It hasnt been sold yet, it was just the highest bid?

**Doolally** · 16 May 2007, 1:53 pm

I'd take the $27M and run!

I'd like to do this calculate. For me it is diffculty to explain in english.

However if one* do one bid of 27 $ milino.

One* think that poker.com can generate FF > 1,1 milion $ every year with one average K about 4 %.

is it possible to generate 1,1 milion $ with poker.com ? if yes the price is correct.

you think if pacific poker is on poker.com, the 888.com can earn 1.1 milion $ in more to year ?

I suspect none of them would get out of bed for $1 Million.

From my understanding there has been no public release as to what Poker.com sold for and that as of right now it is still speculation. Does anyone know of anothre source besides gambling911 for this info?

Poker.com is a truly valuable domain name. I would be happy with $1M.

I only wish I was spending less time on BBS boards and more time paying attention to this budding things called the "internet" back in the day. Man... the domains that could have been picked up and the business revenue generated would be staggering right now! Oh well.

Poker.com is worth almost nothing now.

Really? Well, let me know if you have any other gambling related domains that are similar and I'll be happy to take them off your hands. If you have slots.com, casinos.com, or gambling.com, I'll be more than happy to have them.

**rob3786** · 31 May 2007, 2:12 pm

That must be the stupidest post I have seen in a forum that poker.com is worth nothing, what on earth would give you that idea?

**Doolally** · 31 May 2007, 5:41 pm

CasinoDawg,

I'd hate for you to have the burden of all those worthless names yourself. I'll take half and share the problems.

ACeButt may be up to something here. It's not by any means worthless, but $27 million is so funny, I cannot believe gambling911 even published it.

A few things:

- 90% of the poker rooms are out of the US, the rest are, lets say, "slow".
- foreign poker market not nearly as good as the US
- type-in traffic is less and less these days. When was the last time you typed in "news.com" in your browser?

Put these and other obstacles together, and the price tag of $3-$5 million is more reasonable. As I always say - give me $1 million and I will brand any domain name
