According to a tweet this morning from Sedo broker Dave Evanson, Casinos.org was sold for $400,000. I think it is safe to assume the deal was brokered by Dave:

At the end of May, I noticed that the Voice.com domain name had transferred to GoDaddy under privacy proxy. I wondered if MicroStrategy had sold the domain name, and it was later learned that it had been acquired by a startup called Block.One. The company announced that Voice would become “a blockchain-based social media application.” Voice.com is clearly a valuable domain name, and today we learned just how much it cost to acquire it.
Last week, I noticed that the Velo.com domain name had been acquired via Marksmen, a brand protection company that offers domain name acquisition services:
Looks like @MarksmenTweets acquired https://t.co/9HtN6caHNw on behalf of a client. Great cycling domain name.

I noticed that my email service (via Gmail) has been running slower than usual this afternoon. I was expecting to receive a couple of important emails, and both seemed to have been delayed. I visited Google’s G Suite Status Dashboard, and it indicates there is currently a Service Disruption impacting Gmail service, although none of Google’s other services indicate a service disruption or service outage at this time:
Late last week, Peter Askew announced that he was readying the beta version of BirthdayParties.com, a business that aims to help parents find a venue for their children’s birthday parties.

Namecheap sent out a press release this morning introducing a new bulk domain name search tool that the company says could help domain investors. The tool is called “Beast Mode,” and it is bill as “one of the fastest and most comprehensive bulk-search tools on the market.” Users can search up to 5,000 keywords at a time in multiple extensions. By comparison, GoDaddy’s bulk search tool (which I use occasionally) allows 500 domain names per search.
In addition to the press release I shared below, Namecheap also posted a video to show how visitors can use the bulk search tool to find domain names:
