Mission / Purpose (#18a)
Mission and purpose

There is a proliferation of betting sites across the existing TLD Internet space, creating consumer confusion about the validity or purpose of some sites. What about the future of betting? Beyond betting on sports or games of chance and skills, there is also a growing trend on the Internet where betting, decision science and forecasting are coming together.

Many emerging websites use betting and the “wisdom of crowds” to predict the outcome of life’s most interesting decisions and events. Who will win the next U.S. presidential election? Will private enterprise land a spacecraft on the Moon on or before December 31, 2012? Increasingly, when Internet users want to get an educated guess, they don’t ask the experts or the pundits, they go where people bet their money and reputations.

The purpose of the .BET TLD is to create an easily identifiable Internet namespace where the activities carried on are clearly understood and consumers visiting them would know exactly what they were getting and from whom. This creates value for registrants in that they can assume that visitors have arrived at their websites willingly and in full knowledge, so registrants have the opportunity to increase the professionalism and quality of their offerings, improving the quantity and quality of their marketplace offerings. Additionally, visionary entrepreneurs can work with allied and competitive registrants to create new online applications to create superior value for the consumers who buy a .BET domain name.

The .BET TLD mission is to become the professional badge that .BET registrants (betting industry vendors) and their betting customers can use to learn about responsible betting, play and conduct business.

Although the total number of gambling establishments worldwide approaches 5,000, we anticipate that many of those establishments will buy multiple domains, with both proactive and defensive intentions, and that changing laws and customs will allow for more innovation of offerings in this space.

Moreover, we expect that a fair amount of registrants plan to develop sites that are informative in nature, and not strictly dedicated to delivering new services. Therefore, we anticipate 21,100 domains under management (DUMs) by the end of the third year of operation.

File an objection for applicationBET

eBrand Services has designed a series of defensive approaches to ensure that rightholders can object applications of new gTLD that affect their interests asserting prior rights over certain string or Trademark. Contact us to know more:

Express your interest for a domain name under the extensionBET

An Expression of Interest allows you to submit a non-binding interest in registering the specific domains most relevant to you. By doing so, we can provide you with up-to-date information about launch schedules, pricing, policies, and ensure you avoid missing registration deadlines. Prior to the release of your domain name under a new gTLD, we will let you know and we can assist you in turning your Expression of Interest into a binding registration order, or cancel your Expression of Interest. Whilst we will endeavor to secure your desired domain for you, please note that we cannot guarantee a successful registration. It is important to acknowledge that multiple registration phases will take place. For more information, please refer our FAQ’s. All Expression of Interest’s are free of charge and legally non-binding.

Additionally, let us review your business/situation and supply you with a customized solution fitting your individual needs.
