Macau Casino Auction List Posted

[npcomplete]

Hey folks, the Master Auction List for the Macau China Casino auction has been posted:

I am a bit surprised that the list was posted this early! The last TRAFFIC list was posted about two weeks before auction. The Macau auction list has more than 3 weeks before the actual auction... almost enough to do real marketing!

None of mine made the list.

There were names added to Miami TRAFFIC up to the last couple of days before the auction, so there is still a chance. I was tracking the daily changes in the Auction List for TRAFFIC, and the last minute additions/deletions were surprising.

One of the two I submitted is accepted
Let's hope someone wealthy will put an eye on my domain

I guess I can hope that one or two of mine will be selected later. Some of these names on the current list are lame.

I'm really surprised that there are only 4 Cotai names on the whole list and only 1 Macao. Wow.

 

[domainerph]

Most of the names are under MACAU

I know, I'm just saying since Macao is an accepted version of the word, it seems like there would be more of it. And Cotai is where the vast majority of new casinos are being built.

I actually agree with Capiche on this one. It is a bit surprising that there are not more Macao and Cotai names. I had 17 domains accepted for this auction, but was totally surprised that some of my Cotai names did not make the cut... especially when you consider that some of my "weaker" names made it in.

thanks for posting that the list was up. i got two on.

I, too, am surprised with the lack of Macao and Cotai names...would have thought there would have been more. Any feelings on in-person vs. online bidding? I would think anyone seriously involved with gambling names and/or sites would want to go to Macau, especially if they haven't been there yet. Also, I'm wondering if this auction will attract many bidders from Asia or Europe.

I've got:

How can I submit them?

i'm surprised your sportsbook.lv and bookies.lv didn't make it. the .lv ext can easily stand for las vegas which, in my opinion, is a more attractive ext for gambling domains than most others. i think you still have some high $XXX to low $XXXX names there.

Marc, what do you think would be the best ways to market names in the auction? TIA

 

[Rochemontagne]

Todd,

Thanks for the kind comments. I do believe that .lv can be branded to mean Las Vegas, just as some are branding .la to mean Los Angeles.
I have 3 .lv names....Sportsbook.lv, Bookies.lv and 8888.lv

That is a surprise about .lv , since it is a good extension for gambling. It is a good idea to mention that in the seller's comments field. Not as if people don't know that, but it draws attention to the fact in a review.

Overall though, a good diversity of tld's, with the usual concentrations, and a few new growth tld's. A good number of .mobi's made the list, indicating an obvious trend...

I'm surprised people thought the fact it was in Macau would mean it was all about Macau/Chinese gambling domain names ? It's a CAC. Or am I missing something ?

6 of mine made the list purely on gambling terms.

Correct - it is a gambling names auction - not Macau /Macao - that is the venue. :hi:

I agree, but with the Macau location and people being there seeing what's going on, the Macau-related gambling names should get extra exposure and demand.
