As the outcome of the case between the state of Kentucky and the owners of 141 internet gambling domain names remains uncertain, it is understood that the gambling companies behind the casino and poker sites the Governor of Kentucky tried to seize are now putting in place contingency plans.
The online gambling sites could end up buying similar domains to the ones named in the case.
This strategy would prevent any downtime for the web sites whether the domains get seized, but it could also create a windfall for the owners of the domain names that the gambling sites seek to buy. Desperate times call for desperate measures and in this situation the demand for similar domains could allow owners of the domains to ask for a lot more money that they normally would ask for.
The operators of Full Tilt Poker have recently purchsed FullTilt.com, which was previously owned by a company that provides a product information management solution.
Few years ago, Bodog had to rebrand first as newbodog.com and then as bodoglife.com when 1st Technology was given the control over the bodog.com domain after being awarded a default judgment for almost 50 million dollares in a patent infringement case.
More recently, UltimateBet rebranded as UB.com following a major poker cheating scandal that even attracted the attention of the CBS television show 60 Minutes. The two-letter domain name UB.com sold in 2007 for $130,000 on Moniker.
As in any supply-demand scenario where the buyer is desperate, prices will soar. And domain owners sitting on properties that otherwise haven’t received much interest, might see competitive offers coming in. Especially from companies that have worked hard to build their online gambling brands and do not want to take chances until the fate of their gambling domains in the Kentucky case remains in question.
Following is a list of the 141 internet gambling domain names identified in the Kentucky case.
