Cambridge, MA-based Sedo, which provides an online marketplace for Web domain names, said today that it brokered UK-based Media Corp.’s sale of the “gambling.com” domain for $2.5 million to an unnamed British firm. It’s the largest sum paid for a domain this year, according to the broker. Sedo (which Xconomy’s Wade Roush profiled back in November 2007) said that this deal is the third-largest that it has brokered after the $13 million and $3 million sales of “sex.com” and “vodka.com,” respectively.
