History and Background of the .CASINO Domain

The .CASINO domain extension was delegated in the mid-2010s as part of ICANN's new generic top-level domain program. Delegation refers to the point when a domain extension is officially added to the global domain name system and becomes technically active. It was introduced for casino and gaming-related services.

After delegation, the extension typically went through standard launch phases, including a sunrise period (which allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming available to the general public. Today, .CASINO is commonly used for casino brands and gaming platforms.

Why you might not choose .CASINO

While .CASINO is clear, there are a few considerations:
  • Audience expectations: Visitors expect casino-specific content.
  • Brand perception: Not suitable for most general travel brands.
  • Policy considerations: Some platforms have stricter content rules.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than traditional extensions like .COM.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that deliver consistency, affordability, and broad recognition. .CASINO domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
