It makes poker.org a truly brilliant purchase. Until a change occurs in US gaming laws, it is probably worth far more than poker.com. I finally get why my fivecard.com domain has little value....

This was a truly brilliant purchase and was probably undervalued; certainly not how it appears at first blush, though. That deal finally allowed me to understand why my fivecard.com domain isn't worth much. But a change in US law could quickly upend dot net and dot org gaming names... and bring dot coms back to life...

Poker.org was sold to a company in the domain industry, so they obviously think they can make enough money from developing it to cover the huge price. They have experience gambling .org domains already and must have some advantage when it comes to that (like getting it listed at the top of Google). Mainly, the domain had a significant value to any speculator. iReport.com was sold to an end user (cnn.com) and the value was based on the fact cnn wanted that particular domain because they had already chosen that name for their reporting service, and buying the domain for whatever it cost was a drop in the bucket for them. I don't think the domain itself had any significant value at all to a domain speculator. Yes, in both cases the sellers drove a hard bargain to get those amazing prices, but that is not the whole story. I don’t agree at all.

I was wondering the same thing about iReport.com compared to Poker.org. One other consideration: Numerous organizations within the industries involved which bought those two domains (television news & gaming) appear to have sufficient capital to buy whatever they want.
