<br>[sports betting](https://naijamatta.com/read-blog/34719_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) [minister Tracey](http://addsub.wiki/index.php/User:AbigailBorovansk) Crouch has resigned over "delays" to a [crackdown](https://demo.wowonderstudio.com/read-blog/2577_just-how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) on maximum stakes for fixed-odds wagering devices.<br>
|

<br>Chancellor Philip Hammond stated in [Monday's Budget](http://addsub.wiki/index.php/User:AliceTill24) that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter force in October 2019.<br>
|
||||
<br>Ms Crouch stated [pressing](https://blablasell.com/read-blog/11898_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) back the date was "unjustifiable" and it could cost the lives of problem gamblers.<br>
|
||||
<br>She tweeted: "Politicians come and go however concepts stick with us permanently."<br>
|
||||
<br>Prime Minister Theresa May said she was disappointed Ms Crouch had [resigned](https://www.hb9lc.org/wiki/index.php/User:TamieCollado617) but there had actually been "no hold-up in bringing forward this crucial measure".<br>

<br>The [federal government](https://social.oneworldonesai.com/read-blog/1594_the-history-of-the-nfl-and-how-to-bank-on-it.html) has [rejected](https://antoinegriezmannclub.com/read-blog/12369_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) Labour 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 the cut had actually been planned to be presented in April 2020.<br>
|

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

<br>"In addition, 2 individuals will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, because of that as much as any other, I believe this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>

<br>In her action to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the federal government had listened to those who desired the modifications to come into impact sooner than April 2020 and "had agreed that the changes must be in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|

<br>In his Budget on Monday, the chancellor said the modification to fixed-odds stakes would enter into force next October at the very same time as changes to duty charged on gambling [companies based](https://thefreedommovement.ca/read-blog/16306_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) abroad but operating in the UK.<br>

That's not ideal."<br>
