says "rights to the brand and the domain name."... I guess they didn't want to admit that the brand *was* the domain name. That's a big sale! $$$$$$$

That one might make the weekly Top Ten Domain Sales chart at Domain Name Journal next Tuesday. :-D

Wasnt Faboulos.com involved with a lawsuit regarding this name sometime ago?

yeah! the swedes know how to do it

I am currently away on holiday here in the northern part of Sweden, in the middle of the woods, with no internet except for now (visiting someone with a 33.6 modem).

So I read todays local newspaper, and it says "swedish company sells domain-name for 42 million SEK" and I was like, What the hell?! =) Then I saw it was casino.com

didn't even know that was owned a swedish company. One of the best domains in the world imho

I am, in the other hand, disturbed by the 1998 price for casino.com

50 000 SEK => 42 000 0000 SEK

that's a 84000 percent increase

I KNOW! I choked on my morning coffee, when I saw that they had bought the damn name for like $5000 in 1998

Hell, I would have traded my little brother for that name
