Rebatewager switching to .ag from .com

[The DiB]

Any concern here? Or is this just becoming the norm for the industry?

[zsr]

wouldnt be worried, seems like everyone has gone to .eu or .ag this year.

Looks like .com still loads without redirecting as well, but nothing to worry about. It's becoming the industry standard thing to do, .com will soon be the minority.

no doubt everything will be the same

With the u.s. government these are good measures to take.

.ag is effective Monday

I would worry

I have a conflict of interest in this arena, as I am partnered with investors who currently possess the .eu
domains of a few of the higher profile offshore books.

So with that disclosure out of the way, it's clear Lou is spot on about the evolving 'new normal' of sports book domain extensions moving to .eu from .com.

This is clearly validated by the preemptive move of shops like bookmaker, Sportsbook, and BoDog who have already changed to .eu or .ag.

I have read many articles preaching the wisdom of this behavior of books as 1) Not waiting till they get seized,
2) Obtaining the .eu extension while the market for that extension is still relatively cheap, and perhaps the most compelling: 3) Understanding the marketing importance of not getting left behind as the public awareness, acceptance and safety of the .eu climbs every day.

This is a richly fascinating arena, in no small measure due to it's similarities to the 'Wealth Upside' granted to those possessing the foresight of the Internet years ago.

This topic is surfacing again now. I posted some links to industry reports in another post.

With the exception that cybersquatting legislation is more deeply entrenched in most countries.

Thanks for the update.
