The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is about unveil a clampdown on the ‘crack cocaine of gambling’, fixed-odd betting terminals. The set changes could have a massive impact on UK bookmakers, potentially slashing hundreds of millions of pounds from their profits.
Currently, the machines allow for punters to bet £100 per spin on the terminals, which is equal to £300 a minute. The government is set to recommend reducing this stake to £50, £20 or £2 a play.
According to figures posted by the Gambling Commission, £1.7bn was spent on FOBTs between October 2014 and September 2015, accounting for 56% of betting shops’ profits.
If the government goes ahead with the minimum bet of £2, it is likely that bookmakers will campaign hard against this ruling, arguing that such a cut would be the industry’s ruin.
If the maximum stake is reduced to £2, half of the 9,000 betting shops in the UK becoming unprofitable and risk closure by 2020.
The future of FOBTs is somewhat unclear, with bookmakers in the UK anticipating significant financial impacts, which could potentially spark a wave of consolidation.
Last month, John Whittingdale, the former culture secretary, spoke at the annual meeting of the Association of British Bookmakers, saying: “I can’t say I would be surprised if there are quite radical measures produced when we come to it and I think you should brace yourself.”
The government’s report is due for publication early this week and will then be followed up by a 12-week consultation that will cement the final decision.
Chief Executive at Ladbrokes Coral, Jim Mullen spoke to The Financial Times on the impending results, saying: “If [the government] follows the evidence, they will see that stakes do not affect problem gambling behaviour.
“If they do not follow that evidence, it will have an impact on tax receipts at the Treasury to the tune of £250m per annum. There will be an impact on jobs from the sector, with close to 20,000 [positions at betting shops being cut by 2020]. Then there will be an impact on horseracing to the tune of £200m per year.”
Last month, The Financial Times also reported that Breon Corcoran, Chief Executive of Paddy Power Betfair wrote in a letter to Tracey Crouch, Minister at the DCMS, the issue has become “so toxic” that action is critical to “address societal concerns”.
“Whilst we are not aware of any evidence which links stake size to problem gambling, we are acutely aware of the increasing reputational damage to the gambling industry that has followed lack of progress in this area,” Corcoran stated.
“We now believe that the issue has become so toxic that only a substantial reduction in FOBT stake limits to £10 or less will address societal concerns.
“I am confident we could operate our retail business successfully and profitability under such circumstances. Other well-run operators should be able to do the same.”
Gambling Consultant, Steve Donoughue spoke to Gambling Insider about the impending results, stating: ’The imminent publication of the Triennial Review should be seen as the beginning of the end of the war on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals and the end of the beginning of the war on online gambling.
’By war, I mean the active campaigning of commercially motivated anti-gambling groups happy to use fake news, a media happy to construct moral panics without providing balanced reporting, an increasingly political regulator happy to tighten the screws at any hint of moral panic and a Parliament, full of emasculated legislators willing to jump on any bandwagon just to show they care regardless of the lack of any evidence to the contrary.
’Combine this with our supposed allies, competing sectors of the gambling, willing to turn ‘Quisling’ at any moment and the forecast for British gambling over the next five years is not good, rout or surrender a possibility. I would bet money, if I’m still allowed to, that taxes will rise and regulations will become suffocating if immediate action isn’t taken.
’The trouble is, as we learnt from the First World War, is when your generals are in the safety of their chateaus far from the battlefront, Malta, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man, it is difficult for them to comprehend the strength of opposition their troops are up against and how weak their defences are. Put on your tin hat and write that letter home, be ready for the reactionary Blitzkrieg.

GVC Holdings PLC
(“GVC”, the “Group”)
Triennial Review
GVC Holdings PLC (LSE: GVC), the multinational sports betting and gaming group, notes the announcement made today by the UK Government regarding the Triennial Review.
The Government has today published its final decision on the Triennial Review, concluding that stakes on B2 content should be cut to a maximum of £2 per spin. Whilst we welcome the certainty provided by the announcement, we are disappointed with the outcome, particularly given the previous independent evidence on stake cuts published by both the Gambling Commission and the Responsible Gambling Strategy Board.
It is now important that the industry is given an adequate implementation period to help prepare and plan for the shop closures that will arise, including attempting to mitigate the impact of resultant job losses. Significant re-engineering of the machines and gaming software will also be required to effect these changes.
Today’s Government announcement marks the end of uncertainty on FOBT staking limits. As a responsible business, we re-iterate our commitment to work closely with the Government and our regulators to ensure that both our retail and online offerings are places where customers can enjoy gambling in a safe and secure environment. In order to achieve a positive and constructive working relationship, GVC confirms that it does not intend to seek a Judicial Review of the Triennial Review decision.
Expected financial impactTriennial Review Gambling Uk London
The focus in the UK Retail operation over the last two years has been to create a business that is well placed to face these structural and regulatory headwinds. As such we expect to be able to reposition the business within two years following implementation, with an anticipated fully mitigated impact of c£120m on Group EBITDA secured by the end of this period. In the first full year the impact on Group EBITDA is anticipated to be in the region of £160m. Therefore, we expect to retain a profitable and highly cash generative UK Retail estate. Furthermore, our proven leading multi-channel expertise presents additional opportunities to drive online growth.
The offer for Ladbrokes Coral Group (“Ladbrokes Coral”) envisaged the possibility of a £2 maximum stake Triennial Review (see below) and today’s announcement has no impact on the minimum targeted synergies of at least £100m per annum.
Contingent Value RightTriennial Review Gambling Uk Supreme Court
As part of the consideration paid for the acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral, GVC issued to each Ladbrokes Coral shareholder a Contingent Value Right (“CVR”) for each Ladbrokes Coral share that they held. The CVRs were constituted under a deed poll made by the Company (“CVR Instrument”), a copy of which can be found at www.gvc-plc.com.The value of each CVR, and therefore the value of any payment ultimately due from GVC to CVR holders, is directly linked to the outcome of the Triennial Review and certain laws enacted pursuant to it. Whilst there is a formal process and methodology for determining the value of the CVRs, which GVC will adhere to, the CVR Instrument envisages that if legislation is enacted prior to 28 March 2019 reducing maximum stakes to £2, as announced by the Government today, this will result in each CVR having zero value. In such circumstances no payment would be required to be made by GVC to CVR holders and the CVRs would be automatically cancelled.
Trading update and pro forma financial information
The Group intends to provide a current trading update, along with enlarged Group pro forma financial information on 25 May 2018. An analyst call will be held at 9.00 AM on the same day.

Kenneth Alexander (CEO) said:
“Although we are ultimately disappointed with the outcome of the Triennial Review, it is a decision we accept. The uncertainty has weighed heavy on the industry and the many thousands of people who work within it. Our focus now is to work with Government to build a constructive relationship that will ensure a positive future for the sector and the many millions of customers who enjoy our products responsibly. The offer for Ladbrokes Coral Group was structured to address the potential of a £2 max stake outcome and as such the strategic rationale for the acquisition remains unchanged. Through a combination of trusted brands, scale, technology and diversification, I’m confident that GVC can continue to deliver shareholder value.”
