Dead or Alive 2.0

About 100 domains won't make it to the next edition of my consolidated lists. They're dead, or they give quite a convincing show of being dead.
Most victims fell in the gambling - or better: sportsbetting - category. These people were obviously in it for the money. But didn't make it. A number of others were playing around with other people's brand capital, and obviously got some nasty mail from lawyers. Some others were clearly only playing around a bit, and got tired of it.
If you know of any resurrection of any of these initiatives under other names, please notify me.

Below, I first present them in category clusters, then in alphabetical order.
