    Bookmaker.eu now, what happened to .ag

    Hoping this is just a cosmetic change, to get their full name back out there. Just noticed couple hours ago I was redirected to new address. I'm not trying to spread fear just curious in these uncertain times. Lou or Bill any news here?

    Have to assume it's cosmetic (i.e. "Bookmaker" is better than "bmaker"). Nothing to worry about IMO, they can always go back to BMaker.ag if they ever need/choose to.

    This. We had to expect they didn't want to stick with "bmaker" for any longer than they had to.

    I hope bookmaker goes under. They are a joke to deal with. Years ago, they were great, but lately they have been horrible. I will never do business with them again.

    assuming www.bookmaker.ag was taken so when all hell broke loose they took bmaker.ag just to have anything up

    then they realized that was a horrible name & went with .eu after seeing bodog do it

    There was not much to it except getting the brand back up. You can have unlimited websites running on the same backend and they were able to acquire the .eu. With keyword domain names like VIP.com Legends.com, sports.com, sportsbook.com and bookmaker.com it's a lot harder to go grab the domain you want because they are assets unlike betwithjoey.eu or Betthis.eu.
