Answer
In April 2015 the previous Government introduced regulations which require authorisation of stakes over £50 on Fixed Odds Betting Terminals through a “verified account” or staff interaction.The Government published its evaluation of the £50 regulations on 21 January. The evaluation paper can be found here:

We will now consider the findings of the evaluation before deciding if there is a need for further action.
