Stop high stakes gambling on the high street

Petition Details

Over the last decade Bookies have been taking over our high streets up and down the UK, in some places there are as many as 10 betting shops in one street, each shop is allowed 4 FOBT machines where people can bet £100 per spin for a maximum win of £500

Additional Information

Last month, the UK government rejected a call from 93 councils in England and Wales for the highest stake to be cut from £100 to £2 which would help thousand's of people,

this kind of high stakes gambling should only be allowed in casinos and i think it's time that something was done about it, some people have lost there life savings in these machines and people have even committed suicide because they have lost everything due to playing these evil machines.
