For all you poker fans out there, these domains literally just dropped:
POKERSATRS.co.uk
POKRESTARS.co.uk
PARTYPOER.co.uk
PARTPYOKER.co.uk
POKERSTAS.co.uk
PKOERSTARS.co.uk
POERSTARS.co.uk
POKESRTARS.co.uk
POKEROROM.co.uk
POKEROROM.co.uk
POKERROMO.co.uk
Pokerstars, if you’re reading this, it might be a good idea to pick these domains up ASAP! Since pokerstars.com just got pinched by the feds. I’d like to go one day without hearing about the US attacking another country or deciding what’s best for the world. Yeah sure, Stars continued taking US gamers, just like most of the other big gaming sites. But hell, close their US bank accounts, arrest their US directors, block pokerstars.com access within the U.S but don’t take their domain which is used WORLDWIDE.
It looks like the FBI haven’t managed to grab pokerstars.co.uk. Hopefully if they try, Nominet will put up a fight and remind America that they don’t rule the whole world. I’d be hella pissed right now If I was Pokerstars. Look at their backlinks and you’ll get an idea of how much link budgets they’ve been going through. Even if they setup on a new domain, they’ve lost all that hard work!
