Dear Mr. Owings:
     The purpose of this letter is to provide the Company’s responses to the January 29, 2010 Comment Letter (the “Comment Letter”) to Mr. John Salerno, Chief Executive Officer of iGambit, Inc. (the “Company”). This letter indicates how the Company proposes to respond to your comments and provide certain information requested by you in the Comment Letter. For your convenience, we have restated the comments from the Comment Letter below followed by the Company’s responses.
General
     
COMMENT 1.
  Please be advised that your registration statement will automatically become effective sixty days after your filing date of December 31, 2009.

If you do not wish to incur those obligations until all of the following issues are resolved, you may wish to consider withdrawing your registration statement and resubmitting a new registration statement when you have revised your document.
 
   
Response:
  The Company has elected not to withdraw the registration statement. The Company appreciates the obligations resulting from the registration statement going effective.

COMMENT 2.
  Section (a)(2) of Rule 419 defines a blank check company as a company that is issuing penny stock that is “a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity.” In discussing this definition in the adopting release, the Commission stated that it would “scrutinize . . . offerings for attempts to create the appearance that the registrant . . . has a specific business plan, in an effort to avoid the application of Rule 419.” See Security Act Release No- 33-6932 (April 28, 1992).
 
   
 
  It appears that your business may be commensurate in scope with the uncertainty ordinarily associated with a blank check company. Accordingly, please revise your disclosure throughout your registration statement to comply with Rule 419 of Regulation C or provide a detailed explanation as to why Rule 419 does not apply to you and this offering.
 
   
Response:
  The Company was incorporated in October 1996 and actively engaged in business from inception. In February 2006 the Company sold its online business. Since the closing of that transaction, and as a result thereof, the Company has continually received significant revenue share payments which will continue through February 2011. Since the sale management has worked to increase said revenue share payments and has actively sought to leverage its business experience and knowledge through other opportunities in the technology market. The Company presently has one operating subsidiary. Management is working to expand the operations of that subsidiary and is seeking other synergistic opportunities.
 
   
 
  Based upon the foregoing, the Company believes that it does have a specific business plan and unlike a blank check company it is not merely attempting to engage in a merger acquisition with one entity to avoid the application of Rule 419. Rule 419 of the Securities Act of 1933 should not apply to registrations on Form 10.

Item 6. Compensation, page 14
     
COMMENT 18.
  According to the Summary Compensation Table, Mr. Salerno and Ms. Luqman did not receive any compensation from the company during 2008,
 
  2007 and 2006. However, you also state that Mr. Salerno and Ms. Luqman exercised options to acquire shares of common stock of the company during that time, and that the company was indebted to them for deferred compensation during that time. Please revise to clarify.
     
Response:
  We have updated the Summary Compensation Table to include information with respect to the years 2009 and 2008 only. Please see our response to Comment #29 with respect to the exercise of options by the named executives (which occurred in 2007) and the de minimis nature of services provided during 2008.
Item 7. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence, page 15
     
COMMENT 19.
  We note that you were indebted to former officers for unpaid compensation during your last three completed fiscal years. Please disclose this indebtedness as related party transactions, or tell us why such disclosure is not required. Refer to Item 404(d) and Instruction 1 to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
     
Response:
  We have revised the “Certain Relationships and Related Transaction, and Director Independence” section to disclose our indebtedness to certain officers as a related party transaction.
Item 9. Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters, page 17

COMMENT 20.
  Please update the information contained in the table on page 18 as of the end of your most recently completed fiscal year. Refer to Item 201(d) of Regulation S-K.
     
Response:
  We have updated the information contained in the table in the “Equity Compensation Plan Information” section to include information as of the end of our most recently completed fiscal year.
     
COMMENT 21.
  You state that your 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan is your only equity compensation plan and that it was approved by your shareholders. However, the table on page 18 indicates that you have issued options, warrants and/or rights under at least one equity compensation plan that was not approved by your shareholders, which suggests that the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan is not your only equity compensation plan. Please revise your disclosure to clarify.

Response:
  Our 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan is our only equity compensation plan that was approved by our shareholders. We have issued warrants to two consultants, but those warrants were not submitted to our shareholders for their approval. We have updated the disclosure in the “Equity Compensation Plan Information” section to disclose the foregoing and to provide a description of the warrants.
Item 10. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities, page 18
     
COMMENT 22.
  In Note 5 of your financial statements, you state that you issued 60,000 warrants to a consultant during 2008. Please disclose this issuance in Item 10 of your filing, or tell us why such disclosure is not required.
     
Response:
  We have revised the “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities” section to disclose the issuance of the 60,000 warrants in June 2006.
Item 15. Financial Statements and Exhibits, page 20
     
COMMENT 23.
  Please explain why financial statements of Jekyll Island Ventures, Inc. and pro forma financial information showing the effects of the acquisition are not included in this filing. In doing so, provide us with a summary of the significance tests performed and explain how you valued the common stock and options issued. Refer to Rules 8-04 and 8-05 of Regulation S-X.
     
Response:
  We have not included in this filing financial statements of Jekyll Island Ventures, Inc. and pro forma financial information showing the effects of the acquisition because none of the conditions specified in paragraph (b) of Rule 8-04 of Regulation S-X exceeds 20%. Specifically, with respect to Section 8-04(b)(1), the purchase price paid in the acquisition ($221,000) is less than 20% of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2008 ($1,450,176), and, with respect to Section 8-04(b)(2), the total assets of Jekyll Island Ventures, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 ($80,650) is less than 20% of the Company’s total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2008 ($1,450,176). It is our understanding that the test set forth in Section 8-04(b)(3) is not applicable in the present situation in that neither the Company nor Jekyll Island Venture, Inc. had income from continuing operations before income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles for the year ended December 31, 2008, rather, both entities had a loss during such period.
 
   
 
  The $221,000 value attributed to the securities issued to Jekyll Island Venture, Inc. in the transaction is based on $0.10 per share of common stock issued ($50,000 total), which was the last price at which we sold common stock, and $0.09 per warrant share ($171,000 total), based on a Black-Scholes calculation.

COMMENT 24.
  Please have your auditor revise the second paragraph of the audit report to reflect that the audit was conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and file the revised report in an amendment See SEC Release 34-49707 issued May 14, 2004 and PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 1.
     
Response:
  The Report of Independent Registered Public Accountant with respect to our consolidated balance sheet for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008, and the related statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended (the “Audit Report”), a copy of which has been included in Amendment No. 1 to Form 10, reflects that the audit was conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
     
COMMENT 25.
  The audit report indicates that the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 have been audited, but the opinion paragraph does not include an opinion on these statements. Please have your independent registered public accountant revise his audit report to also opine on the Statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 and file the revised report in an amendment. Refer to Rule 8-02 of Regulation S-X, which requires you to file audited statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for each of the two fiscal years preceding the date of the most recent audited balance sheet.
     
Response:
  The Audit Report contains an opinion of our independent registered public accountant with respect to our statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2009, and 2008.
     
COMMENT 26.
  Please amend your filing to include a manual or printed signature of the auditor’s firm in the audit report. Refer to Rule 2-02(a) of Regulation S-X.
     
Response:
  We have amended our filing to include a manual or printed signature of the auditor’s firm in the audit reports.

COMMENT 27.
  Please tell us when the cash received from Digi-Data Corporation which is placed in an escrow account to hold funds for contingent liabilities is recognized as income from discontinued operations, referencing the authoritative literature that supports the timing of the income recognition.

  Consider adding disclosure of your recognition policy in Note 2 to the financial statements.
 
   
Response:
  The cash received from Digi-Data Corporation which is placed in an escrow account was recognized in 2006 in the gain on sale calculation and as income. We have decided not to add disclosure of our recognition policy in Note 2 to the financial statements.
     
COMMENT 28.
  We note your disclosure in the second paragraph on page 15. Please tell us how your share of the fees paid to Mr. George Dempster is presented in the financial statements. To the extent the fees are included in the income from discontinued operations line item, please tell us why your presentation is appropriate, including your consideration of FASB ASC 205-20-45-4 and 205-20-45-5.
     
Response:
  Our share of the fees paid to Mr. George Dempster are included in the “General and Administrative Expenses” line item of the Consolidated Statements of Income.
     
COMMENT 29.
  We note your disclosure in the fifth paragraph on page 2 and the summary compensation table on page 14 regarding compensation in fiscal 2007 and 2008 to officers and stockholders. Please tell us the fair value of the services provided by your officers and stockholders and the compensation expense recorded during the years and interim periods presented in this filing. Also tell us what consideration you gave to recording the fair value of services provided without pay as a capital contribution. Refer to SAB Topic 5:T.
     
Response:
  During 2007, Mr. Salerno and Ms. Luqman were each granted and immediately exercised options to acquire 1,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company, valued at $.09 per share using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Consulting fees of $135,000 for Mr. Salerno’s services and accounting fees of $135,000 for Ms. Luqman’s services were charged to operations for the year ended December 31, 2007. The financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been revised to present the correct valuation of the options exercised in 2007. During 2007 and 2008, Mr. Salerno and Ms. Luqman were employees of Digi-Data Corp. and devoted de minimis time to the Company, which earned no revenues during such time. Therefore, no consideration was given for services without pay as contributed capital to Mr. Salerno and Ms. Luqman in 2007 and 2008.

COMMENT 30.
  Including potential common shares in the denominator of a diluted per-share computation for continuing operations always will result in an antidilutive per share amount when an entity has a loss from continuing operations. Although including those potential common shares in the discontinued operations and net earning diluted per-share computations may be dilutive to their comparable basic per-share amounts, no potential common shares should be included in the computation of any diluted per-share amount when a loss from continuing operations exists, even if you report net earnings. Refer to FASB ASC 260-10—45-19 and 260-10-45-20. As such, please revise the appropriate line items on the face of this statement and your disclosures in Note 4.
     
Response:
  We have revised the Company’s Statements of Income to omit diluted weighted average shares and equivalent shares outstanding, and, have revised Footnote #4 and the table set forth therein to omit diluted average common shares outstanding and its components.
Statements of Cash Flows, page F-5
     
COMMENT 31.
  Entities that choose not to provide information about major classes of operating cash receipts and payments by the direct method should determine and report the same amount for net cash flow from operating activities indirectly by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities. Refer to FASB ASC 230-10-45-28. Please revise to adjust net income rather than loss from continuing operations.
     
Response:
  The Company’s Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2010, present net income and income from discontinued operations separately as a non-cash adjustment to cash flows from operating activities.
     
COMMENT 32.
  The subtotal net cash used by continuing operating activities reflects a cash inflow from an income tax benefit of $44,065. However, it appears that the tax benefit was non-cash. Please explain why this subtotal should not be adjusted for the non-cash tax benefit.
     
Response:
  The non-cash income tax benefit of $44,065 included in net income is presented in the same manner as net income which includes non-cash income tax expense, presenting net cash flows from operating activities indirectly.
     
COMMENT 33.
  With reference to authoritative literature, please explain why contingent sale price payments received from Digi-Data Corporation are appropriately presented as cash provided by discontinued operating activities rather than as cash provided by discontinued investing activities. In doing so, tell us your consideration of FASB ASC 230-10-45-12(c).

COMMENT 34.
  We note your disclosure of unvested restricted shares. Please tell us the nature of the unvested restricted shares, and add disclosure in the notes to financial statements regarding the restricted shares.
     
Response:
  The Company does not have any unvested restricted shares outstanding. We have revised Note 4 accordingly.
Note 5 — Warrants and Stock Option Plan, page F-9
     
COMMENT 35.
  To the extent not already disclosed, please tell us the significant terms of the 3,000,000 stock options granted in fiscal 2007, the 60,000 warrants granted in fiscal 2008 and the 2,250,000 warrants granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 including the vesting periods. Tell us the fair value of the warrants and options granted, the requisite service periods for each grant, and the Company’s per share fair value used in the Black-Scholes pricing model. Please also explain how the Company’s fair value for use in the Black-Scholes pricing model was determined. In addition, please tell us the measurement dates used for the nonemployee grants, and explain why the measurement dates comply with FASB ASC 505-50-30-11.
 
   
 
  Finally, explain how the share based compensation expenses related to the grants are reflected in the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and nine months ended September 30, 2009 statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows, reconciling the amounts in each statement. Regarding this last request, please consider presenting share based compensation as a separate line item in the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity.
     
Response:
  The 3,000,000 stock options granted on May 1, 2007 were immediately exercisable at a price of $0.01 per share. A cashless exercise resulting in the issuance of 2,940,000 common shares was effectuated on the grant date.

  The fair value of the warrants and options granted is $.09 per share. The per share fair value used in the Black-Scholes pricing model is $.10. Such fair value was determined by using the price per share of the last sale of common stock. The requisite service period for the 3,000,000 stock options granted in fiscal 2007 and the 60,000 warrants granted in fiscal 2008, is fiscal 2006. Such awards were granted to the consultants for their past performance in brokering the deal with Dig-Data. As to the 2,250,000 warrants granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the requisite service period of the 2,000,000 warrants granted to the securities broker firm is May 26, 2009 to May 26, 2012 (4 years), and the 250,000 warrants granted to the securities law firm is June 1, 2009 to June 1, 2012 (4 years).
 
   
 
  The fair value measurement of the options and warrants granted in 2007 and 2008 were measured at the date which the consultants’ performance had been completed, as the stock awards were granted subsequent to completion of services performed. The measurement dates used for the warrants granted to the securities broker firm and the securities law firm are May 26, 2009 and June 1, 2009, respectively. The dates at which a commitment for performance by the counterparties to earn the equity instruments were used as the measurement dates, as their services will extend to the future.
