Default Poker.com.au sells for 100K!
Just saw this on a FB feed. UFB deal for the buyer of this gem IMHO.....

BTW - Poker.ca sold recently for 400K only a few months ago!

Regulation on gambling sites in Australia devalues it considerably. If lifted though - absolute bargain...

That's quite an impressive figure! Not huge on a global scale, but great for an AU domain.

I wish I knew poker.com.au was going for such a low price. I would have paid more for it and I know lots of others who have paid more also.

They sold it way too low!

I'm guessing it's that 888 mob sponsoring Warnie - http://au.888.com/

Funny despite the $1.1m/day fine they seem to do OK in Australia!!!

Remember it is very much illegal to even advertise third party poker rooms in Australia. Plus against Adsense TOS so perhaps hard to make a decent return.

Hi David, why is it illegal and who controls it and will punish poker.com.au? cant they simply get around the rules by " advertising" a poker banner to their offshore website and " offshore" business?

I think they will be hard up closing it down if poker.com.au and 888 set it up legally correctly ?
