A parliamentary committee has released the findings of its inquiry into the harm posed by online gambling, making 31 recommendations on how the industry should be regulated and how Australians struggling with addiction should be supported.

Among them is a proposal for a phased ban over three years on all advertising directing punters to websites and apps to place bets, along with greater federal oversight of the sector.
