POLL: Should the government impose a £10 limit on wagers for fixed odds betting machines?

We are joining forces with Portsmouth City Council in urging the government to impose a £10 per spin restriction on the machines.

At the moment gamblers can wager up to £100 per game.

Last year more than £53m was spent in the machines across the Portsmouth area.

Councillor Matthew Winnington said: ‘They are far too addictive and something needs to be done.’
