Australian lawmakers are considering a comprehensive licensing framework that could legalize and regulate online casino gambling, a significant shift from the current prohibition on interactive gambling.

The proposed framework includes:

- Strict player protection requirements
- Tax rates aligned with sports betting
- Advertising restrictions
Industry experts estimate a regulated market could generate $3 billion in annual tax revenue.
