Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to publish an updated policy on fixed odds betting terminals.
This question was answered on 29th January 2016
On 21 January the Government published its evaluation of the £50 regulations introduced in April 2015, which is attached.
The evaluation indicates that a large proportion of players of FOBTs may now be making a more conscious choice to control their playing behaviour and their stake level. We will now consider the findings of the evaluation before deciding if there is a need for further action.
