New top level domain company Donuts has sold the domain name Online.Casino for $510,000, a record for a publicly-disclosed sale of a second level domain under a new TLD.
The sale tops Donuts’ previous record-setting sales of home.loans for $500,000 and vacation.rentals for $500,300.
Donuts completed the all-cash transaction in June.
“It’s another large sale to an end user and we’re excited to follow their site launch next year,” Matt Overman, SVP of Sales for Donuts, told Domain Name Wire. “We expect big things from online.casino similar to home.loans and vacation.rentals.”
