Following hot on the heels of the record-breaking sale of fund.com for almost US$10 million comes the sale of casino.de for ?400,000 (US$591,000). It is inaccurately claimed to be the record price for a .de domain name – the record goes to another gambling-related domain name, poker.de, that sold for ?695,000 in 2007. However it is the fifth highest reported domain name sale of 2008 with all five sales by private sale.
