.Bet

[Neocotez]

Hi,
Please whats your view about the yet to be released gTLD .bet, I am planing to invest on it.
Idea?

For gambling 'bet' is just about the best string one could use for a new gTLD, gambling related domains have good historical sales.

Premiums are around $3,750 reg and renewal - non-premium around $15 reg and renewal.

I checked random popular betting terms and I found most are premium. You can find some which are not on the top shelf but have aftermarket potential.

No surprise to see some like alpha.bet and free.bet not available for registration.

It's likely to be favored by Chinese investors as they have insatiable appetite for gambling.

Agree with that, but CN government strongly goes against all kinds of gambling activities and doesn't mind destroying huge corporations. Stocks are down since months.

Furthermore to open a "bet" page for CN market might be too obvious. Like saying "check out my new illegal .bet page".
Plus all the mentioned premiums.

Too niche IMO. If any, I would target western end-users.

You can get premiums right now including LL. I recently registered 239.bet which is a NNN premium.

CASHPOINT.BET last sold for $3,991 on 2016-06-09 at Sedo

Not bad. (considering that I sell about 20-30 .bets myself)

This is a TM I think. Does not tell us anything about the potential of .bet generics.
