Logan Flatt posted on X that he sold Lonestar.bet for $80,000 at Afternic. Registered just 18 months ago. Now Texas has some of the strictest laws when it comes to gambling. It’s funny because growing up I always thought Texas had a lot of gamblers. I mean it’s Texas Hold’Em.
TexasScorecard.com laid it all out earlier this year.
Texas Culture
Opposition to gambling has long been ingrained in the Lone Star State’s culture.
Included by the drafters of the Texas State Constitution, which was ratified in 1876, Tex. Const. art III §47 calls for Congress to pass legislation outlawing gambling.
Attempts have been made by state lawmakers to legalize gambling, but they’ve come up short. In 2023, State Rep. Jeff Leach (R–Allen) authored a proposed constitutional amendment, House Bill 1942, which aimed to legalize sports wagering in Texas.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick expressed opposition to the bill in an X post, citing “little to no support” from Senate Republicans.
It passed in the House, but then died in the Senate, and no attempt to legalize sports betting was made in 2025.
Lonestar.bet will be the fourth highest reported .bet sale of all time. Logan already had fourth place with MMA.bet which he sold for $48,000 in 2022.
