Gamail.com is a common misspelling of Gmail.com. If you type Gamail.com into the navigation bar of a web browser, you will be redirected to retailer Amazon.com. This suggests that Amazon might own the domain name Gamail.com.

People often buy a domain name like Gamail.com that represents a misspelling or typing mistake of a popular website's domain name. There are several things people do with domain names like Gamail.com. One popular money-making tactic is to put lots of advertising on the page for a domain name like Gamail.com, in the hopes that people trying to reach a popular site like Gmail.com will instead land at Gamail.com and then click on an ad to leave the page. That ad click gives the owner of Gamail.com some income. If enough people mistype Gmail.com as Gamail.com, arrive at Gamail.com and then click an ad, the owner of Gamail.com can make quite a bit of money.

Another reason to own Gamail.com (or a similar misstype or misspelling of a popular domain name) is to redirect traffic from that web address to one's own website. Because Gamail.com redirects to Amazon.com, it's not unreasonable to surmise the retailer Amazon owns the name Gamail.com.
