Hello Bitcoiners,

Please, vote on these premium domain names poll. Which one will you choose for a prospective gambling startup and why? Kindly explain your choice and share your opinion about the rest.

I have posted this on different threads but got some conflicting results. So I decided to settle this once and for all. The poll will run indefinitely and will assist prospective gambling owners to make their domain choices. We will be removing some names as they are taken and be adding some.

You're also free to ask any questions about these domain names, I'll be willing to explain anything you don't understand. Thanks for your votes and your opinions.

To own any of these Domain Names, contact me at admin(@)iConvo.com.

You are not getting it rightt. At least, you need to have clear understanding of what domain name is, before commenting in a matter like this. Every startup founder who knows their trade will surely disagree with you.

Now, let me make it clear for you. Stake.com is a first class premium domain name, and responsible for at least 50% of the platform's success. Trustdice.win is a junk domain name, and any success they are having could have easily been doubled or tripled with .com domain.

You got it right. Customers need domain names they can easily identify with. And no better name that customers can easily identify with than a premium .com domain name. 90% of startups who are using .io also have plans to upgrade to .com later.

Any marketing strategy that does not include Premium .com domain name is highly flawed.

Let's take for example the Windice you're promoting. I am seeing Windice on your avatar but it's not clickable. If I want to check it out now, what extention do you think I am going to add? That explains why businesses are upgrading to .com

Owning a .COM domain lends credibility to your brand

The Internet has embraced over a thousand alternative domain extensions by now, but many people still aren’t familiar with the new ones. Of course, this is in some ways due to such a disproportional amount of the big business being done online through a select few top level .com domain name.

When you see .COM next to somebody’s brand, it relays a sense of credibility. Till tomorrow, the stigma remains: “.com is more legitimate, and others are the cheaper knockoffs.”

How can you contradict yourself so quickly?

Well, domain name has a lot, I mean a whole lot to do with the success of your gambling site. Good domain name on .com extension guarantees you have a solid brand equity to build on. Bad domain names or domains on any other extensions outside .com will keep you running from pillar to post.

Please STOP right there! You simply don't know what you are talking about 

You just gave a perfect example to support my arguments, that any extension outside .com is a waste of time and resources. Blockchain.info has been operating on this extension for years but soon realized they were missing out on a greater opportunity. Now, they have acquired Blockchain.com and quickly switched to it. Case closed!

No one is comparing any platform's business model, we are only talking about domain names and how it is impacting businesses.

You are getting my point. Everything else on your casino can be changed. You can change the type of games, the script you are using, the designs of your casino platform, and almost everything else. But once you pick a bad domain name, you are likely gonna stick with it forever. That's why you need to be smart about your choices. It's not a decision you should take lightly, going for cheap domain names because you want to save dollars may end up costing you a lot more in your business.

Well, the names I'm selling are open for reasonable offers. There's no specific price tags on most of them. Just make your offers (reasonable offers, not low ball) and we take it from there. I accept cash, equity, or both. Payment plan is also acceptable.

It's obvious you guys aren't reading my replies or you are reading but not getting the context of my argument. A bad domain extension will hamper your progress. It doesn't matter if it's memorable or short. When I say "bad domain extension" I mean extension that is not .com. You can argue that till tomorrow, it doesn't change the facts, and I have given enough examples to illustrate the points.

They are missing a lot, and they know it. Remember they are one of the major sponsors of Watford FC. This means their name will be on display on the stadium and on TV. Millions of people seeing Sportsbet.io on TV will either type Sportsbet.com or Sportsbetio.com and if they search it on Google, Sportsbet.io is nowhere near number one. At least not in my own search.

PrimeDice.com is also a premium domain name and also on .com. You see, those guys have been getting their domain names right, right from the beginning, it's not a matter of having made it big and is now upgrading. They have been right with their domain names - be it PrimeDice.com or Stake.com. They don't mess with .whatever.

You may disagree but statistics also disagrees with you. Again, how can you talk about the importance of marketing and still play down on the importance of quality domain name? Are you aware that 70% of people who clicks on your signature adverts never signup straightaway? Some of them memorized the domain name to come back later and signup. This is where quality, memorable, .com domain name plays a key role in your marketing. If you mess it up, you will be losing out of returning customers.

Even Sportsbet.io knows quite well they are missing out greatly from the lack of .com version of their name. They are simply stuck with the bone in their throat. They are doing quite well, no doubt about that. But not nearly as well as they'd have been doing with the .com. I wish Stunna could come here and explain to you guys how acquiring Stake.com domain name helped improved their marketing efforts, and skyrocket the platform.

Bet365 is among the early pioneers of online betting. So they leveraged their early starter status to make up for the less than average domain name. Still, don't forget they are using .com. Imagine what life would have been with them if they are using anything less than .com?

Domain name is not the only thing that will make your online casino a success but certainly on top of the list. It is your brand, the connector between your business and the customers. It can be liken to your office building, your business address and location. You need to make the first impression with it. Bad locations kills businesses!

Saying that "the domain name is not a fundamental factor in the success of gambling" is the same thing as saying that the engine is not a fundamental factor for an efficient airplane. It doesn't matter how extensive the body is, use the wrong engine and the plane will crash. 60% of your marketing efforts will go wasted if you do not have the right domain name with dotcom extension! That's a pure fact.

Take Wolf.bet for example, 50% of it's returning visitors are going to type Wolfbet.com on their browser. And once the site failed to load, they may be inclined to move elsewhere, concluding that Wolf.bet is either unresponsive or have gone out of business.


This statement is a clear example of penny wise pounds foolish. People who makes this mistake ends up wasting tones of crazy money in marketing, trying to catch up with what they would have gained easily with quality premium .com domain.  

Of all the casino sites advertising on this forum, only few has great domain names. These 1% few are the smartest of casinos on this forum and they are certainly the biggest and most profitable. This is because the ingredient of success in Gambling business is in the quality of the domain name you choose.

A domain name builds your brand. If your domain name matches your company name, it reinforces your brand, making it easier for customers to remember and return. It will also be easier to win business via word of mouth because customers will remember your name and pass it along to friends.

Make no mistake about it, the internet is a .com world. If your domain name is anything outside .com, you are simply wasting your valuable marketing resources. It is not by chance that some of the biggest and most successful Gambling sites in the world, and on this forum, are on .com domain names. Anything outside .com is a pure waste of time and resources.

Ask Edward Craven, Stunna, and their co-founders how much they acquired Stake.com domain name. I'd be surprised if they spent anything less than a million USD on the name. You think they are stupid? Certainly not. On the contrary, they are among the smartest investors who understands what it takes to succeed in this crowded ecosystem.  

Till this day, Sportsbet.io still loose significant amount of traffic to their .com counterpart, and would have been far bigger than what they are today if they had acquired the Sportsbet.com.

Casinos with great category specific domain names such as FortuneJack.com will always control the largest market share. The rest who operates on junk names are either wasting their times or losing out from great market opportunities.

You don't settle for a domain name because you like it. Settle for a domain name that your potential customers could easily identify with. And there is no better domain extension than .com, not even close, as you can see from the chart below.






When considering domain name values there are many factors to consider. Domain names that are short, category defining, and meaningful are the most valuable. Even if your domain is meaningful but lack the .com extension, it is still as bad as meaningless domains. Make out a budget to acquire a premium domain name because your best marketing material for your gambling business is your domain name. That's what your potential customers would have to remember and deal with, most of the times. So, choose wisely!


I can also help you choose a quality domain name for your gaming business. Don't make the mistakes others made. Make sure you settle for the best domain name that will give you the win and save you thousands in advertising dollars.
