A sports betting levy to help fund community centers and deal with sports betting dependency is amongst proposals by Labour in a "long-lasting innovative prepare for sport".
Moves to press Premier League clubs to contribute more to grassroots football are likewise being thought about.
Shadow Harriet Harman stated the Olympic "legacy" of increased participation had failed to materialise after London 2012.
And she stated "strong federal government management" was required to attain it.
Ms Harman will likewise think about bring back a requirement that school pupils do at least 2 hours of sport a week, which was removed by the coalition as part of education reforms.
Pressure on clubs
The proposals belong to Labour's More Sport for All consultation.
At present, wagering companies face a levy on horseracing earnings - which raised ₤ 82m in 2015 - and Labour is thinking about extending the levy to cover all sports betting and include bets placed online.
While the Premier League likewise presented a voluntary 5% levy on television revenues for the grassroots video game, the party thinks the manner in which amount is determined implies it is frequently less that it could be.
The consultation is taking a look at increasing openness into how amounts are computed and exploring measures that would push the nation's richest football clubs into appropriately meeting their promise.
The plans being thought about also consist of:
New targets for female participation in sport
Increasing the variety of ladies on the boards of sporting organisations
Ms Harman said: "We were all happy to host the Olympics and Paralympic Games in London 2 years ago, however instead of seeing increased participation things have got even worse, especially among youths, as a result of the government axing school sports betting partnerships."

She included: "Our assessment looks at a variety of concepts which aim to increase investment in community and grassroots sports betting by getting tough with the Premier League and sports betting business, reviving two hours of sport at schools a week and encouraging more individuals to participate - women as well as young boys.
"We require strong federal government management to produce a long-lasting ingenious strategy for sport and that is what this assessment looks for to do."
