Looking for comments, suggestions etc. on a Poker related name

[Rochemontagne]

I own the .com, .net, .mobi, and .asia of a two word poker domain in the singular form. The .com was registered by me in early 2005. Last year around this time a major world poker organization registered the .org, .biz, .info, .us and .eu of this name in the singular form and they also registered the name in the plural form in all of the above extensions. The singular form has a larger Google search.
Do I have a possible winner here in the .com and .net I own or ??
I'm looking for comments, suggestions.
Thanks.

Almost impossible to know without actually knowing the keywords.

It coulr be a yes or it could be a no. Can't tell ya unless we know the name.

The key words are poker and ambassador...in that order.

Yes, it looks like you are on to a winner. I would hold on to these until news heightens about online poker becoming fully regulated in the US. If the W P T doesn't buy them, some one else will.

 

[Rochemontagne]

Thanks Venture! The organization you mentioned are the ones who own the other extensions.

Im not in agreeance. Frankly, I dont care for the keyword combination. The only fortunate thing you have is that another poker company clearly likes the domain. Good luck.

I also think you are on to a winner - I can't see a big poker organisation setting up poker sites without having the dotcom and the dotnet of names they already own - from their site : "WPT Enterprises, Inc. (Nasdaq: WPTE) is a media and entertainment company engaged in the development, production, and marketing of gaming-themed, televised programming; the licensing and sale of branded consumer products; and the sale of corporate sponsorships"

It could be that they are buying up lots of poker names and re-directing them all to their site

Just out of interest why have you got it parked with Godaddy ? The page doesn't even have any poker related ads.

 

[Rochemontagne]

Thanks Justin...I appreciate your comments.

Not sure why it's at Godaddy. I had it at Sedo...well, I thought I had it at Sedo. I'll have to change that.

I say it depends on the company that is buying the other names. You say it's a major, poker company that bought the other names, I'm sure they are interested in the .com and .net. Are you getting any traffic increase due to the new pokers sites? Does it seems to be doing well or is it still pretty new? I think you have a good chance here.

I suggest you get it out of parking ASAP.
With all the reverse Hi-Jacking going on you need to protect the com and net.

Good Luck.

 

[Rochemontagne]

GreenGambler....the company is WPT who registered the other domains. I had the names at Sedo and I didn't see any increase in traffic.

I do worry about reverse hijacking and I have been thinking about taking them out of parking. I think that that's the smart thing to do at least at this time.

if no revenue, then there is no point of parking. Too much risk.

From looking at it all, yep it does look good for you indeed

 

[Rochemontagne]

Thanks for all of your comments. I'm going to remove them from parking and sit on them for the time being. I don't want to risk a hijacking.
Thanks again.

can you get a cheap script going and develop it? or even just a blog or info up. i'd feel like i had a stronger hand that way whatever happens...

 

[Rochemontagne]

I was once thinking about a blog and I might still do that in the future. I'll have to think about this in the next week or two. I just need to protect the names the best I can.
