If you HAD to sell it…..how much would you ask? I do not know how to price/appraise websites but I’m assuming you sell it for whatever the yearly revenue was? Am I correct?
:banger:
There are 2 ways of looking at this.
1. You panic acquire a doom and gloom outlook and sell it for buttons due to everyone else who is thinking that way will sell their site and as such it will become a buyers market.
2. You do exactly what Frist did and find a “sneaky, nasty, loophole, insert whatever word u would describe the situation as HERE* and carry on as normal, whilst sitting smugly at home ( or Bagdad which is probably safer for him at the minute) patting yourself on the head for having the foresight to carry on regardless whilst circumventing the law
Don’t rush into selling you may regret it.
I will sell my sites for $ 2 million each, as of this morning. If there are no takers at that price, I may consider $ 1.9 million. Please let me know, and don’t be bashful on the offers…..
I’m probably going to sell for about 10% of what I would have considered a few weeks ago.

At the moment you would have to sell for 1 months rev or even less.
Guys lets wait until Friday or so before we start panicing and selling sites for peanuts. If Microgaming and RTG continue to accept wagers from players in states where there is no specific law prohibiting online gambling then your sites will be worth considerably more then they would be today.
Just a suggestion…
In the mean time lets find out what we need to do EXACTLY to be in compliance with the new law. As long as the ISPs dont block all of them there may be legal ways to generate revenue from these sites. Granted it wont be at the same levels as it was before legislation, but I hate to see peoples hard work literally given away without maximizing returns.

The Professor is right,
It doesn’t matter how successful your site has been so far.. This law can and will most likely prevent Over 30 Million Players and/or Potential Players from gambling real money online.Whether your great portal has generated $200, $2000 or $10,000 each month.. That’s History under the current circumstances.
Moreover,
If you were selling links, advertisements, content or whatever you could sell on your site or using your site.. How many clients will you have in the next months?And what about the programs?
Does your best converting programs still accept US Players? Will they keep accepting players for a long time?I am sorry to be in the position of saying these words, it hurts me to say as much as it is painful to hear them.
But unless your site is something extraordinary and gets at least about 1000-1500 daily unique visitors.. It will not be worth more than a few hundred dollars at the best case because:1. Traffic will drop down a lot. With 30 Million players gone, it will have impact on your traffic.
2. If you sell your site with or without the aff acounts. It doesn’t really matters as with US players gone and those who aren’t gone are not accpted by the casinos.. profits will free fall.
3. If your site generated additional income from links and ads selling.. this will also drop down { or vanish at worst scenario }.
Buying any gambling portal these days is a risk. Getting what you feel is a good price for your site might be impossible.
Me and a few other CAP members are offering a partnership solution that enables potential sellers to keep owning and operating their sites by hosting them abroad. This way you can keep earning money while getting rid of the risk.
I believe this is the best possible solution available considering the circumstances and the other options which are selling your site for peanuts or take down your site.
I wish i could pay more for sites i like to buy, but it is a great risk for me as well.. a risk that i can’t always afford.
even high traffic portals are effectively going to be worthless (assuming it gets only us traffic) – since you won’t be able to monetize it (i doubt ebooks on roulette gambling systems is going to cut it)
US gambling traffic, once one of the most expensive PPC niches has now been rendered worthless

Exactly, with US traffic unable to deposit and play.. Even the top earners will be worth very little and even they target US players.. they will be limited by the number of programs they can promote.
Look at the threads.. more and more portals are now on sale..
Frankly speaking, it’s embarrassing to offer them just a few hundred dollars for their sites.. so embarrassing that i simply avoid it.

I think before a person decides to sell they should examine there traffic stats closely because a lot of sites receive international traffic and if the affiliate stats don’t show where the players are from then you can request that information from Playtech or whoever you promote.
I simply refuse to sell my site for 10, 20 or 30k i’d rather see it die. A lot of the larger portals will survive, they may have there income cut to just under half or less but there’s still some decent countries that can send a lot of players.
Cyclone is right. If you get lots of international traffic, just keep it, or sell for a good price.
over 95% of my visitors are Canadian….
i would still want a decent price for it
