The companies said they stopped taking the ads years ago. The settlement was announced by Catherine L. Hanaway, the United States attorney for eastern Missouri, who said the investigation, conducted by her office, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, dated to 2000. Negotiations have been going on for 12 to 18 months, she said.

Microsoft’s $21 million portion of the settlement includes a $4.5 million forfeiture, $7.5 million to be paid to the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children and $9 million in public service ads over a three-year period, starting next year.

The public service campaign will aim the message that online gambling is illegal at those of college age and younger.

“We’re hopeful that our educational campaign will stop young people from gambling before they start,” the company said. Yahoo’s $7.5 million share of the settlement includes a $3 million forfeiture and $4.5 million in public service ads over three years.

Google will pay $3 million. A spokesman, Jon Murchinson, said the ads were in sponsored links at Google.com and other Web sites that belong to its ad network. “While we did not admit any wrongdoing, the Department of Justice has advised that online gambling is illegal in the United States, and ads to promote it are improper,” he said.

We are looking forward to building a lasting relationship with our new partner. “

The skill gaming network GamArena has launched both via the B2C proposition www.GamArena.com and via a customized and integrated B2B version for PAF (at www.PAF.fi). The announcement marks the conclusion to more than 20 months of development work into the network which is supported by Finnish company EGET’s proprietary EnterGainment Platform with back-office technology and services.

GamArena offers the latest in high-quality gaming entertainment with 14 games including the officially licensed game from multiple World and Olympic Table Tennis Champion Jan-Ove Waldner, ever classic Backgammon, frantic Formula 0.01 Racing, stylish MahJong and skill versions of Black Jack and 3-Card Poker.

The company has also signed distribution deals with media and betting & gaming partners such as Aftonbladet and Bet and Win, with many others in the pipeline.

Andrew Pegler, Managing Director of GamArena, said, ‘The whole team is very proud of what it has achieved. And that’s not all – we have new games and functionality to add to the product and very exciting distribution partners to work with including Bet and Win.’

Lars Porko, PAF CEO, said, ‘We believe strongly in the potential of GamArena and skill games. We see it as the perfect vehicle to entertain players in an ever more challenging Internet environment.’

100 per cent Internet based with a principal customer base in Guangdong and Zheziang provinces, Beijing and Shanghai, sportsbook activity largely centres on football and basketball. The business will be fully integrated into the existing Easy Bets operating structure in Malaysia to deliver enhanced management control, cost savings, improved processing channels, additional key personnel skills and product diversification across all BETonSPORTS plc’s Asian brands.

The initial purchase consideration and the value attributable to the assets, of US$22 million, will be satisfied on completion of the acquisition as to US$10 million in cash and the issue of 3,859,089 ordinary shares of 1p each in the capital of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”*). Deferred consideration of up to US$16 million has been agreed, to be paid in cash depending on the profitability of the business in the year after completion. The maximum total purchase consideration for the business is US$38 million.

The historic profit before tax to 31 December 2005 (unaudited) of the business being acquired was US$3.6 million. The current rate of gross handle is approximately $120 million (RMB1,000 million approx) per annum, in respect of two sportsbook brands, but including exchange betting of $8 million per annum; additionally, there is a new casino, which commenced operations in March 2006, with an initial gross handle of $5 million in that month.

During the 15 months ending 31 March 2006 the business had 28,274 sign ups, 40% of which were real money sign ups with deposits. Active clients (being unique customers wagering in a month) between January 2005 and March 2006 remained relatively stable at approximately 6,500 a month.

Since the business will be fully integrated in to the existing Easy Bets operation, the earnout period agreed with Tim Lambe, Managing Director of Easy Bets, upon acquisition of Easy Bets in May 2005, has been extended from three to five years. Adjustments have also been made to the cost base and percentage entitlement to profits above a minimum level in year 3 of the earnout which extend to years 4 and 5 such that the cap on total consideration for the Easy Bets acquisition is now US$40 million compared to the original US$32.5 million (of which US$15 million was paid as initial consideration).

David Carruthers, Chief Executive of BETonSPORTS plc, said ‘This acquisition is not merely earnings enhancing. We see China as a “must-be-in market” and with Hooball and 777ball consolidating our Easy Bets presence, our first mover advantage is significantly increased. The diversification of revenue streams away from the US further mitigates the seasonality of activity in our US facing business.

“These brands meet our criteria of proven profitability, territory expertise, straightforward IT integration and robust processing channels combined with effective risk management. We strongly anticipate that the benefits of integration with Easy Bets in terms of cross selling, marketing, skill sets and cost savings will rapidly become apparent. Immediately prior to a World Cup doesn’t look like the worst of times to be acquiring such a strongly soccer-centric sportsbook.”

Max Hsiun, former CEO at Hooball and now Easy Bets’ Business Development Manager commented, “I am delighted to be part of BETonSPORTS’ Asian plan and teaming up with a quality brand like Easy Bets with its resources and reputation can only be good for the long term future and the successful development of the Hooball business.”

Endemol UK have announced the launch of a new digital media division which they promise will create multi-platform gaming entertainment.

New Creative Director at Endemol Gaming, Sarah Bellamy, said, “Our goal is to bring Endemol’s substantial creative resources to the gaming industry and develop a wide range of tailor made entertainment for the global market.”

Casual Gamers to Vie for $1 Million Prize at Championship in Hollywood this Summer

Based in Newton, Massachusetts, WorldWinner is a privately held company that specializes in online skill games. It hosts more than 10 million games and awards millions of dollars in prizes every month, with games in five categories: Card (Bridge, Spades), Word (Word Mojo(TM)), Arcade (SwapIt, Blockwerx), Strategy (Skillgammon, Cubis) and Sports (Pool, Polar Bowler). An average of 350,000 games are played on WorldWinner daily. For the 12 months ended December 31, 2005, WorldWinner’s unaudited financial statements showed revenue of US$10.67 million, a loss before interest, taxes and extraordinary items of US$0.68 million and net assets of US$3.91 million.

SkillJam is a multi-channel provider of skill-gaming technology and solutions. It develops and distributes private-label gaming solutions for a broad network of partner destination sites in the US and abroad, including AOL, MSN’s Zone.com, Virgin Games and Lycos. Through its skill-gaming website SkillJam.com, SkillJam offers a wide range of skill games to its over 9 million registered users. SkillJam games are also offered over the Internet, through wireless applications (mobile) and iTV (interactive television), and on stand-alone kiosks.

Over the short term, WorldWinner’s products will continue to be offered on its website, www.worldwinner.com, but there will be some level of integration in the future with the SkillJam property. The consideration for FUN’s acquisition of WorldWinner is a payment to the sellers of approximately US$23 million in cash.

Lorne Abony, the CEO of FUN Technologies, said, "The acquisition of WorldWinner is a significant strategic achievement for FUN Technologies. WorldWinner was until now our largest competitor and by consolidating the two businesses we will achieve significant operating efficiencies, leverage and synergies. Skill-gaming is in its infancy and we believe it makes tremendous sense to consolidate the sector in its early stages to capture market share, increase supplier concentration, enhance distribution and acquire customers at low cost per acquisition. The synergies that exist in merging SkillJam and WorldWinner are enormous, as the businesses are complementary in every way."

Rick Weil, the President of FUN Technologies, commented that acquiring WorldWinner means leveraging economies of scale and significantly growing revenue. Further, Mr. Weil stated, "We will acquire millions of new non- overlapping customers, increase our liquidity and offer customers a variety of new online games. We also intend to move quickly to take advantage of the cost synergies which exist in redundant operations."

Stephen Killeen, the President and CEO of WorldWinner, commented, "We are proud to be a part of this merger with FUN Technologies. The consolidation of the two organizations will result in a global skill-gaming powerhouse."

LONDON (CP) – Fun Technologies PLC (TSX:FUN) shareholders have voted unanimously in favour of a previously announced takeover of the Canadian-based online gaming company by American cable and Internet company Liberty Media.

Friday’s shareholder’s vote in London will be followed by a series of steps on March 7 and 8, including a London court hearing to approve the deal, delisting of Fun’s current shares in London and Toronto and the listing of the "new" Fun shares.

Created in June 2002 by two cofounders of CryptoLogic Inc. (TSX:CRY), a Toronto-based software company that develops and runs online casino and poker systems, Fun Technologies provides online skill games.

Skill gaming involves wagering cash on any game that’s not a game of chance or luck – games like chess, checkers, solitaire, and spelling games.

Fun Technologies also runs an interactive television game-show service for GSN, a U.S. cable-TV channel co-owned by Sony and Liberty Media, which also owns the QVC Inc. shopping network and other companies.

The friendly deal between Liberty and Fun was valued at $195 million US when it was announced from London on Nov. 22.

Under the multi-stage deal, Liberty, based in Englewood, Colo., will invest $50 million US in Fun by purchasing 10.5 million of its common shares directly from its treasury.

In the second part of the deal, Liberty will issue a tender offer to buy 23.2 million existing shares at 360 pence to take its total ownership in a recapitalized Fun to 51 per cent.

The price of 360 pence was established as a 40 per cent premium to Fun’s stock price in London as of Nov. 18.

If more than 23.2 million Fun shares are tendered to the offer, its shareholders will be paid partly in cash and partly in shares of the "new" Fun Technologies.
