To RJ,
Thank you. Your knowledgable words are always right. I do agree with you.
But there is another point here.
In Chinese culture, we do not like single or odd number. We always prefer double or multiple. Sometimes the more is the better. Especially in the inner mainland or farest countryside where the tradition is kept more than in big sities, Some people even do not go out for a trip on odd number date. This is a little unbelievable from foreigners, but this is the culture. Single number or odd number means unlucky. Double or multiple or even number means better and acceptable. For example, when we go to a cars show, if some one says it is a car show, OK, only one car why I bother to go to have a look? cars show is better, I will go to see many cars, compare them and select one from them...
Poker is super popular in China. 1.3 billion people maybe all above 10 years can play poker. When you go to ask HuJintao, who is the president of China, He must tell you he can play poker. When you go to the farest countryside, ask the poorest person, he must also tells you he can play poker. Poker is one necessary part of social life. The pronounciation of Chinese word '扑克＂is the same as in English.
So poker is much much more acceptable than casino or gamble, because less than 1% people know the word casino. Even I took the GRE American English verbal test, 94% of global examinees are below my score, honestly speaking, before I started to be intrested in domain names, I didn't know the difference between the English words casino/cassino and gamble. I am not telling the score. I am only explaining which is a better word for Chinese culture and why, because the market of Hongkong is mostly faced to people from Chinese culture circle.
Poker and gamble are often related with luckness. When people go to bet, do they prefer to go to the odd word place? Or they feel the plural name website is tetter?
Everything we are faced is the enduser, the enduser is faced to the end consumers. The endconsumers' feeling will decide which one is their favorite.
But of course, I still should say, I am not insist pokers.hk is better than poker.hk, I am only saying pokers.hk is not much worse than poker.hk.
yes, SKG, you are right ,there are still more than 10 pokers.cctlds left.
But do you think they can be comparable with Hongkong? Hongkong is not only a Hongkong, Hongkong is the gate of China. Hongkong is also the neighbour of Macao which is one of the largest betting capitals not smaller than Las Vegas.
Only Singapore can compare with hongkong, but Singapore is a city country with the strictest law in the world.
So I do not care the other cctlds because they are not the hotspots.
To SKG, You just sold onlinepoker.hk. This is your post, I think pokers.hk and onlinepoker.hk have some similarity.
