International Federation of poker site explains match poker rules:

MatchPoker.com has person from LasVegas owner of kenobriensports.com

I am sure that Mr Obrien will eithet develope the domain...or sell if receive BIG MONEY.

Nice idea although I'm not sure if the loophole in the game will escape regulators.

I snagged learntoplay(dot)poker the other day.

 

[deez007]

This could be a good thing for some of my gambling related .club domains (3dcasino.club + VipTexasHoldem.club)

 

[viento]

if ali would like to invest poker,they will consider alipoker as the first choice.
puke is chinese pinyin,but it is not common use,we like to use "PAI"

 

[d-e-x]

I'm a Chinese seller.
To be honest.
I doubt that Chinese will use that long domains like yours or not.

I search some domains just now.
A smart guy got a Alipuke.com yesterday.
Chinese pinyin "puke" means "poker".
most gamblers in China know few English.

Anyway, Good Luck

babapuke.com

I suppose that the name will remain as MatchPoker, but who knows...

I have MatchPokerTV.com

Noone tkink about puting millions of dollars in promotion, if is not convinced of the success. They will be strongly promote MatchPoker as a e-sports competition.

 

[MisterSoft.com]

I already got
POLKER.com

 

[ametyst]

I already got

I looked into poker too. and well since this news? I registered .poker domains too but since my focus is on Chinese markets? I figured numbers would be best bet like:

888999.poker
999888.poker
8899.poker
9988.poker


and also in .bet I registered

pkp.bet = Poker.bet in Chinese. Pkp=Poker in chinese.
Asians.bet
MatchPoker.bet

8454.bet
5484.bet
1648.bet
4854.bet
88889999.bet
99998888.bet
1328.bet
0999.bet

If you question some of the domains with 4 and 0 in it. please take each .bet domain and replace .bet with .com and go visit those links. I can almost guarantee you that it will be some Chinese owned website. possible a chinese domain investor who also has hundreds of domains for sale.

nice...how to match your domain with MatchPoker ?

lol when you win at Match Poker? You dance the Polka! now that's Polker.com!

puke is chinese pinyin,but it is not common use,we like to use "PAI"

hmmm can you please expand on this? sounds like you know alot. So Pai=Poker? so what does Paigow Poker translate to?

Poker Gow Poker? lol just asking seriously. so what does PaiGow Translate to?

whoa! just worried me there a sec. Completely did not even bother to check if "match poker" was trademarked. It's not! Thank God! lol because I registered MatchPoker.bet and PokerMatch.bet

I think I'm going to get a call shortly from MatchPoker.net? maybe? or am I daydreaming? lol

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

No. Unlike English. Chinese Pinxin "Ali" can represent several meanings.
He may explain "Alipuke" into Lily poker.
Li can mean a girl's name "Lily"
If he uses alibabapuke ..he may in big trouble.
But ,Alibaba will not care it .cause it;s too long .no company will use it.
That's just my opion.

thank you for this! This post and NP just keeps giving me good ideas. since the mention of AliPuke.com I registered

AliPKP.com
AliPKR.com

PKP is Poker in Chinese
PKR is the short hand for Poker example? PKR888.com check out the website. It's chinese poker site. for example. not promoting.

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

if ali would like to invest poker,they will consider alipoker as the first choice.
puke is chinese pinyin,but it is not common use,we like to use "PAI"

That is why AliPai.com is taken although it's been taken since 2005 so I think whoever registered it did so because it sounds similar to AliPay.com? maybe?

so anyways I checked Pai at Google translator. it says it means "TAKE" is that right?

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

AliPoker.com taken
AliPuke.com Taken
AliPai.com Taken

if anyone else can think of one and check via whois to findout if it's taken please share. thanks.

hmmm can you please expand on this? sounds like you know alot. So Pai=Poker? so what does Paigow Poker translate to?

Poker Gow Poker? lol just asking seriously. so what does PaiGow Translate to?

pai ,there are many meanings ,auction ,bid ,knock down,poker card,brand,ranking,

for poker,we use "pai" more than puke,puke is very less words in our life,even we use ,we call puke pai

 

[WhoaDomain.com]

great! thanks!

I think I'm going to get a call shortly from MatchPoker.net? maybe? or am I daydreaming? lol

.bet is in my opinion typical for gambling/betting and I don`t know if they will want to connect his product with such extension, maybe for brand protection only...

I also checked trademark before I registerd MatchPoker domains.

 

[ametyst]

lol when you win at Match Poker? You dance the Polka! now that's Polker.com!

so I shoud know the steps

Don't get too excited. Alibaba is a big and profitable company which is higly unlikely to risk with loopholes, gamblig is seen as pure evil in most of Asia and China is quite conservative in general.

Zinga for instace is also having a poker game (facebook and app). While gambling is not allowed in either Facebook and Apple and Google's app stores. How it happens? Well, technically it is considered gambling when you bet money and can lose and win them. So if you don't play with money, it is OK. You can buy avatars, accesoaries, additional diamonds/coins/whatever, but you can not witdraw or monetarize the wins. Which naturally turns off the real gamblers who are used to put money on the table and leave with less or more real money. Yeah, you can have a popular app with tons of users, but it does not mean that it will make more money per user than let's say Fermarama.
Also tenically users might be able to trade virtual assets on eBay etc. for real cash like other games (if the assets and proflies are transferrable), but they would hardly be the ones who will put money into the game. Personally I expect Alibaba to do something like that (non-gambling form as stated). It can be some good traffic generator for them, winners can receive coupons for shopping... something like that.

Which does not mean that you can not profit by advertising on blogs teaching how to play if the market is big enough.
Affiliating to actual casinos and poker roms.... not so brght idea. Serious ones take measures not to allow users from places where such things are illegal - the licensing is serious and some big ones were severely hit for allowing users from a place where their use became illegal like on previous day (I mean USA). As affliate you get money when they deposit such which might be impossible from China.

Interesting analysis. I'm curious what measures would be taken to prevent third-party sites from promoting the game itself. If this game is to have world-wide viability, I would think that they would encourage affiliate marketing. As for the US, the lobbying to kill online poker might go down in defeat depending on who becomes the next POTUS.
