Gambling.com Domain sold for $2.5M USD

Posted: 28 Apr 2011 05:45 AM PDT

According to a German language press release sent out by Sedo this morning, the company has succesfully brokered the sale of the domain Gambling.com for $2.5 Million USD on behalf of the British Media Corp. The new owner wishes to remain anonymous – no surprise considering the recent actions of the US government against online gambling. The whois seems to still list the old owner at this point.

Unfortunately it appears that he neither tried to contact Moniker, nor felt it necessary to research more about “whois privacy”.

The stadium is now to be called “Overstock.com Coliseum“. Oddly enough this means that Overstock.com apparently has forgotten about their ongoing bid to rename themselves to O.co(m).
