The Sunrise and Pre-Registration periods for the .GAMES domain name starts as of today, with its release to General Availability just a couple months away. This domain is a great option for gamers, athletes, and board game lovers who want to create a URL dedicated to games of all kinds.
How to buy a .GAMES domain
During Sunrise period, only verified trademark owners who are validated by the Trademark Clearinghouse can register a domain name that matches their trademark. So if you have a trademarked company, game, console, or something else related to the sports or gaming industry, you can register a .GAMES domain for it before anyone else.
If you do not have a trademark for the domain you want to register, you’ll have to be patient for a little while longer. Early Access for .GAMES (where you can pay a premium to register a domain before everyone else does) begins on Sept. 14 and General Availability starts on Sept. 21.
