I see nothing unexpected, the price might be a deal even

Radix sold this, and this shows registries are the new "Domain Kings"

I must be the only one that doesnt rate casino.online lol. Yeah casino is an excellent keyword but it sounds wrong to me. Surely online.casino is the right way round (dont know if .casino exists). Something like bet.online or gamble.online would be prefferable in my opinion.

Online.Casino is reserved by the Registry...

I price domains based on the earning potential.
Agree. The price paid was a great deal given the revenue year after year after year :):xf.cool:
Happy Hunting!

It makes me laugh to read comments such as "please note, this sale only happened because it is a super name", trying to put an exception on the gTLDs. But that is just nonsense to raise such an exception. Please note, the use of gTLDs is the only way to create a super name on the internet. Anyone with some education and understanding of linguistics knows the use of gTLDs allow brands for very powerful name combinations, which improve memorability, allowing the name to be easily distinguishable, and equally important, they make search easier for internet users (casinoonline.com or casino.online ?! lol!). I know this is true, you know this is true, end-users know this is true — Let the name combination speak for itself (i.e. Mortgage.Loans, Heart.Surgery, Arabic.Media, OP.Media). If you’re still uncertain if gTLDs is the absolute way for brands, go ask your parents / grandparents / or people who aren’t so invested with the internet, they will even tell you that these names resonate with them. Why? Because they naturally work, they're simple, memorable, and did I already mention.....just damn simple!

The only reason why we have not seen more 6-figure sales with the gTLDs is simply because the market has not responded to the gTLDs yet, but, the environment is slowly changing. For those “investors” and domain community members who continue to be uncertain and disbelieve the gTLD potential, the inability for these "investors" to adapt to new changes speaks for itself, but I would also mention that these "investors" only believe something when they see it -- aka, they won't believe it until sales of gTLDs start pouring in -- and unfortunately, when they see these sales, their opportunity may very well be over for realizing great ROIs. Let it be known that the sale of Casino.Online on 2017-03-22 just increased the market value for gTLDs.

Beauty is in the eye of beholder! The end-user might find highly useful to him than how other perceive the domain's value. I will hold to only .online I have, which is echeck.online

So it's another registry sale.
Finally, Radix covered their application fee for the TLD with just one domain sale. O_o

It may not have resulted in a "windfall for 1 investor" but it does raise the bar for New "G"s in general given an end user placing the value on the domain and not some "expert". This is a windfall for domainers that know a % of sales will go to end users that choose
New "G"s over legacies and it doesn't matter what the reason is.
There are plenty of premium domains not reserved by the registries to invest in.
Surely most would agree those top premium domains would have ended up in the hands of the most connected or wealthy investors anyway not the majority, and certainly not end users without paying a price that few can justify or afford.
As great sales of New "G"s to end users continue the naysayers will have less to whine about another "win" for domainers.
Happy Hunting

another "win" for domainers.

What are some of your "wins"?

Another great sale by a registry. These inspire more regs by domainers, another win for the registry.

All of them "in the buy" :-P investing 101
The biggest "win" - Client buys their own extension
The second biggest "win" - Portfolios
The third biggest "win" - debunking .commies

If this was a domain reserved for, and sold for, the registry Radix as stated earlier in this post why would it be sold via Sedo? Surely the registry wouldn't need to use an escrow service - or was this domain listed for sale in Sedo, or sold in an auction at sedo? Do the registries list some of their best 'reserved' domains on sedo?

Yes, a lot of registries have exclusive sales agreements for their reserved domains with auction platforms.

Example from 2013 : "Famous Four to handle sunrise, landrush, and premium sales through Sedo"

Casino.online has $15 renewal. It is unlikely to have been sold by registry.

its not about stress... ngtld lovers get excited with this sale.. and ngtld haters (not me) play it down.. all this is only natural...

the neutral people will simply inform you that you cannot take the best possible super premium keyword which is casino and match it perfectly fitting extension which is .online... and then pretend there is some conclusions or connection to be drawn from this top keyword sale and the entire ngtld industry and its future.

in short, whichever way ngtld industry will go in next say 10 years, will have exactly nothing to do with this sale. ;)

cheers
Maybe not entirely true....
If the buyer of casino.online starts running a top website on the domain, a lot of gambling-addicted people in the world will become familiar with .online. Ngtlds need to be seen in the wild to become mainstream. A domain like casino.online can influence that way more than farmersvillelocalbakery.online.

Maybe that makes it very likely that it was sold by Radix.
Casino.online had a premium renewal for sure.
The only reason I can think of why the premium renewal is now a regular renewal, is because Radix reduced the renewal price. And why did they do that? Probably as part of a sale. I can understand that someone bought the domain and made the high renewal a dealbreaker. They probably negotiated a price with the condition that the renewal fee would be regular forever of for at least a certain amount of time.

From DNJournal just released:

Radix, the operator of multiple new top-level domains (gTLDs), has announced the sale of Casino.online to an anonymous buyer for $201,250 in an all-cash deal. The registry made the sale through Sedo, the world’s largest domain marketplace and monetization provider. This is the highest reported price paid to date for a single domain in a new gTLD.

$201,250 yes it's a good sale but for me it's a normal price because Casino.Online is a super domain. The 2 words Casino and Online work very well together...

Its good for a few reasons but great for seo as search engines read casino. online
As casino online without the. Uk and the other way round eg online casino

I definitely agree. It's here to stay, permanently. It was a great purchase as the value of names such as these are worth mid six-figures to low seven-figures.


We call this...... FAKE NEWS! Click here to see why

Great new for all gTLD investors

I am surprised this thread is not yet hijacked by new gTLD haters..what happened?? LOL

.Online is imo in particular one of the best extensions out there :)

And not true that all good .online terms are in hands of registry -I know many examples of great terms which are in hands of private investors (few of the are here at np), and with standard renewals. The key was to get in early.
