£30
Gambling company shares up!
Well worth the review - that’s really going to help - what a cop out.
Government clearly not taking this issue at all seriously. The net affect will be exactly the same level of problem gamblers. But hey hoy at least they went through the motions and the poor can continue to contribute to the Government’s tax take.

It was as inevitable as Levison report. Politicians owned by Media and both funded by Bookmakers.
£2 Limit announced!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-44148285?ns_campaign=bbc_breaking&ns_mchannel=social&ns_linkname=news_central&ns_source=twitter
About d**n time the government cracked down on FOBT's. Maybe we'll finally see only 1 bookmakers per high street rather than 5-10. While it's not the answer to everyone's gambling addictions it will certainly help A LOT of people. I know I will certainly benefit from the reduction in the limit as it will be a lot less appealing only being able to stake £2.
As for bookmakers crying about the limit and claiming it will cause job loses, the fact that people like Fred Done (B*****d owner) offers his minimum wage staff loans at 39.9% APR shows you exactly how much they actually care about their staff.
Only thing they're interested in is your money.
