[$31.5 Million Gambling Settlement]

The three largest Internet companies have agreed to pay
a combined $31.5 million
to settle federal civil allegations (의혹)
they took ads
for illegal gambling,
the U.S. Attorney for eastern Missouri said
Wednesday.

Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc.
also agreed to stop
accepting ads
for sports wagering and other online gambling, (내기)
U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway said.

The investigation conducted
by Hanaway's office,
along with the IRS and the FBI,
dates to 2000,
she said.

Negotiations have been going on
for 12 to 18 months,
she said.

"This is a very profitable business
that had a lot of money
to spend on marketing,"

Hanaway said
of the online gambling firms
advertising on the Web.

All three companies said
they stopped
taking the ads
years ago.

"I do think
it will have
a major impact,
Hanaway said.

Obviously these are three of the largest online organizations
in the world."

Microsoft's $21 million portion of the settlement includes
a $4.5 million forfeit, (벌금)
$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 be aimed
at informing users,
especially those of college age and younger,
that online gambling is illegal.

Microsoft said
it stopped
accepting ads
from sites associated with online gambling
nearly four years ago.

"This agreement reflects
our ongoing commitment
to online safety,"

the company said
in a statement.

"We're hopeful
that our educational campaign will stop
young people
from gambling before they start."

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.

"Yahoo stopped
accepting online gambling advertisements
years ago,
and after the U.S. Attorney's office contacted
Yahoo
with its concerns,
we worked cooperatively
over several years
to reach this settlement,"

spokeswoman Kelley Benander said
in a statement.
