<br>[sports betting](https://wiki.ragnaworld.net/index.php?title=User:PrestonSalkauska) minister Tracey Crouch has resigned over "hold-ups" to a crackdown on optimal stakes for fixed-odds wagering makers.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Chancellor Philip Hammond stated in Monday's Budget that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter force in October 2019.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Ms pressing back the date was "unjustifiable" and it could cost the lives of issue bettors.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>She tweeted: "Politicians come and go but concepts remain with us forever."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Prime Minister Theresa May said she was disappointed Ms Crouch had actually [resigned](http://www.seferpanim.com/read-blog/378_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-delay-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) however there had been "no hold-up in bringing forward this important measure".<br>

|
||||||
|
<br>The federal government has actually denied Labour claims 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 intended to be introduced in April 2020.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>But in her resignation letter, Ms Crouch stated: "Unfortunately, application of these modifications are now being postponed until October 2019 due to dedications made by others to those with signed up interests.<br>

<br>End of twitter post by Tracey Crouch<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"From the time of the announcement to decrease stakes and its implementation, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these makers.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>"In addition, two individuals will tragically take their lives every day due to gambling-related issues and, because of that as much as any other, I think this delay is unjustifiable."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>She included: "It is a reality of federal government that ministers need to follow cumulative responsibility and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made against your dreams associating with your own portfolio."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>'God bless'<br>
|

|
<br>Among those applauding her on social media, the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby tweeted, external that she was "principled and brave" including: "May God bless her dedication to doing right."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Former foreign secretary Boris Johnson tweeted, [external](http://woorichat.com/read-blog/10318_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) that she "is worthy of huge credit not simply for her campaign however for sticking up for her concepts".<br>

<br>Currently, people can wager approximately ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as roulette. Anti-gambling campaigners say the makers let gamers lose cash too rapidly, causing dependency and social, mental and monetary issues.<br>
|

|
<br>But bookies have actually alerted the cut in stakes could lead to countless outlets closing.<br>
|

|
<br>In her reaction to Ms Crouch, the PM stated the government had listened to those who wanted the modifications to come into result faster than April 2020 and "had agreed that the changes must be in location within the year - by October 2019".<br>
