December 28 - Gambling Invest, a media company based in the United Kingdom, announced that it would be holding a special internet sale of domain names next month.
Over 2,000 gambling related domains are up for sale and will be auctioned off between January 26 and February 2, 2011, according to the group.
The founder of Gambling Invest, Pierluigi Buccioli said: "Domain names in general and gambling domains in particular are an excellent investment.
The domains cover all elements of gambling from casino to poker and from sports betting to jackpots.
Some of those up for sale include names such as jackpotnews.com, igaming.us and tennispicks.com.
"Demand and prices for gambling domains have continued to go up in the last two years despite the economic crisis and recession, confirming that domains can be used to capture qualified internet traffic and to establish a company's identity online," said Buccioli.
"But they are also an excellent investment for buyers that are prepared to hold onto them for a few years as well as operators who develop domain names into web properties.
He added that with the US considering the introduction of online gambling regulations and several other countries opening up their markets to international competition, "it is safe to say that 2011 will be another record year for gambling domains."
