Jacques – You are moralizing the issue. A case can be made against any “vice” advertising, but I don’t want Google or Yahoo! being the judge. Should restaurants selling fatty food be banned? What about online beer mug shops? Skydiving?

I do not want search engines being held liable, and therefore responsible for, any more content than they have too.

I think it is pretty ridiculous that the government steps into things like this too much. I understand things like gambling ads are not necessarily the best to be showing to people, but let them decide that. If people don't agree with the ads, they won't click on them and therefore stop the casino companies from paying for them.

Gambling is one of the worst addictions one can have, and having personally worked in casinos I can tell you that it can get pretty ugly, with people losing everything they’ve worked their entire life for a regular occurrence. Hence I personally would love to see gambling advertising of any sorts banned, just like cigarette and booze advertising (in some countries). Holding the search engines accountable is a sure-fire (if not necessarily fair) way to ensure that nothing slips through.

Good. I personally don't think Google and Yahoo! should have had to pay for this in the first place. One thing I'm not 100% clear on, however, is whether these listings were PPC or organic. One would think that the PPC might be able to slide in there for a short time, but the organic results likely would not have produced such results. Either way, people who have to click the mouse, give their info online, and then lose $ should not be able to point blame at the SE's for their bad decision.
