Poker.ca’s recent $400,000 sale is jaw-dropping proof of the lucrative nature of owning a great domain name. This astonishing price tag represents the highest amount of money ever paid for a web address ending in .ca and distinguishes Poker.ca as the hottest property on the net ever registered with a .ca domain.

There’s plenty of buzz regarding the mysterious party that was responsible for this flamboyant and dynamic deal. Some speculators claim that the businessman who purchased the domain already owns a large and powerful worldwide poker conglomerate and is a frequent high stakes player in the celebrity poker circuit. The mysterious buyer, who prefers to remain anonymous, opened up about a few of the events leading up to his astronomical bid for the domain in a one of a kind interview with Poker.ca.

“It was truly a fantastic chain of events,” he confirmed. “I made the decision while playing at a private conference, competing against the world’s best players in a high-risk poker tournament. Just as I was about to play my final hand, at that moment I pledged to dedicate all of the winnings I collected to buying Poker.ca. I had never imagined that I’d be here, that I’d emerge victorious — not even in my wildest dreams — but I won.”

Since the purchase, Poker.ca has turned into an invaluable and reliable source of information for Canadian online poker players and fans.
