The fact that the domain has a decent DA and PA with no outbound links and 0% spam is definitely a good start.
But, the fact that it's currently pointing to illegal gambling content is a red flag.
Even though the domain itself might seem clean, its association with shady or illegal activities could cause problems later, search engines or hosting services might flag it, or worse, it could affect your rankings or reputation down the line.
It could still work if the gambling association can be removed or cleaned up, but I’d approach cautiously. Better safe than sorry!
What’s your plan for the domain if you do decide to go for it?
+When buying an expired domain, what are the first things to check and what do you look for?
Fastcheck:
Look into what it was used for.
Tools like Wayback Machine can show you past content.
If it was tied to anything shady, like illegal stuff, it's a no-go.
Focus on quality, not just the DA/PA.
Avoid spammy or irrelevant backlinks.
Make sure the backlink anchors aren't full of spammy or irrelevant keywords.
Check if the domain’s been penalized.
Think about how the domain name or history aligns with your project.
Even great metrics don’t matter if it doesn’t fit your brand.
