Government needs to place a complete ban on FOBT's. They are worse than any drug and are designed to hook the player and take as much money as possible.

The goverment need to ban these or have some sort of card account were you can self exclude from all fobts machines on your account,but they wont ban them because they make to much tax from them,labour has said if they get into power they will ban them who knows all i know is im sick of putting my money in these and never walking away because its to hard to walk away especialy when they are so addictive.

betting shops managed very well before these insidious machines where introduced. strong legislation is needed to control this type of gambling. it DOES ruin lives

These machines are more of a problem In society than most drinkers, drug users and thieves ! I have put thousands into these machines and caused a lot of destruction to my own Life. Iv lost upwards of £1200 in an hour on these machines because of how highly addictive they are. I Would Love to see them banned but the government don't care about betting terminal because they make hundreds of millions In tax.
