Canadian Poker Domain Sold To Mystery PurchaserRumours Abound Concerning Purchase of Domain Poker.ca; Now Most Valuable Canadian Domain |
|
Canadian domain, Poker.ca, became the most valuable .ca domain on the Internet when it sold for more than $400,000. Not only that, it is rumoured that Poker.ca was bought by a well-known poker player who already owns one of the largest poker affiliates.
The man behind the purchase wishes to remain anonymous for now but did answer some questions asked by Poker.ca.
Regarding the story behind the purchase, he said, "The story is actually pretty amazing. In the midst of a private high-stakes poker tournament, along with several of the greatest names in poker, we got to talking about how online poker is getting bigger every day, especially in Canada.
“When the final hand began, I decided that if I were to win (which I frankly wasn’t expecting by that time), I’d take the cash and buy Poker.ca. Who knew that I’d actually end up winning the game? So here I am.”
Poker.ca was sold for a good deal more than any other site ending in .ca.
