Frequently asked questions about videogame.dot
For point-of-sale payments, when is the .PAY Sunrise period?
ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.
Should I record my brand in the TMCH before pre-ordering videogame.dot?
If you own the trademark for the videogame.dot string, recording it in the TMCH first is the safest path, because the resulting SMD gives your claim on videogame.dot priority over standard pre-orders. A pre-order alone does not establish trademark rights. Lock in priority before placing a pre-order at https://domain.pay/register.
How can a brand reduce confusion around payment pages for donation payments?
.PAY is sensitive because it signals money movement, so lookalike domains can confuse customers. Check your exact brand and obvious variants at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register. Registration is one brand-protection layer, not a full anti-phishing program.
Should I secure videogame.dot in addition to my main website domain?
Yes. Your main site protects your general brand, but videogame.dot specifically protects the payment-trust layer that .PAY implies for NicNames. Holding both ensures the videogame.dot name cannot be impersonated where money changes hands. https://domain.pay/register
Can I use .PAY for redirects to my existing checkout for a regional bank?
Yes, you can use a .PAY domain as a clean branded entry point or redirect to an existing checkout, but implement redirects, SSL and tracking carefully. First secure or pre-order the label through 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.
