A scale was in the which (i) space; (ii) table space; (iii) area; and (iv) to table ratio. would be to with these in order to their.
When asked about the scale, there was a level of from the 40 area, area and to table ratio, but to table area - 63% of were not in of the table area. This was from, who that the other space and the of a to table ratio would a table, and space.
Some were in to any in the level of in - 46% of those that were to the idea of a new with, to that that B are the most with harm. These also that the of will not make more to take, due to the of other over their and their ‘’.
Seven to this of the, some of which for and a of the. When asked about the of the, if a new were to take with the new of 80, the of (88%) they would look to move onto this. with have that this would to the of in.
Over half of who an to move onto the new they would look to take up the of 80 in at least some of their (57%).
It was that the would form part of a new that would have the of onto, up a new under the new rules. All (41) were asked they with this. More were than in, but this from those who are to any in the of, than and.
There were mixed views on’ to hold at the same. Forty were to this, with 60% to being able to hold. An of the shows that were of the view that the would apply per, with no on the per. In this, a with 3 could site a of 240, which would not be the. Very few were by who hold more than one at the same, but the of these that they would not look to take up the of 80 per were it to be an. a view on how would as a of the. Most (54%) a small in from the, as a of with. had views on the on other. per cent a small in the and of other, while 41% a small or large in the of other.
The to a scale for 1968 Act that wish to their, as:
This is with the scale in the. In this we some from about the of a table area., in the we to that if the setup of a in, an of - both in terms of space and. It is our view that a table area the of a which can offer more than 20 B, where there is not only a clear areas and areas but also a the of ( and equal table games) and other such as and/or. A table area in will that a of space is for games (the of the under 7 of the Act 2005) and also any that may the of the such as with 1 or 2. from with has that the scale as would the of, with over 80% of to on how floor space is.
We also about an of to for harm., as in the white paper, are to have in place, and many have a range of in real time and that at risk from. must also have to the risk of harm, and these will be in place for any.
The that a new will apply to 1968 Act that seek to their. This would be with the to bring to the 1968 Act and 2005 Act. We will give to these the of back to the (), as this will be a to 2005 Act Small.
The that will to be able to at the same, as long as are by the that are to, those set out 1 of 1 of the Act 2005 ( and) ( and Wales) 2007., it is our to apply a fixed of 80 per. As some hold 2 or 3 a, this step there could be a of 160 or 240 being sited in one place, which would be with the and an to Small 2005 Act. from that there would not be to site more than 80 in a, we want to that this is not a, the risk that these could site more than a Small or even Large 2005 Act.
The asked the on the to table ratio for 1968 Act and Small 2005 Act:

Those in to a 5:1 ratio a lower ratio such as 3:1, due to a that not. These would to see table games as the most under a, that table games are more to lead to in play.
The that a 5:1 to table ratio is for both 1968 Act that move onto the new and Small 2005 Act, the 2:1 ratio in place for Small 2005 Act. In this ratio, we to amend the of “ table” for the 172(3) to (5) of the Act 2005so that only where the is or by staff count for the of the ratio.,the Act 2005 ( in) () 2009 that a table is not a “ table” for the of s172(3) to (5) of the Act. An of a table is an wheel into which the ball is not by a human but at by the, and bets are at touch., the that real equal (e.g. poker) are not as for the of 172(3) to (5) of the Act. both and table games of equal do not any for the of the to table ratio.
We will amend these so that where staff are not and the or the are also for these. This will that, such as games in which the a or, or pulls a or lever, to a ball or set of balls count the to table ratio. These do not count as, but do they any of the of a table in to a mix or for. we to the of “ table” for the of the ratio, the of the to “table” inthe Act 2005 ( and) ( and Wales) 2007 Act 2005 ( and) 2007will not as a of our.
The ratio will a offer of in, bring the types of, and that have in Small 2005 Act from a 2:1 ratio. Any 1968 Act that wish to on the will be able to do so and are not to their ( they to take up the to offer for).

This of the 43. were in of to with all of the scale in order to their. Of those that ‘Yes’ or ‘No’, 58% were in of this being. Some used this of the to their to the table area. When asked about the area, table area and area, the table less than the other 2.
With to with a area of 1500sqm or more, the from was for these to be made to their area below 1500sqm.
A even of were for and the 12.5% rule for 1968 Act, any table area would only count the table area if it 12.5% or more of the total table area in the venue. Of those that didn’t ‘I don’t know’, 47% were in of this and 53% were.
When asked about the in table area in Small 2005 Act from 500sqm to 250sqm, more were in of this being than. per cent of those who didn’t ‘I don’t know’ the, while 48% were. Those to the a table area in place such as 350sqm.
The that will be to with all scale in order to the. As in our to the ‘ for 1968 Act’, we from about the of a table area given the scale a of., as, it is our view that a table area the of a, where there is not only a clear areas and areas but also a the of ( and equal table games) and other such as and/or. a table area in would that a of space is for games and also any that may the of the, such as with a of.
With to that with a area of 1500sqm or more, these will be to open with their area. The for these will apply from 16 May 2024 (the date on which the was) and take of any plans. will be from their area, from 16 May 2024. a for to be made to their area, we think this is a fair for the small of that it will apply to., this is drawn to any that these may gain to their.
The same 12.5% rule that in 2005 Act is also to apply for 1968 Act that seek to move onto the new. This would mean any table area would only count the table area if it 12.5% or more of the total table area in the venue. This will that only and table areas can count the total, a mix of that are and in a.
Small 2005 Act will also a in their table area, from 500sqm to 250sqm. This is as a more table area to other floor space, and will with 1968 Act.

This of the 40. The vast of came from and local,, we also a small of from and with lived of harm. The of a for 1 or 3, and were to 2. were in of 2, a their that the 80/20 ratio not be in the., 23% of 1, 23% 2, 8% 3, and 48% did not state a.
A the of the 80/20 rule is to to have over their offer of B, C and D. is a to the of the and bingo the in years from and costs., the seeks to allow to their costs the of but C and D and/or GGY of B., to harm, the of the rule also seeks to that a offer of lower C and D for. in and bingo are on 3 types:,, and. types are the most with., in years there has been a of and in and bingo. The has that some of these to have been to the of B which can be sited by an, than to a lower stake offer to. To help this, the its ‘ for use’:
“… for the of the B in, only be if they can be by.” (, 2019
‘ for use’ does not have a in the Act. The’s, while in out what the ‘ for use’ when, does not from being able to site lower and to their of B. As such, the to if the could be to that there is a offer of C and D on in the and bingo. This will that C and D made by have and/or are for use, as to being used as a means to the of B a venue can site.
We GGY and the in of B, C and D under 1, 2 and 3 from a range of. A of these is below.
Under 1, the vast of that there would be an in GGY for and bingo. This was bingo club, and., that in GGY would be in the than in the bingo club. Bingo club from no on GGY to small in GGY, with the in GGY being in the of £4m. By, the in GGY from was in the of £10m. 2 the most out of the 3. by and the trade body Bacta that this would have a small but on GGY for many. The by the bingo club was more, with some a small in GGY ( less than 1 would for some bingo club), a small in GGY. 3, which would the ratio, was the only which of GGY from bingo club,, trade and. for GGY above those for 1 both the and bingo club, as with 1, the were more for the. The for the bingo club was an in GGY of c.£10m. We did not GGY for the,, that they GGY under 3 than under 1. that the in GGY under 1 and 3, and, the or no in GGY under 2, with the to site B. For, one large a 20% in the of B under 1, which to a in GGY. from both the and bingo show that B GGY on than C and D, that the of GGY were in the. large that a B3 c.£600 per week, per. In the bingo, for the we GGY per to be c.£500. and types offer C and D and less GGY.
We have from the bingo club which show that the GGY per is c.£3.80., even when for type (i.e., or), the that C and D less GGY than B. Some for the bingo club that the GGY per C is in the of £100-250 on the age of the. Many older C are to GGY at the lower end of that scale as they are and less to. argue that the 80/20 ratio a to older C as they lack, yet are to them to meet the ratio. that in to the to GGY, a of for many is the to. This to C and D. that these are but. Many, those from the bingo club, that their for the of 80/20 is to costs, than gains in GGY.
In the bingo club, one large that both 1 and 3 would them to 500 C and D their, in the of 50% of costs of and these, both costs and. By, under 2, the same that it would be to the of C, in costs. This was of other bingo, with many that they would be to C and D in a or, in some cases, would have to the of these to their B offer.
The that 1 and 3 would in the of C and D, 2 would have no or in of C and D. Bacta that the of each C and D could save on up to £21 per week, or £1,092 per annum, on hours., some that than lower, be novel to, such as and sleep on which are not in use.
In harm we were to the by. to in on,, and those with lived of harm to of with rates of harm.
As in 2 of, we are aware that B on per C and D. In bingo, 1.6% of B in of £200 or more, to 0.7% of C, D and mixed. In, 2.3% of B in of £200 or more, to 2% of C, D and mixed. it is that in B will lead to in with.
There was a that 3 the risk of rates of harm. The only which the risk of harm under 3 came from the and bingo., half of from the and bingo that 3 posed a risk of harm. The and bingo who did not that there was a risk of harm with 3 that 3 would lead to a of old C which do not have safer and an in B which have the safer., some that 3 would be the most for safer and these.
The vast of local, and those with lived that 2 was the most of the 3 for harm, a that any of the ratio risks harm. A of drew upon the of spend which is on B by to C and D, as this to of harm. The that in a of, 27% of who are doing so ‘to make money’, and that who of, such as being to debt, are more to than the. A of also drew on which the risks with, from which shows in an area and rates of. As such, the of these that the type 2 would be the best means of the of B, of the, and in turn help rates of harm.
Under 1, we from which that only in B would be made. While we are of the view that such are in and harm, in, it would be for an to only offer in the form of B, while the 50/50 ratio by a of C and D and for use. We are that 1 may new to enter the with the of their B offer in this way.
This to as to how best to our 2. The first is to that from to GGY the to make more B and/or their costs the of C and D. The is to that are with a offer of lower C and D.

In to the, under 3, the that over time it is that many would their offer of C and D and offer B. for 1 that in B would be in the., we from a of which that under the a of offer more B than C and D, and they are only able to meet the ratio by large of C and D and.

In of that a offer of C and D, 2 is the only which we would this than 2(a). We some which that 1 would be to 2(a) for that a offer of C and D are made to.

The vast of to the that card be if debit card are on. Over 70% of also that card be on each. who did not agree with this a range of for when occur. This:
At the start of a After every 5 of the of and e.g. can be made up to £100, 3 times a day is
The pub was about a for each. Their view was that chip and pin use would be and, if it was for each. There was some that this would a risk for using in pubs as it would the for their PIN to be by other., they would the to apply for debit card on or for chip and pin to only be at the of any. from the pub also with for each on D crane grab. They that it would be an and for a low stake and low prize. It was also that these can be to adapt a card for, but a chip and pin for every in most cases would not be or cost.
One shop was that debit card would the a has with shop staff as their a level of with a staff. They also that be to if they would like to their to debit card as it would be a cost to to all to have this. and Crime were about the risks with debit card and that risks and that be used to build in and to those with cash. They also the of card given the for debit cards to be used to make to.
A from an the of debit card on the basis that there is that in and when to cash., they that if debit card were, and would be to the risk of and harms. This such as after every, speed and the total of.
The that be on each, in line with the of to these. The will be taken by the via.
We did not any which our in the, which that the of each will help an level of for and the risk of debit card crime cards being used on. It will also add layer of to the in a way to other of. For, a a to go to an ATM will be to enter their PIN.
We the the to use chip and PIN for each., we will make the of to types of and to allow for. We are a look at the (SCA) could be used to help our.The 2017set out that SCA means based on the use of 2 or more () from the: known only to the () held only by the () to the () - an of is a such as an iris scan or
These apply in, when a payer an. chip and PIN, as well as Apple Pay and Pay which uses, meet the SCA.
As set out above, while chip and PIN could be used as a, we would and to adapt or make new that made by which have some sort of and meet the SCA. This would the with chip and PIN, such as the risks by the pub. We that debit card made a phone may less than the use of chip and PIN, but we still view this as as the will still be to take a to their; for, that a is by the phone a.
In to the shop’s the lack of staff, we think that the that will be put in place in to will to as they will be more than the for cash and. We would also this to other who are about this as we the risks that are with debit card to those paid with cash or (for, via or).
Q33.a:What the value be for on? ()

Q33.b:[Shown if Other is] what you think the be (£). ()
[ scale]
A range of were given to what the be for. The of that a £100 limit was most while other, such as and local, it be £20 or less. Some it be £1, in line with their view that not be at all.
Some more from the pub and the that the on the of that can be to play are and that there is no why to these tight be. They also said that there not be a limit on D crane grab. In, they asked that the final limit is set at, then there be a put into place to keep these under, such as being to the limit set by the (FCA). that such a, the real value of the value will erode over time with.
A of from of that a be taken to the value, with one a £10 limit a limit on the of a can in a set of time.
The that a limit of £100 apply to all made on. The will be taken by the via.
The that can be money at one time is £50 based on the note., can to money onto the to pause or an. The limit, with a time, will an point of to the if they wish to put more than this onto the. This also with the value of card.
We do not agree with the view of some who that a limit was due to the in place with to and. Using a debit card on a is a for the to cash or where a such as going to an ATM has been the can put money onto the. A debit card takes away this step and we think it is that some sort of is added back into the. It will also help the risk of a sum of money onto a in one go., are by their bank in terms of how much money they can in one go and in one day., it is that a level of to debit cards even if it does not the on money from an ATM.
We also with the that D crane grab not have a limit. This will act as a in case tries to put more than £100 onto the. While this, we do not see any for it not to this type of as they still carry risks, even if than other forms of on.
We also do not think that the limit be to the FCA’s limit for. While this might be an level for the, we will want to it be or. This could at how with that, how much they spend and the of., we will take the when to this limit than it being to our.
In to a, we think that a £100 limit is that our aim is to try and the by which uses cash to play on a. This limit adds an of that an ATM does and it is set at such a level which will a to if they want to spend more but is not so low as to alter the to with cash or.

Some that any time at least a break from the that is to the time it takes to funds from an ATM., they that 30 was too short a and that a time be, other for, such as the of a can make a break in play. from the pub that there be in play for C but that are not for D crane grab as it would be a, that it was to be and that it would be cost to this.
The that the time be at least 30. With to the with this’s, we have that it is for the to on this as part of its of the.
We would that the 30 start from when the has read the card and the. 30, the would be able to start money onto the.
This would the time it takes to cash from an ATM. As in the, this break will slow the speed of and a break in play to the. The 30 also with the Group’s and the’s that for, as part of the of to make debit card by away from the table at, the to an of 30 of in a break in play funds.
We think that this 30 time, with the other that we are, that the use of debit cards on a has a level of to with cash. We are also that this time to all. While D crane grabs may be a lower risk, they are more to be by and we think a to debit card be taken in.

Other parts of the were to staff, the pub who that it would be for staff to to an alert in a busy pub. Some also that of staff in and where., staff when are hit would not serve as an and could deter from or them to set at much.
Many of the from of were in of staff but that they to be by staff so that they can in a way. Some the need for staff to be able to to about harm and that was to staff to and when are harm and be to these in.

This will help build a of the’s play and is in shops.

While such will not an with a each and every time a is, they form an part of the venue’s to, other types of and that could harm.
