Gambling.com

gambling.com looks to have been sold a few days ago for 20M
nobody heard about it?

This is great news - but still a deal for the buyer in my humble opinion.

Q. How much land in Vegas will 20M buy?
A. Not a whole lot (prime location).

What a deal.

poker.com / casino.com are much better though... imagine how much those two are worth if gambling.com went for 20m!

you'ld think the possible largest domain sale ever would attract a little more hype...

well, yea.. but the guys bought out that whole "company" who just ran gambling.com

Domainers are 5 days behind. From the horse's mouth:

http://www.xworks.com/press.asp?y=2005&id=197

It was more than just a pure domain name sale --- as analyzed on the other big domain forum, a lot of the value is due to the incoming links and the 200,000 double opt-in emails. Compare the Overture rating implied traffic with the Alexa ranking implied traffic, and this will be evident.

Still, positive news for gambling domain owners (my own gambling domains have a higher combined Overture than gambling.com). arty: Makes casino.com look like an even bigger steal @ $5 million (higher Overture and Alexa, by a huge margin).
