A web domain devoted to poker is up for sale for a reported $20 million.

According to iGaming Business, the website poker.com is on the market, and the price being sought would make it one of the most expensive domains sales in history. The price tag puts it ahead of prices for sites such as Hotels.com, Porn.com, Sex.com and Internet.com. Insurance.com was sold in 2010 for what is believed to be a record $35 million.

The $20 million for Poker.com, which was registered in 1999, is listed with the domain auction company NameJet, the report said. If it isn’t sold before the end of next month, it will be auctioned to the highest bidder at an event called NamesCon, which is held in Las Vegas.

Other poker-related domains set for auction include wsopoker.net, pokerante.com, skillpoker.com, pokermoney.com, poker.asia and various domain extensions of “Holdem.”

Poker.asia reportedly leads the second-tier of domains with a $5 million price tag.
