It is difficult to say what this means for the poker industry in the United States, as the poker game remains banned in most states. Perhaps the situation will change in future, and then such a domain name will be very useful to the owner of poker site.
In 2017, poker.com was listed for sale for $20 000 000, but there were no buyers. Now, the site is non-operational. This domain belongs to the private individual in the UK.
