UK House of Lords rejects Gambling Bill amendment
Peers also considered rules around the advertising of remote gambling, particularly where it is likely to be seen by children and whether the horse betting levy should be extended to bookmakers overseas.
A third reading, which will be the final chance to amend the bill, is due to take place on March 18.
The bill first came to light when it was granted a first reading in the House of Commons in May 2013 before being given a second reading in November 2013. It was also the subject of two debates in the House of Commons later that month.
A third reading in November 2013 meant it was passed on to the House of Lords for a first reading.
The House of Lords then took it to a second reading in December 2013 before deciding to push the bill forward to the committee stage.
