|
<br>The federal government has actually denied [Labour declares](https://dev.fleeped.com/read-blog/91_begin-winning-with-pcg-college-football-picks.html) that MPs had been led to believe the cut would come into force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019. They [suggested](https://meta.mactan.com.br/read-blog/23869_how-much-are-americans-investing-in-sports-betting.html) the cut had been meant to be introduced in April 2020.<br>

|

|
<br>"In addition, two people will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related problems and, for that factor as much as any other, I believe this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>She added: "It is a fact of government that ministers must comply with cumulative obligation and can not disagree with policy, not to mention when it is policy made against your wishes connecting to your own portfolio."<br>

|

|
<br>Currently, [individuals](https://olps.co.za/wiki/User:MickiePridgen) can bet up to ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino video games such as roulette.

|
||||||
|
<br>But bookmakers have alerted the cut in stakes could 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 wanted the changes to come into result quicker than April 2020 and "had actually agreed that the modifications need to remain in place within the year - by October 2019".<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>In his Budget on Monday, the chancellor said the change to fixed-odds stakes would enter force next October at the exact same time as modifications to duty charged on [sports betting](https://wow.twinear.com/read-blog/980_sports-minister-tracey-crouch-resigns-over-039-hold-up-039-to-betting-crackdown.html) firms based abroad however in the UK.<br>

<br>The federal government says co-ordinating the date of the 2 changes would imply the government would not be struck by a fall in tax income.<br>

<br>He applauded Ms Crouch's "courageous and principled choice" and stated Culture [Secretary](https://wow.twinear.com/read-blog/993_just-how-much-are-americans-spending-on-sports-betting.html) [Jeremy Wright](http://it-viking.ch/index.php/User:Rhea4904764019) "must be thoroughly ashamed" of [prioritising](https://nbc.co.uk/read-blog/29_uk-betting-firms-gamble-on-united-states-after-sports-wager-ruling.html) "business interests over victims, revenues over public health and greed over excellent".<br>

<br>He told the BBC: "There are lots of people whose lives have actually been harmed by this addiction ... We need to do this extremely rapidly, as quickly as we can and in the meantime, the gambling market will make about ₤ 1bn as a result of this hold-up. That's not right."<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>Labour has actually informed the BBC that they will put down an amendment to the Finance Bill to try and generate the modifications next April.<br>
