Key Market Entry at a floor price of $4.5 Million, Casino.jp is on the Market Amid Japan’s iGaming Expansion.
In an unprecedented move within the iGaming and domain sectors, the sought-after domain name Casino.jp is now open for acquisition for the first time. With a starting price of $4.5 million USD, this domain represents a rare entry point into Japan’s burgeoning gambling market, facilitated by an enterprise-oriented domain brokerage, Domainer.com.
Japan, with its complex gambling laws, is on the brink of a gaming revolution, highlighted by the 2023 approval of the $8.1 Billion casino-centred integrated resort in Osaka. Set to open in 2029, it is a collaboration between MGM Resorts and Orix, as reported by Reuters. This venture is rekindling interest among major operators and investors, eager to explore the untapped Japanese market.
The Catalyst Behind the Buzz
Why should the iGaming and domain communities take notice? For starters, the anticipated opening of the Osaka Resort in 2029 is set to shake up the Asian gambling landscape, currently dominated by Macau. With Macau generating over $22.7 billion USD in 2023 alone, the new resort poses a formidable challenge, promising to divert significant revenue streams with its projected annual earnings of $3.5 billion USD, almost half of that reported by Las Vegas entirely in 2023.
Domain Names: The Gateway to Industry Dominance
The value of premium gambling domain names cannot be overstated, having commanded staggering sums in the past. Icons like Slots.com and Casino.com were sold, in 2010 and 2003 respectively, for as much as $5.5 million USD each, underscoring the critical role of a powerful domain in establishing market presence. “Choosing the right domain is the first step in making a bold market entry,” states Ian Garner Chief Domain Officer of Domainer.com, emphasizing the importance of domains in branding and market visibility. Domainer.com’s recent $15 million USD brokerage of a deal for NFTS.com further illustrates the high stakes involved in domain trading.
Navigating Japan’s Gambling Regulations
While Japan’s gambling laws are currently restrictive, the government is progressively legalizing new forms of betting, including sports-related activities like horse races, boat races, and indoor cycling. However, the online gambling scene remains tightly controlled, with the anticipated legalization in some sectors sparking a significant potential for growth. As regulations evolve, early investment in a domain like Casino.jp could position an entity advantageously, ready to capitalize as the market opens further.
In Conclusion:
Casino.jp is more than a domain—it’s a key to unlocking Japan’s lucrative, yet tightly regulated gambling industry. This is a strategic call to entities poised to establish a foothold in a market on the cusp of substantial regulatory changes. Interested parties are encouraged to contact Ian Garner through Casino.jp’s contact page or directly via Domainer.com to explore this unparalleled investment opportunity.

EEGS Webinar on Engaging Gen Z – Insights from Ana D’Arrigo
Reading Time: < 1 minute
On October 15th, EEGS hosted a dynamic webinar titled “Winning over Gen Z: How to Engage the Next Generation of Players”, featuring renowned speaker Ana D’Arrigo. This session marked the first webinar since the summer break and was highly anticipated.
The webinar was a practical, experience-based discussion, enriched with real-world examples from leading companies. Ana shared valuable insights drawn from her personal experience, offering attendees actionable strategies to connect with the elusive Gen Z audience.
The session commenced with a thorough exploration of “Who are Gen Z?” – the first digital natives, highly tech-savvy, and increasingly challenging to target through traditional marketing. Ana highlighted that Gen Z-ers are distinct: they prioritize authenticity, lead with purpose, express themselves creatively, value transparency, are entrepreneurial, and driven by their values. Despite having short attention spans, they engage deeply when content resonates with them.
A key takeaway from the webinar was the shift needed in marketing approaches: “To win Gen Z, stop marketing to them – start creating with them,” a powerful insight echoed by ChatGPT and emphasized by Ana. Instead of mass marketing, personalized, authentic content that involves Gen Z in the creation process is essential.
Further, Ana discussed the future of marketing to Gen Z, emphasizing ongoing engagement and authenticity. She actively engaged with the audience, responding to intriguing questions and fostering a lively discussion.
