Extend the Culture Secretary's recent FOBT decision to cover online casino games

Petition Details

On 17th May, Culture Secretary Matt Hancock opted to limit stakes on FOBTs in high street Bookmakers to £2 from £100 on the grounds they are “a social blight”. The policy needs to extend to the very same games of chance on bookmakers/casino websites, usually undertaken in a solitary environment.

Additional Information

Online 'FOBT' games offer no social interaction and less protection than the high street equivalent.
