Was indeed an NP member. And I agree that it's a decent price for the extension!

There seem to be quite a few sales of gambling related cctld names from countries where gambling is illegal -Casino.hk for one and many others. I hope it does not come back to bite the sellers if the names suddenly get pulled for non compliance :gl:

 

[singx]

Well, a stupid thing like gambling i hope never enters pakistan, the name only ha value for the extension rhymes with the keyword.

Very true, i'm seeing many poker ccTLDs are going hot. It seems like all possible brandable .coms' are gone.

i got 2 private offers from a same guy for one of my poker name. I rejected both. Low 4-figures though.

Lets see where this thing going to end.

Yes, IMHO it is the reason for this price.

 

[zehrila]

apart from all that according to pk legislations if some one legally raise this issue of poker.pk pk registry would simply ban the domain like they did with sex.com.pk Promotions of any things like Casino Poker Sex is not allowed in pakistan.

Promotions of any things like Casino Poker Sex is not allowed in pakistan.

The domain will definitely get banned if they will try to build a website on it. Pakistan is very strict for this law.

 

[khuldun]

Yep! Should have known Pakistan is an Islamic republic where this sort of a thing is illegal! Might be in trouble this fellow I feel sorry for him

Hello EVERYONE,

Yes I sold it :D.

Didnt really think gambling was banned XD.

HMM. If your company isnt based in pakistan i think you could develop it?

DS- Very nice sale. Congrats.

 

[sufi]

Nice sale, congrats damitssam

 

[khuldun]

Yeah, the sale is nice but the buyer might be in trouble though.

damitssam, did pknic tell you anything or contacted you when you registered this name?

 

[Sam]

No,

I actually had to email them to confirm transfer. And they gladly complied.

Thanks,
Sam

Even the buyer is from NP, small world (Hi Sam)
That was indeed the reason (Poker.pk 'rhymes') why I paid that price, but also any Poker.ext is worth now at least $1,500, so I think it is a reasonable price. Gambling is indeed illegal in Pakistan, but so it is in many other countries. I do not think it will be a problem, but I have to admit that I take a bit of a risk here. If it would be a problem, why does the .PK NIC gives out those names? For example .ae (Emirates) does not give out casino.ae and poker.ae. I think poker.pk is really brandable, kind of like pkr.com. Personally, I believe good keywords in any extension will have a better future return than 3 word .coms, but that is IMO of course, John.

It is your (NOT .PK’s) responsibility to ensure that you don’t break the rule/law. Man, I am sorry to say that you will be in trouble if you will develop a poker website on this domain. Only one complain to .PK will ban your domain because if .PK will not take the action then administration of .PK will be in trouble as Pakistan / Pakistan Government is very very strict about this law.

 

[Mrwonder]

If the company is not based in Pakistan then they can develop a poker business on this site. The Law in my knowledge is that. Anyway good sale ..

 

[tm]

If i were you I'd redirect it to some other poker site on a different domain of yours.

 

[khuldun]

They had the same problem with sex.pk in the end they cancelled the name.
