Petition Action

Ban fixed odds betting terminals because they ruin lives and split up families.

Petition Details

Please address the social problem of fixed odds betting terminals. The protection that bookmakers offer is inadequate. They literally take the food out of children's mouths and clothes off of their backs.

Additional Information

In a society which is more fluid and which travels a lot more for work the threat of addiction to gambling is ever present.
It is possible to gamble 1000s in a matter of minutes.
With our high streets also suffering, please let's direct this disposable income in the right direction, and end this social poison.
