It's quite a big developed site, so not really a "comparable" sale.

kinda shocked he let it go this cheap after the last poker.whatever record sale thread...

However bird in the hand etc... well done to him. Its a tidy sum so congrats, as long as he's happy thats all that counts

listed on dnjournal so they consider it a domain sale

im sure his site never looked this good lol
looks like its being completely rebuilt to me, in which case it was sold on a domain only basis

Ron's normally pretty strict on this so I'm guessing was the case
no screenshots over at domaintools

sure old site was green and dated looking with not much info on

Looks like the current website is the one that was on there already:

http://www.here.org.uk/2010/09/pokerorguk-relaunched.html

Currently ranking on Google at #25.

Not really sure what to make of the price. Seems cheap to me, especially with Poker.org selling for $1m.

Is this the most expensive .org.uk sale?

Fantastic sale !

Will .org.uk ever match .co.uk ?

JMOT · May 12, 2011

Franks pretty good at twisting peoples arms into paying over the odds for .org.uk

but I dont think this is the highest??

No.

Think what poker.co.uk would reach?!

I heard a rumour they had turned down a 7fig offer at one point.

Ok seeing big price .org.uk sales is bound to get .org.uk owners (including myself) excited but you're right probably will never match but I reckon it will become more accepted and used commercially as I have already been noticing 8)

Great buy at that price looks like it's still an old site though the bingo link in the footer still points to a site owned by a Kieron.

Maybe I should put freeonlinepoker.org.uk up for auction

Nice .org.uk sale . If the .org.uk corresponding to this and other ultra competitive terms are successful, I can see .org.uk prices rising even more. Since it's already ranking reasonably well, poker.org.uk must have enormous potential.
