Added to Moniker Auction — Gin.com, HorseRacing.com

Moniker’s Casino Affiliate Convention 2007 silent domain name auction has added more domains with record-breaking potential.

As if Poker.com and Slots.com were not enough to give Moniker’s casino domain name auction the potential to be the biggest auction ever, the firm disclosed ten more high value domains:

– Scores.com
– Gin.com
– HorseRacing.com
– DailyDouble.com
– eBet.com
– BestOdds.com
– Casinos.mobi
– Lucky7.com

Gin.com has a lot of potential given the recent sale of Vodka.com for $3M. Still, it is unlikely that alcohol firms will be fast enough to get in on the action and to place bids online. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see this domain sell following the auction due to auction publicity.

Casinos.mobi has a good comparable sale for bidders. Sportsbook.mobi sold for $129,800 in January.

The auction could break the record for the biggest domain auction ever with the sale of one domain – Poker.com. To give you an idea of the value of this domain, a typo of poker.com – porker.com – sold for $155,000 in 2005.

Despite the number of high quality domains in the auction, there’s still a cloud overhead due to the uncertain future of online gaming in the U.S.
