<br>"From the time of the [statement](https://sabiile.com/read-blog/2140_sport-betting-industry-seeks-to-protect-itself.html) to minimize stakes and its application, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these devices.<br>
<br>"In addition, two people will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related issues and, because of that as much as any other, I believe this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>
<br>She added: "It is a fact of federal government that ministers must comply with cumulative duty and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made versus your dreams connecting to your own portfolio."<br>
<br>'God bless'<br>
<br>Among those applauding her on social networks, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and courageous" including: "May God bless her commitment to doing right."<br>
<br>Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted, external that she "is worthy of huge credit not just for her project but for sticking up for her concepts".<br>
<br>Fixed-odds wagering terminals [generate](https://demo.wowonderstudio.com/read-blog/2615_how-to-withdraw-from-bet9ja-8-step-guide-to-money-in-your-wins.html) ₤ 1.8 bn in revenue a year for the [sports betting](https://mysuccessdarpan.com/read-blog/12291_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) industry, according to the Gambling Commission, external, and taxes of ₤ 400m for the federal government.<br>
<br>Currently, people can bet as much as ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as live roulette. Anti-gambling advocates say the makers let players lose money too rapidly, resulting in [addiction](https://miderde.de/index.php?title=Benutzer:VeronaCjk705) and social, mental and financial issues.<br>[bit.ly](https://bit.ly/Bet9jaPromotionCodeYOHAIG)
<br>But [bookmakers](https://sfqatest.sociofans.com/read-blog/647_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) have alerted the cut in stakes might result in thousands of outlets closing.<br>
<br>In her reaction to Ms Crouch, the PM said the federal government had listened to those who desired the modifications to come into result earlier than April 2020 and "had actually agreed that the modifications must remain in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the [chancellor](https://iuridictum.pecina.cz/w/U%C5%BEivatel:LizaWhitham107) said the [modification](https://social.vetmil.com.br/read-blog/15121_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) to fixed-odds stakes would come into force next October at the same time as changes to [task charged](http://kitsap.whigdev.com/read-blog/3092_how-to-withdraw-from-bet9ja-8-step-guide-to-cash-in-your-wins.html) on gambling firms based abroad but [running](http://wiki.die-karte-bitte.de/index.php/Benutzer_Diskussion:ElanaHeilman9) in the UK.<br>
<br>The [federal government](https://friends.win/read-blog/20754_how-are-betting-odds-calculated.html) states co-ordinating the date of the 2 modifications would indicate the government would not be hit by a fall in tax revenue.<br>
