Gambling companies pay an effective rate of tax of something like 80%

It's a huge source of revenue for the government.

It's going nowhere.

I don't object to sportsbook gambling, in fact I don't object to most, but I do not like fixed odds betting terminals and internet gaming. Those are fixed in favour of the bookmakers; they know they'll make c.3p profit for every £ gambled, sportsbook is different, the punter can win if they are smart enough.
