A question about poker domain names

[domainscp]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone on here has or has had any poker related websites? If so are these profitable? Not worth effort? By sites I mean going to some company, having them put up a site for you, handle all the work for a reasonable split(I did a google search and there seems to be plenty of options out there). If not does anyone have any poker related names parked? If so and you dont mind me asking how much do these normally bring in in revenue?

Thanks

poker domains used to get some very large ppc, especially at Fabulous.com; however, they have now dwindled down to nothing special, partly probably because of Goog changes, the poker scams, the new laws and other stuff.

Be very careful setting up a poker site. It's kind of like someone who gets paid to tell you how to make money, but they don't use their system to make money, preferring to get your greed to pay them for an easy get-rich-fast program "that anyone can do." As far as chancing a revenue sharing venture with on online poker company, it will be under your name when things go bad.

ah those were the good ol' days eh?

There are a lot of legal issues when if you are talking about providing gaming online. Nobody is going to give you something for nothing, especially if all you bring to the table is a domain name. They don't need it.

You either start from scratch or join an existing network from which you share a pool of players.

Plus you'd probably have to move to a "safe" country, and never set foot in the US, lol.

I ran a poker blog / article website for a while. I was averaging around $4/ day with adsense when it revised its terms...

Now, thanks to a deployment, a failed Rsync, and a horrible host, I lost everything.

You don't develop poker sites to make money off of adsense lol.

I have seen some poker sites using Adsense!

That's because adsense now allows gambling ads but only shows them to visitors where online gambling is allowed.

In the Allow & block ads section of adsense, you can choose to allow Gambling & Betting ads. By default, it's turned off.

I thought they differentiated between showing gambling ads on regular websites and advertising on a actual gambling site.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought doing the latter can actually result in a suspended adsense account.

Those certainly were the good ol' days ! I also had a domain which I set up as a 1-page presell and sent traffic to an affiliate program. That was nice while it lasted.

As far as building a site: just be aware that it's extremely competitive and not a niche where people "play nice." If you (and your traffic) are from a country where online poker is legal then you can potentialy make some nice commissions ... IF you can gt the traffic.
