<br>[sports betting](https://sportify.brandnitions.com/read-blog/36_start-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks.html) minister Tracey Crouch has resigned over "hold-ups" to a crackdown on maximum stakes for fixed-odds wagering machines.<br>
|
||||
<br>Chancellor Philip [Hammond stated](https://connectingsparks.com/read-blog/25091_for-sports-gambling-to-be-legalised.html) in [Monday's Budget](http://wiki.die-karte-bitte.de/index.php/Benutzer_Diskussion:LucaWarby634) that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter into force in October 2019.<br>
|
||||
<br>Ms Crouch said pushing back the date was "unjustifiable" and it might cost the lives of problem gamblers.<br>
|
||||
<br>She tweeted: "Politicians come and go however principles stay with us permanently."<br>
|
||||
<br>Prime Minister Theresa May said she was disappointed Ms Crouch had resigned however there had been "no hold-up in bringing forward this important measure".<br>

They suggested the cut had been intended to be presented in April 2020.<br>
|

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

|

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

<br>She included: "It is a truth of government that ministers should adhere to collective obligation and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made against your dreams relating to your own portfolio."<br>

<br>Among those [applauding](https://web-chat.cloud/question2answer/index.php?qa=41761&qa_1=the-ins-and-outs-of-betting-on-the-nfl-draft) her on social networks, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and brave" including: "May God bless her commitment to doing right."<br>

<br>Former foreign secretary [Boris Johnson](https://lixoro.de/read-blog/4081_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) tweeted, external that she "deserves substantial credit not just for her campaign however for sticking up for her principles".<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)

<br>Fixed-odds [sports betting](https://southwales.com/read-blog/307_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) terminals generate ₤ 1.8 bn in profits a year for the [sports betting](https://loveyou.az/read-blog/20091_sport-betting-industry-aims-to-protect-itself.html) industry, according to the Gambling Commission, external, and taxes of ₤ 400m for the federal government.<br>
|
||||
<br>Currently, individuals can bet approximately ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic gambling establishment video games such as roulette. Anti-gambling campaigners say the devices let players lose money too rapidly, causing dependency and social, psychological and financial issues.<br>
|
||||
<br>But bookmakers have actually [alerted](https://sportstalkhub.com/read-blog/21392_how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) the cut in stakes might lead to thousands of outlets closing.<br>
|
||||
<br>In her action to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the government had listened to those who wanted the modifications to come into effect quicker than April 2020 and "had agreed that the changes need to remain in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|
||||
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the [chancellor](https://olps.co.za/wiki/User:RobertoLwm) said the modification to fixed-odds stakes would come into force next October at the exact same time as modifications to duty charged on [sports betting](https://bigtoc.com/read-blog/8969_sport-betting-industry-seeks-to-protect-itself.html) companies based abroad however running in the UK.<br>
|

<br>The federal government says co-ordinating the date of the 2 changes would mean the [government](https://socialsnug.net/read-blog/8167_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) would not be hit by a fall in tax revenue.<br>
|

<br>Who is Tracey Crouch?<br>
|
||||
<br>The 43[-year-old](https://pittsburghpenguinsclub.com/read-blog/11804_tennessee-sports-betting-top-4-legal-betting-sites-in-2024.html) MP has actually represented Chatham and Aylesford, in Kent, considering that 2010<br>
|
||||
<br>She was promoted to the front bench as [sports betting](http://woorichat.com/read-blog/10320_warner-bros-discovery-sets-stage-for-potential-cable-deal-by.html) minister in 2015<br>
|
||||
<br>She is understood for her [opposition](https://thefreedommovement.ca/read-blog/19389_sport-betting-industry-looks-to-protect-itself.html) to fox searching and her love of football - she is a competent FA coach<br>
|
||||
<br>Grade school informed at [Folkestone School](https://18plus.fun/read-blog/36_the-history-of-the-nfl-and-how-to-bank-on-it.html) for Girls, she went on to get a degree in law and politics from Hull University<br>
|
||||
<br>She had worked for different Tory MPs, consisting of Michael Howard and David Davis before standing for election<br>
|
||||
<br>She had her very first child in 2016 and is thought to have actually been the first Tory minister to take maternity leave<br>
|
||||
<br>But in the Commons on Thursday, Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson [implicated](https://cheere.org/read-blog/36299_just-how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) the federal government of "capitulating to the gambling industry".<br>
|
||||
<br>He applauded Ms Crouch's "brave and principled decision" and said [Culture Secretary](https://peekz.eu/read-blog/249_how-to-attract-users-to-my-fantasy-sports-platform.html) Jeremy Wright "ought to be thoroughly embarrassed" of prioritising "business interests over victims, profits over public health and greed over excellent".<br>
|
||||
<br>MPs from all sides of the House participated his criticism. Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith said it needs to be discussed as part of the Finance Bill later this month.<br>

<br>He told the BBC: "There are plenty of people whose lives have actually been damaged by this dependency ... We need to do this really rapidly, as quickly as we can and in the meantime, the gaming market will make about ₤ 1bn as an outcome of this hold-up. That's not best."<br>
|
||||
<br>Labour has actually [informed](http://milkywaystars.site/read-blog/3048_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) the BBC that they will put down a change to the Finance Bill to try and generate the modifications next April.<br>
