Poker.org made history by being the first .org domain to be sold for one million dollars. The next largest price ever to be paid for an .org domain was $198,000.

There has been quite a rise in the amount of money that .org domains have been selling for recently.

The year 2009 appears to have been a good year for the .org domains. Domain registration for these names has seen a significant rise in the past year alone with an increase of 11% in 2009 alone.

Poker.org was purchased by PokerCompany.com; they are a super affiliate that is involved with online casinos and other gambling related websites.

PokerCompany.com also runs popular online gaming portals such as BlackJack.org, EveryPoker.com, Rakeback.org, and Craps.net.

Online poker sites have been steadily becoming more popular and it looks as if this popularity can be expected to continue growing at a decent rate.

There are currently more than 7 million domains with the .org extension. This makes .org domains the third largest extension on the internet.

The high price paid for Poker.org sheds even more light on what can be expected from online poker rooms with regards to the growth they can expect.

Poker.org is a good domain name for PokerCompany.com to have purchased since the only word in the URL is “poker”. Not only is this simple for anyone to remember, but it can also be used for anything to do with poker. Therefore, it is a very versatile name that can have many various uses and a good find.
