Poker: Master of the European domain
Today marked the launch of the new Internet domain, .eu. The European Union appointed a committee called EURid to be in charge of domain name registration. Not surprisingly, one of the most popular requests for domain name ownership was poker.eu. The worldwide poker euphoria has not passed over Europe by any means. Poker.eu’s placing as the seventh most requested domain name attributes to the game’s extreme popularity on the continent.
