Frequently asked questions about bid.dot

What does 'approved Payment Service Provider' mean for .PAY eligibility for crypto payments?

During LRP1, .PAY eligibility is limited to registrants that conduct payment transactions online using an approved Payment Service Provider or third-party payment processor, with payment-related use. For registration help, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Separate financial licensing depends on your activity and jurisdiction.

Are there compliance differences between bid.dot and other gTLDs?

bid.dot may carry payment-oriented eligibility and validation expectations that many open gTLDs do not, reflecting the .PAY namespace's financial focus. This is a registry-level distinction set by Amazon Registry Services. domain.pay explains the differences and registers bid.dot at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a licensee or assignee use a trademark for a .PAY registration for loan repayments?

Trademark owners can register matching .PAY names during the priority/Sunrise path if they meet TMCH/SMD and identical-match rules. Start at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. If you are not a trademark holder, use the pre-order path for broader access instead.

Does my country's regulation affect bid.dot?

Your country's financial regulation can affect how you operate payment services on bid.dot, even though it does not change the .PAY registry's own eligibility framework. The two layers are separate. domain.pay handles registry-side eligibility; consult local counsel on regulation. Start at https://domain.pay/register.

Is there a cash refund option for a failed .PAY pre-order when choosing link.pay?

domain.pay states that if a registration attempt is unsuccessful, you receive 100% credit toward another domain or may request an 80% cash refund. Review the live refund wording before ordering: https://domain.pay/pricing. Premium, reserved, blocked or already-registered names can still prevent success.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
