-you-need-to-know-about-rafting-adventures.html) would enter into force next October at the same time as changes to duty charged on [sports betting](https://wiki.ragnaworld.net/index.php?title=User:Pamela7758) firms based abroad but operating in the UK.<br>
|
||||
<br>The government states co-ordinating the date of the two changes would suggest the government would not be struck by a fall in tax profits.<br>

That's wrong."<br>
