The online gambling industry is a billion dollar industry and online poker accounts for a significant percentage of that revenue. The global online poker market<\/a> has grown considerably during the last 5 years and the demand for unique online poker domains has also skyrocketed. <\/p>\n The number of online gambling providers, affiliates and bloggers continue to grow each month and the competition to secure unique poker domains is fierce. Afilias, a global registry service provider has decided to launch a new set of specific Dot POKER or .Poker domains<\/strong> that will be made available to the public on a first come first serve basis. The company initially did a landrush and sunrise launch of these .dot poker domains as it wanted to test the market and see the demand. <\/p>\n The launch proved to be extremely successful as over 800 .poker names were registered during this period and a number of leading poker companies such as PokerNews and PocketFives<\/a><\/strong> purchased .poker domains. These .poker domains can be used to promote poker tournaments, poker products, poker home games and poker services. <\/p>\n In a statement, Roland LaPlante<\/strong>, Chief Marketing Officer of Afilia said <\/p>\n The poker industry is large and growing, especially the online games. .POKER will help Internet users and search engines alike to quickly identify poker-focused content worldwide. Fans, suppliers, game hosts and sponsors and other poker-focused entities now have a dedicated space on the internet. A .POKER address will help put the odds in favor of the registrant!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Some of the other top land based poker providers who have recently acquired .poker domains include top casinos like the Mirage, Caesars Palace, Borgata, Monte Carlo and Bally\u2019s. <\/p>\n
