If they ever legalized online gambling in the states, then perhaps my domain would have some value.

It's a long domain name, though.

When I bought it, I didn't realize that gambling ads were not allowed on US sites.

Doh!

This isn't true at all, it all depends on the site. Just take a look at one of the gambling industry 'rags', Gambling911.com | Online Sportsbooks - Online Casinos - Online Poker Rooms. They're based in the US and are using a .com, yet they're plastered with gambling ads.

Okay, I see, on actual sites ads are okay.

I have never seen a gambling ad on Google, at least from the US.

I see a few from here (Eastern Europe) but not that many.

Well yeah, none of the 'big guys' will touch gambling ads in the US.
