Last week saw several major domain deals. DN Journal reports that several domain names were purchased in six-figure deals ($100,000 and up). The sale of BettingOdds.com being especially noteworthy. The GamingUSA betting company, which, despite its name, is registered in the United Kingdom, bought the domain name BettingOdds.com for £390,000 (around $488,000 at the time of the purchase). This is the year’s seventh biggest sale in the domain market. Everything seems to suggest that a new website will be launched on the domain soon, which currently brings up a Coming Soon splash page on it.
GamingUSA did not stop there and made another impressive purchase, HorseRacing.net ($60,000), although the deal seems rather modest compared to the other sales of the week. NCC.com changed owners for $300,000 and Crystals.com for $188,000. Another deal worth noting is the sale of Viajes.es (“viajes” is “travel”) in the Spanish ccTLD. The domain name was purchased for €147,000 making it the largest deal involving a ccTLD since the beginning of the year.
