Betfred控股公司向主要股东Done家族支付了3000万英镑的中期分红1。此举发生在该公司向英国政府发出警告之际，警告称若将博彩机税率从20%增至40%，将导致约1470家博彩店关闭、34家赌场关闭，以及15900人失业1。
根据截至2026年3月的财年报告，Betfred从英国赌客中赢得创纪录的9.96亿英镑，税前利润达6400万英镑1。自2022年以来，Done家族已通过分红获得超过1.05亿英镑1。英国财政大臣John Healey目前正考虑在即将到来的预算中将老虎机税翻倍1。社会市场基金会认为，增税可能使国库增加至多4.6亿英镑1。
Betfred近年来已多次因税收增加或监管收紧而威胁关闭门店1。该公司的博彩店数量已从约1620家缩减至1293家，近五年减少了约330家1。Done家族资产净值约30亿英镑，为英国最大纳税人之一1。
Betfred's holding company has distributed a £30 million interim dividend to the Done family while simultaneously cautioning the British government that doubling the machine gaming tax rate would force the closure of hundreds of betting shops and eliminate 15,900 jobs 1. The gambling operator recorded unprecedented winnings of £996 million from UK customers in the financial year ending March 2026, generating pre-tax profits of £64 million 1.
The Done family, as principal shareholders, have accumulated more than £105 million in dividends from Betfred since 2022 1. This latest payment comes as Chancellor John Healey considers raising the machine gaming tax from 20 percent to 40 percent in the forthcoming budget 1. Industry projections suggest such a tax increase could result in approximately 1,470 betting shop closures, 34 casino shutdowns, and widespread redundancies 1. The Social Market Foundation estimates the Treasury could gain up to £460 million from the tax rise 1.
Betfred has repeatedly threatened significant store closures in response to taxation and regulatory pressures since 2019 1. The company's physical presence has already contracted substantially, with the number of betting shops declining from around 1,620 to 1,293 over the past five years, representing a reduction of approximately 330 locations 1. The Done family, with an estimated net worth of approximately £3 billion, ranks among Britain's largest taxpayers, having paid an estimated £400 million in tax last year, including £54 million from machine gaming taxes 1.
