$0 as online casinos are not legal in Australia, which is rather short sighted of the feds. Putting aside the moral issue for a moment as gambling will occur anyway, if Australia had legalised online casino's and taxed accordingly, the income from overseas for Australia would have been off the planet.

I agree $0 for resale and $0 for end user. Unless youre lucky enough to target one of the few casinos, in which case we could be talking $X,XXX
$0? Are you kidding?
Poker.com.au sold for $100K and it's in exactly the same boat legally.
I agree with smee, the legal restriction is stupid. It's the internet, people just head overseas and other countries get the tax. Plus the other issue is harm minimisation - if online gambling was legalised in Australia, you can bet there would be better safeguards for problem gamblers than what an Aussie gets when they access a site based in Macau or whatever.
The other thing, is this restriction may well change. The Productivity Commission recommended legalising it a few years back but the government unusually decided against. If so, names like these would triple in value overnight.
For now, with the current laws, exact search of 4,400 and broad of 135,000 I'd say it's worth around $5K

It might be worth that but realistically who is going to buy it right now? At this time it would be hard to find a buyer.

And it's priced with that in mind. If there was plenty of buyers and legislation was changed, you could expect to pay much much more for it

Suspect it is possibly monetizable now, would need to be very careful on where things are based, these guys will push the limits I think also. I think there would also be a market from large gambling co's wanting to make a future bet.

Fair enough, I stand happily corrected!

$10k.
This is a great domain.
Even given the current legal situation, I think there would be buyers for this one.
If the legal situation for online gambling in Australia changed, then my appraisal would be double the figure above (probably more than).

$0 makes me laugh...
I work full-time on EMD gambling domains (.AU & international), I can tell you that some of the offers that come in are worth looking twice at (if I actually owned the domains anyway).

Little surprised by the appraisals so far. Single word generic gambling domain in the com.au. I would have thought you'd only need one good roulette whale to fly in/be flown in from a deal/offer they saw on a new roulette specific site from Crown, Star, or SkyCity..to make a domain like this worth a whole lot more than 15K.. All entirely legal btw.

Can you expand? AFAIK, roulette has a very high edge in favour of the casino when compared to other games.
Sounds like you don't go to the casino very often snoop..

Good domain, I agree with the comments about the legal rules.
But from looking at Poker(dot)com(dot)au what are the rules around affiliate links from the com.au to an international affiliates. I have read into the rules and I know you can not run the business in Australian shores but what is the rules around operating an affiliate too international businesses? (can any one comment who knows these rules)
In regards to the value, its hard to saw I would say 5,000-10,000+ range, possibly more to the right end user. No way is this domain worth $0 that is silly.
I also know their are a few roulette affiliates online as I remember seeing them in some international affiliate programs.
In regards to playing roulette, it is one of my top games at the casino, you can either win big or loose big when I was in Monaco in July I lost 650 Euro in one night on the tables lol... don't get me wrong Black Jack and Poker are also great but theirs something about the vibe roulette can give off when you have a packed table.
Kind Regards.
