The future of the Federal Government's proposed ban on interactive gambling remains unclear.
A Senate committee which investigated the bill is split over the matter.
Labor Senators say the bill will fail to achieve its objective of limiting gambling on the Internet.
They argue the bill is so badly flawed, it could make the problem worse.
The future of the bill is likely to be determined by the vote of the Greens Senator, Bob Brown, who has not revealed how he will vote.
