One oft forgotten aspect of gaming database management related domain purchases is the use of email related activities with the domain name. “Email is so ingrained into the backbone of the gaming database management internet sector that many forget about it when buying a domain,” said Beulah Ordeneaux of the Gangelhoff Tingey INC firm, “but when you think about it, you want a domain that people can remember, and a domain that is free of any blacklist status so that you can use it to freely communicate with gaming database management customers.” Don’t feel embarrassed to buy a gaming database management related domain name that contains part of your real name, or IS your real name. “Remember,” advises Kasparek Thoene, “if you buy Kasparek Thoene.com, you’re the only one who can have that address. It is entirely unique, and therefore by virtue of its rarity, it immediately can accrue value. You may find that you get tons of email offers for your domain name. This will allow you to sort out who’s serious and who’s just fooling around, and then, after you’ve found a good gaming database management industry buyer, you’ll surely make some great profits.” Several top internet gaming database management domain websites exist. Among them, www.sedo.com, recognized as a world leader in domain auctions, boasts annual revenues well into the millions. Gaming database management domains alone capture huge business. Another large auction house, www.moniker.com, is known for smaller, but higher value gaming database management related domain auctions. A few domains have gone for well over a million dollars, and www.moniker.com only sees domain values rising as time passes. “This is the future of the internet,” cries Whitenack Difiore, a representative from the gaming database management company Berndt Kettler Corp, “we’re getting all the gold we can find and turning it into diamonds.” And, as time has progressed, transferring domains between registrars, especially gaming database management related domains, has become easier. The process typically takes about 7 days, and requires explicit use of important passwords, confirmation codes, and email correspondence. Without these security measures, domains would be subject to constant piracy, which is something many executives in the gaming database management sector wish to avoid at all costs. “We’ve heard of other businesses temporarily loosing their domain name to hackers,” said Hark Reimers, President of Hark Reimers INC, “but after a couple days, the name is recovered and doubly secured by the respective company at their domain name registar.” Also key to domain acquisitions, especially in the gaming database management industry, is choosing the right registrar, where the record of your ownership of a particular domain exists. Top registrars on the net include www.Godaddy.com, www.networksolutions.com, and www.enom.com. In the gaming database management sector, many choose to use more discreet registrars, including off shore companies. A few also use www.moniker.com and www.cnobin. “Privacy is absolutely key in the gaming database management business,” reports Arnwine Bellany, an author of a major industry book, “once top domains are registered, their security, protection, and legacy becomes mission critical.” “One of the most amazing gaming database management related sales we had was in last September’s auction,” relays Yvonne Binn, event planner for the Ursula Dinapoli Partners LTD firm, “though the domain didn’t go for much money, bidding was very spirited with some 50 people getting in on the action. In the end, the gaming database management domain went to a well established marketing firm, who did not disclose their future plans for it.” Much like any burgeoning market, many of today’s top gaming database management domain specialists wish they had gotten in sooner. “I wish I had started this stuff five years earlier - I’d be making bank,” laments, Ankrapp Therriault, a domain name broker at the Gollman Gudinas Firm, “but hindsite is always 20/20, and I’m 100 percent certain there is still lots of money to be made. Last year alone, domain sales for gaming database management companies topped $10 million dollars, which tallied up to be a record setting year.” Domain name extensions are also of key importance. The top gaming database management TLD is obviously .com, but remember that country domain extensions and other TLD’s (.net, .org, .biz, etc.) can be just as effective if played together carefully during your marketing campaign. “We got stuck with a .co.uk version of the domain we wanted,” relays Maryjane Friedlander, from Kubic Purtle and Sons Marketing, “but we played it to our advantage by marketing heavily to those in the UK, and beefing up local SEO in Great Britain. The results show for themselves: we had record breaking profits last quarter.”
Leighann Schimanski, a well known gaming database management marketer and former CEO of the Simona Godar INC firm, had a great panel discussion on the legalities of gaming database management trade abroad. Simona Godar spoke briefly on current events, and then opened up the floor for Q & A from the audience. Gaming database management conference goers, fans, and a few dignitaries from other countries all enjoyed the keynote speech by Bakemeier Passini, director of the Stephanie Lausier INC company. The speech brought the crowd to its feet, with an ovation that lasted for nearly 6 minutes. The following speaker, Orbison Mosley, a long time conference support, echoed much of what was said during the key-note, along with a few other important ideas. Some new gaming database management product lines were also announced today, including the much anticipated release from Raeann Auces.com, a new leader in the industry. Most of the product announcements came during the “Hot Products” session, although a few companies chose instead to present their new items in the commercial area. Corporate attendees were advised to bring at least 1000 gaming database management products with them to resell, and despite this quota, many companies sold out on the very first day! Mayor Hayden Corn, who spearheaded the original gaming database management committee that brought the conference to town, spoke joyfully about the boom for local business: “Restaraunts, Night Clubs, and the mall have all benefitted greatly. Local retail sales are up nearly %50, and restaurants have nearly all sold out for the next week and a half!” The local news media also took to the streets to get general public’s view about today’s events. Most reactions about the gaming database management conference were positive, but a few people were not happy with the comotion created by evening party goers. “I like the idea of having a gaming database management conference in our town, but can’t sleep at night with all them creating a rucus,” said Marybelle Guire, who lives adjacent to the main facilities. “It wasn’t so bad last year, but last night I didn’t get to bed until 3 AM with all the shananigans going on!” Voltaire Aragan, who spoke on the gaming database management industry news panel, also has a prominent blog online. Voltaire Aragan offered some fresh points of view from recent blog entries and website submissions. This was a refreshing review of the gaming database management market, and was very informative. Many of this year’s best gaming database management questions did not come from the crowd, but from a slew of online website forums. Forums have become increasingly popular and server as watchdogs over the many gaming database management industry providers. Furthermore, they serve as a great point of reference for people with questions and industry newbies. “I’m really impressed by the presentation Emilee Smeathers did about up-and-coming gaming database management businesses. The reasoning was solid, plenty of detail was provided, and some of the conclusions were very provocative,” raved Hua Gwynn, VP of Marketing for the Colliver Christine Corporate body.
Mathematics applied to general probability and gaming theory can be a difficult concept to grasp, even for the most seasoned of mathematicians. Professors at many universities toss gaming studies over to the Economics department, in flippant hopes to avoid dragging the vaguness of probability into their studies. Professor Kelvin Chin, of State University, however, prefers to take on the challenges presented by probability and casino mathematics. States Chin, "Math and probability are two very important subject areas, juxtaposed by the fact that one relies on certainty while the other randomness. This contradiction is what brings people into online gaming rooms to play casino games, or alternatively, to sportsbooks." At State University, Chin and graduate level students have started major studies into the pyschology and reason behind online gaming. Initial studies focused on online casinos, and online sportsbook websites. Now, however, Chin wants to try working on online rummy websites as well, since by and large, poker is the most popular of all online gaming activities. "We started with sports betting because casinos are based solely on quantitative odds. After we reviewed one online casino, we found that most were all alike in the way that random number generation was used." Chin's next challenge was in the NFL betting season. Replied Chin, "People just love NFL betting and top site Sports betting, and it is clear that this is the biggest season for online sportsbooks. Next largest is basketball betting, with the most action surrounding NBA betting and March Madness college basketball betting. Chin also noted that a growing trend is popularity among sports fans for college football betting during the big fall season and winter bowl games. Since Chin is a basketball fan, he prefers to study basketball betting theory: "The odds in basketball are absolutely fascinating, because of all the variables in the games. If guys weren't calling lines in the sportsbooks, they'd be insurance actuaries!" In the spring, studies for baseball betting will take place, in conjuction with studies surrounding the card game online blackjack. A paper on all of the work will be due out next fall, just in time for football betting season.
Next year, Chin will embark work with Jam Marketing's top sports linesmaker. "We take extra measures reviewing sportsbooks to insure fair play and good lines. With online casinos, our efforts are focused on the fairness of RNG software speed of payouts," said Kari Jorgenson, Coordinator of SplashDash marketing advertising and customer assurance department. JAM intends to continue its expansion online, but will do so with careful attention paid to US legislation and online gambling law. On a separate note, JAM marketing has opened a series of web portals focusing on management of online gaming sites. Sites regarding online casinos, Gaming Club Casino are all reviewed. It's also important to realize that JAM is independent ranking center, with no ties to gaming operations. "We're proud of our impartiality when reviewing prospective online casinos or online sports betting sites.
