Frequently asked questions about otters.dot
What if my trademark has spaces or special characters and I want .PAY for mobile money?
.PAY Sunrise follows identical-match rules for the trademark text, including how spaces and some special characters are handled. Do not guess the label; check it through domain.pay and use the trademark path if eligible: https://domain.pay/register. A valid TMCH/SMD record may be required.
Where do I go to register otters.dot once it's available?
As soon as otters.dot is open, you complete registration at https://domain.pay/register, where the flow adapts to whether otters.dot is standard or premium. The registry price, if premium, shows before you confirm. Start with otters.dot there once it's available.
For crypto payments, 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.
Who is best positioned to claim otters.dot during launch?
Verified holders of the otters.dot trademark, using TMCH-issued SMD files in priority phases, are best positioned to claim otters.dot at launch. If you do not hold a recorded mark, a $100 refundable pre-order is the next-best path for NicNames. https://domain.pay/register
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments when choosing bank.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.
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.
