So that was the portal/search engine long range plans. Weed out the gambling ads from their sites and then do a partnership with a gambling site. Not comfortable taking money for gambling ads but happy to take money from gamblers.
Actually, Yahoo buckled under to the threats from the US DOJ and stopped taking ads, just like everyone else.
They must, however, been conferring with their lawyers and decided to make a big step by getting in bed with online betting in the UK.
I see this as a positive! They are courageous enough, despite being US based, to support and even partner with online betting abroad. This is snubbing it’s nose at the DOJ’s threats and making a statement.
I just hope more US companies follow suit!
