Frequently asked questions about deception.dot
Should I defensively register my brand in .PAY for in-app purchases?
If your brand accepts payments, registering the exact .PAY label can be a practical defensive step. Use domain.pay to check and start the priority or pre-order path: https://domain.pay/register. Also keep trademark monitoring and security controls in place.
When should trademark holders submit deception.dot?
Trademark holders should submit deception.dot during the sunrise phase, within the registry's published window, to claim it before general availability opens. domain.pay handles the deception.dot submission so you do not miss it. Prepare at https://domain.pay/register.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing link.pay?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
How does owning deception.dot protect first-time customers most?
First-time customers have no prior reference for the real deception.dot address, so they are especially vulnerable to a convincing fake. When NicNames owns deception.dot and promotes it as official, newcomers are guided to the genuine payment page. https://domain.pay/register
What happens if another trademark holder already registered my .PAY idea when choosing cloud.pay?
Use domain.pay to search the live label and review already-registered .PAY examples: https://domain.pay/domains. If your first choice is already registered or not available, domain.pay can help you browse alternatives or pre-order a different name.
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.
