Closed Gambling - Fixed Odds Betting Terminals

Closed on

FOBT's are the scourge of millions of people's lives in the UK. Every high street bookmaker has a number of these machines on their premises and collectively they make more money than all other types of gambling put together.

Every day, every machine is occupied and millions of people are becoming hopelessly addicted to a type of gambling that is stacked in favour of the bookmakers

Please can we all raise enough signatures to get these horrendous machine removed from society, because unless they are, many more people will succumb and crime and debt will continue to soar.
