Frequently asked questions about gamefest.dot

As an event ticketing business, when is broader .PAY public registration expected?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

When can a trademark holder claim gamefest.dot ahead of the general public?

Trademark holders can claim gamefest.dot during the priority phase, which runs before standard availability opens to everyone. You must hold a valid TMCH SMD covering the gamefest.dot string at the time you submit. After the priority phase closes, gamefest.dot moves to first-day pre-order and then general registration. See timing at https://domain.pay/.

Can I use my own SMD file and pay less for a .PAY submission for online checkout?

If you already have a valid TMCH-issued SMD file, domain.pay lists the submission-handling path at $100 plus any applicable premium retail fee. Check the current pricing and requirements here: https://domain.pay/pricing. The SMD must match the requested .PAY label.

Are failed attempts to register gamefest.dot refundable?

Yes. If your attempt to secure gamefest.dot does not succeed, the charge is refundable per the published policy at NicNames. This applies to standard pre-orders that cannot be fulfilled. Trademark-priority claims still require a valid SMD to be considered. Review the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

Can I pre-register a .PAY name without a trademark?

Yes. If you do not have a matching trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day registration attempt for broader availability: https://domain.pay/register. A pre-order is not a guarantee; the name may become unavailable, premium, reserved or blocked before submission.

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.
