@stestaAtoB A great shame they didn’t find a way to increase the levy on High St #FOBT profits to around 99%.
Go in any shop - only 2/3 old boys betting 10p, but all 4 #FOBTs being pumped by addicts, often using their cards.
@BelfastLive @GamHarmAPG's 2022 gaming machine inquiry found strong evidence of link b/ween high stake and prize limits and #gamharm. Recommended enforcement of 1985 Order and recognised #FOBTS as gaming machines in NI, per @CommunitiesNI

With promotions the odds are temporarily shifted in favour of the gambler. This is how Adam has won. I hope Adam doesn't continue because it is guaranteed he will lose on slots in the long run.

@mattzarb reminds us it’s 4 yrs 2day @tracey_crouch resigned from a ministerial post resulting in the reduction of max bet on #FOBTs being reduced from £100 to £2, after gov delay proposed. Well done Tracey for your conviction, made a difference to lives like mine. Thank you.
@mattzarb Thank you Matt. I had unfinished business and do miss being a minister, but I've never regretted my resignation, not for a nanosecond.
Who remembers #FOBTs 🎰🎰🎰🎰💩 I thought live sports & horse racing was “professional” gambling, never could keep a penny to follow a ‘system’. These days? Money earned is kept, not given away for nothing. It is that simple 🤞🏻
I was absolutely exploited by the bookmakers and the #fobts . Time and time again I was failed by self exclusion that didn't work.
Ruthless exploitation that cost lives and caused untold misery.
Now we hear that best proposals for working self exclusion were dumped for profit.
An important read. Seems like some of the inside stories of the gambling industry are beginning to emerge.
Is there another side to the story @GamRegGB @BetGameCouncil?
Delays in MOSES and @gamstopuk1 cost lives.

Not gambling meant I could pay for dinner tonight for some workmates. Cost what I gave away for 2 spins of #FOBTs roulette back in the day. 40 seconds of misery? Or much more happiness & keep a local business going? 🤔
Taking daughter to Leeds Uni early hours of the morning. The bits & pieces she needed only cost what 1 minute of #FOBTs roulette cost me back in the day. 🤮🤮🤮
@Betdavepluck @LivEchonews Don’t enter any of these evil corrupt bookies shops as staff are told to channel the vulnerable directly to gambling machine #Fobts #Egm to turn them in to #Addicts #Homeless @andygosling2 @GamblingHurts @MattHancock @MartinSLewis
Encouraging news.
There have been countless lives ruined & tragically lost because of addiction to these fixed odds betting terminals
It was a privilege to be an active member of the #FOBTs APPG & campaign for a reduction in the stakes from £300 a minute! to a £2 maximum stake
EXC: Cash lost to 'crack cocaine' betting machines fell by nearly HALF last year - following the introduction of a £2 maximum stake.
A great result for the campaign fought by the Mail, MPs and many others 👉 https://t.co/8C9AyvitoL
One of my better BBC radio interviews April 2016 talking about the lack of interventions taking place to prevent gambling harm.
Clearly Playtech who provide software for #fobts were not listening & learning leading up to the tragic death of Chris Bruney

Cash lost to #FOBTs fell by nearly HALF last year. That’s progress. 🎰🎰🎰🎰💩 https://t.co/v3ns98Mhcd via @MailOnline
So many people are taking their own lives as a result of the utter helplessness & desperation they face & debts incurred from unrestricted online gambling. It’s time for £2 fixed odds limit like #FOBTs
Unlimited Casino gambling should be for casinos, not on every phone & laptop
This announcement is worth a RT itself. Reform of gambling legislation is supported across parties - @carolynharris24 @ronniecowan @MPIainDS @tracey_crouch @BishopStAlbans @JoStevensLabour @RicHolden to name just a few - and newspapers
@guardian @DailyMailUK to name two.
