Jackpot.com domain sells for $500,000

Jackpot! Moniker sells Jackpot.com for a big payout.

Jackpot.comA British Virgin Islands firm has purchased the domain name Jackpot.com for $500,000.

The sale was brokered by Moniker. The domain name has been listed in multiple Moniker live auctions, but the sale occurred following the most recent live auction at DOMAINfest.

The updated whois record for the domain shows Palek International Ltd as the fresh owner. The firm appears to have been set up just for this web site. Still, using DomainTools’ reverse IP tool, I found that the fresh IP address for Jackpot.com hosts just one other site: lottery.net.

Lottery.net is registered to Parthenon Investments, with a technical contact at Take That Ltd.

Take That Ltd owns a number of online gambling portals counting Lottery.co.uk and Gamble.co.uk.
