An Australian parliamentary inquiry into online gambling and its impacts on those experiencing gambling harm has recommended the establishment of a national gambling regulator to oversee all licensing and regulation nationwide, with online operators to be charged an annual levy to fund the country’s harm prevention measures.
It also calls for a complete ban on all forms of advertising for online gambling, to be phased in over three years.
The findings of the inquiry were published on Wednesday in a report titled “You win some, you lose more”, which listed 31 recommendations aimed at reducing harm to the Australian population.
