 <br>[sports betting](https://truthbook.social/read-blog/8351_score-big-wins-how-sports-betting-software-drives-growth-and-engagement.html) minister Tracey Crouch has resigned over "hold-ups" to a crackdown on optimal stakes for fixed-odds wagering devices.<br>
 <br>Chancellor Philip Hammond stated in Monday's Budget that the cut in stakes from ₤ 100 to ₤ 2 would enter into force in October 2019.<br>
 <br>Ms Crouch stated pushing back the date was "unjustifiable" and it could cost the lives of problem gamblers.<br>
 <br>She tweeted: "Politicians reoccur but concepts stick with us forever."<br>
 <br>Prime Minister Theresa May stated she was dissatisfied Ms Crouch had actually resigned but there had actually been "no hold-up in bringing forward this essential step".<br>

 <br>The [federal government](https://woodsrunners.com/index.php/User:CathrynL43) has rejected Labour claims that MPs had been led to think the cut would enter into force at the start of the next tax year, in April 2019. They recommended the cut had been intended to be introduced in April 2020.<br>
 <br>But in her resignation letter, Ms Crouch stated: "Unfortunately, application of these changes are now being delayed up until October 2019 due to commitments made by others to those with signed up interests.<br>

 <br>"From the time of the [statement](http://www.engel-und-waisen.de/index.php/Benutzer:JennaGetty6737) to [lower stakes](https://flowsocial.xyz/read-blog/550_how-to-play-bet9ja-online.html) and its implementation, over ₤ 1.6 bn will be lost on these devices.<br>
 <br>"In addition, 2 people will unfortunately take their lives every day due to gambling-related issues and, for that factor as much as any other, I think this hold-up is unjustifiable."<br>
 <br>She added: "It is a truth of federal government that ministers must stick to cumulative duty and can not disagree with policy, let alone when it is policy made versus your wishes 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](https://mxlinkin.mimeld.com/read-blog/657_online-betting-firms-gamble-on-soccer-mad-nigeria.html) that she "is worthy of big credit not just for her campaign but for sticking up for her principles".<br>

 <br>Currently, individuals can wager approximately ₤ 100 every 20 seconds on electronic casino games such as live roulette. Anti-gambling campaigners state the makers let gamers lose money too rapidly, resulting in addiction and social, psychological and financial issues.<br>
 <br>But bookmakers have actually warned the cut in stakes could cause [thousands](https://wow.t-mobility.co.il/read-blog/14_sweepstakes-casino-controversy-and-celebrities-039-all-important-role.html) of outlets closing.<br>
