Frequently asked questions about rako.dot

Is a payment gateway business eligible for .PAY in the LRP for payroll disbursements?

An ecommerce or gateway business using a payment processor may be closer to the LRP1 eligibility concept, but the registry rules still control. Start at domain.pay to choose the correct path and verify current requirements: https://domain.pay/register. Separate licensing issues remain legal questions.

What happens to my rako.dot pre-order if a trademark holder claims it?

If a validated TMCH holder claims rako.dot during the priority phase with a valid SMD, their claim takes precedence and your standard pre-order cannot be fulfilled. In that case your pre-order charge for rako.dot is refundable per the published policy. You are not charged for a name you cannot receive. Read the policy at https://domain.pay/pricing.

What are the current .PAY launch dates in 2026 and 2027 for digital wallets?

Current ICANN dates: .PAY Sunrise is April 13–July 20, 2026; LRP1 is July 20, 2026–February 1, 2027; Trademark Claims is February 1–May 2, 2027. For registration or pre-order action, use domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.

Does NicNames accept SMD files from any TMCH-accredited provider for rako.dot?

NicNames accepts the standard SMD file issued through the Trademark Clearinghouse, regardless of which accredited agent helped you record the mark, for claiming rako.dot. What matters is a valid, matching SMD for the rako.dot string. The issuing path does not change acceptance for rako.dot. Upload yours at https://domain.pay/register.

Can a company that only plans future payments register .PAY during LRP1 for fraud prevention?

A business that only plans future payments should be careful: LRP1 is written around registrants that conduct online payment transactions using approved processing channels. If you cannot qualify, use domain.pay to pre-order for broader availability: 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.
