Taking stock of high-priced .BET domains, NNBet and NNNBet.com

2024 is a year of opportunities and challenges for the domain name industry, with “Bet” being one of the most prominent keywords. Whenever you look at keyword data from Sedo and Afternic, “Bet” always ranks in the top 10, showing its strong demand in the market.

According to Namebio, sales of domain names ending in “Bet” have totaled more than $895,000, an increase of nearly $200,000 over the entire year of 2023, with 278 transactions. This growth reflects the continued prosperity of the gaming industry.

While domains like LightBet.com and AllBet.com topped the sales charts, Bet.com domains in NN or NNN format were more prominent. For example, 69Bet.com was successfully sold for $140,000, while this domain was acquired for only $960 in 2017. Similarly, 27Bet.com sold for $80,000, and the domain was acquired for $1,751 via GoDaddy's expired auction in 2021. And 13Bet.com also sold for $74,995, a domain that was acquired at Dynadot and expired in February 2023 for $6,197.57.

Interestingly, the buyer of these three bit domains may be the same person, as they all use Above.com and both 69Bet & 27Bet closed on the same day (July 4th).

Additionally, the .Bet top-level domain has also had a solid year, with Bet.Bet selling for a whopping $600,000, making it the highest-selling domain of all the new gTLDs.

As the gaming market continues to grow, the performance of NNBet and NNNBet.coms certainly bodes well for more opportunities and challenges ahead. Domain investors and buyers need to keep a close eye on developments in this space to capitalize on upcoming opportunities.
