FreerollForums.com - Large Poker Forum for sale (5,000 members)

**system0** · 03-09-2006, 12:38 PM

Site : FreerollForums
Online Since : April 2005
Traffic : Between August and October 2005 it averaged over 1500+ daily uniques. Due to my lack of work on the site its dropped to just below 1,000 visitors per day however the site keeps a strong memberbase (stars can be provided by private request)
Revenue : The affiliate links are all tied to accounts which i promote via my main gambling related sites therefore it is difficult to estimate how much the site has made. Please base any bid on traffic/members/potential etc because of this.
Reason for selling: Time. I have not been able to devote much time the site since day one yet it has still managed to get 5000 odd members in less than a year. I am moving to new zealand for a year in 6 months and will be unable to maintain this site since the time i can devote to online projects will be reduced. Therefore this site and over a dozen others will be put up for sale (some of which can be seen here)

About the Site : FreerollForums is a large poker discussion forum which concentrates on players who are new to the game and enjoy free tournaments. The site has about 5,000 members but is still growing at a high rate. The poker companies put up private tournaments for you and it fairly easy to get a few hundred to a game if you give out the password in advance.

Anyone who has dabbled in the online poker/gambling industry will tell you the huge potential for making money online with it.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Looking For : $xx,xxx -
* Min bid of $20,000. I prefer bids to be kept private however i will keep all those who make bids updated either privately. The time it takes for a bidder to send payment will be considered when considering who to sell to

Payment Transfer : Due to the sale price i will accept escrow or bank transfer. In my opinion paypal is very unsecure for large transfers. The buyer agrees to pay any fees applicable. Payment must be made in full before any transfer (unless we follow the standard escrow procedure).
Domain/Hosting :
* The domain is registered at enom so its a free push. The domain will be pushed to either your enom account or a new enom account i will setup for the buyer - ie. if you want to transfer to GoDaddy or another domain registrar then do so in your own time after i have transferred the domain to you

* The site is hosted on my dedicated server. Full access to the site will be granted to the buyer for the transfer
Included in Sale : The sale includes the full rights to the unbranded original and specific forum skin with psds together with a full license for vbulletin.

(Now the small print!!!

)
No time wasters. If you cant make the min bid then please dont make a lower bid as i wont accept it. The money it brings me in and the traffic to my other sites is worth more than the min bid - again, i stress this sale is due to time constraints. If a decent bid isnt tabled i will be looking privately to emply someone to run it

This is being posted exclusively at DNForum first. It will be posted elsewhere is interest isnt great

Im happy to answer any questions anyone may have

Also, any bidders are free to check comments on my previous transactions at DNF

Update

Since no one has put in a concrete bid as yet, im considering selling the domain name (including traffic etc) and the site skin (cost $1500 - non copyrighted). Any bidders should please contact me privately in the next few weeks for evidence of traffic stats etc.

if your not interested then why are you asking questions which i have already covered in my initial post. I did mention income in my first post.

the site is making money - i just cant state how much because the affiliate links are used on several sites i own. I know the traffic the site gets and the site is very active however i cant estimate with any precision how much money the site is making.

Thats what i stated in my first post that any bid should be placed based on the traffic and the memberbase.

Ok ok. I typed "profit", and then "income", none of these words were mentioned in the first post, so it was not too clear, thanks for your response.

I would be interested in private screenshots showing that you effectively make some money with your poker sites (i mean all combined), and what percentage might be from that particular forum that you are selling. I understand you dont want to publish it here but you could show me via PM :greenembarrassed:

Regards

im not making some money via these sites. Im self employed via my online websites and my gambling related sites give me the majority of my income. However, im not keen on giving out this information as it hasnt got anything to do with this sale. I do understand that no evidence of income is a major issue for most bidders and it would be for me too. However, due to the circumstances its something i cant give. Im not sure of the % of income this site brings in....if i did id be able to work out a rought estimate of how much it is making

due to this, this sale might interest those more with already established poker related sites looking for a memberbase or traffic centre to boost an exisiting portfolio
