.craps
Is .craps a real TLD? Who’s applying to run it?
Nobody has applied for .craps in its own right, as of 7 October 2026. Identity Digital named .craps as the backup string of its .url application.
A single-casino-game name: fun for gambling affiliate and strategy sites, but too narrow to be a brand most businesses would build on.
online gambling affiliates, casino-game strategy and tutorial publishers, and casino operators wanting a game-specific landing address
Nobody has applied for .craps in its own right.
The 2012 applications making the most similar bet. Chosen by AI from every string in that round, without being told what happened to any of them.
Same bet exactly: the plain name of one casino game, owned by nobody, sold to the operators, affiliates and strategy sites in that single vertical who want the game's own word as their identity.
Also a single named game of chance used as a generic namespace, betting that the players and operators of that one game form a registrant base large enough to carry a TLD on its own.
Same shape — one gambling game's common noun as an open namespace — but its primary identity-holders are licensed, often state-sanctioned monopolies rather than the open field of operators and affiliates a table-game string would sell to.
What a .craps domain is
.craps is not a TLD yet. It is a string on our record of the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round, in our Commerce category. Nobody has applied for .craps in its own right. It is named on ICANN’s list as part of an application for another string.
Is the .craps domain extension real yet?
.craps is not yet a domain extension you can register: nothing resolves under it, and no registrar sells names in it. Nobody has applied for it on the public record; the ICANN 2026 new gTLD round is the process that would decide whether it becomes one.
When can you buy a .craps domain?
You can’t yet. A .craps name can only be registered once the string is delegated (added to the DNS root) and its registry opens. Last round's closest parallel to .craps was .poker, delegated on 15 October 2014.
Is .craps a real TLD?
Not yet. .craps is not in the DNS root, so nothing resolves under it. It’s here because ICANN’s list names .craps as part of an application for another string. Every entry on this page links to its source.

- Band chosen: 10-29 (vanity/narrow). Craps is one table game, so the addressable buyer pool is the sliver of the online-gambling market that publishes craps-specific content or runs craps affiliate funnels; most gambling operators brand around the house or the broader category, not one game. By analogy (flagged as analogy), the 2012-round gambling strings such as .poker, .casino, .bet and .bingo found real but modest uptake even though poker and casino are far larger online categories than craps, and game-specific strings like .bingo remained small; a .craps address would plausibly sit below those. It is not in the 30-49 band because there is no volume or price driver visible: gambling domains face regulatory and advertising restrictions in many jurisdictions, and the string's utility is mostly as a keyword lander rather than a primary identity. It is not in the 1-9 band because a genuine, if small, market exists for craps strategy sites, affiliate pages and casino sub-brands, and the word is a clean, memorable English dictionary term. The record shows one application by Toddler Logic, LLC, recorded with status 'replacement' and a primary application string of .url; the category tag is 'none recorded' and the contention count on the record is 0. Whether the operator intends a gambling-vertical go-to-market is unknown, which affects adoption likelihood only. Main market uncertainty: whether online gambling affiliates and operators will adopt game-specific TLDs as primary identities at all over the next five years, or keep treating them as throwaway redirect keywords, given how the broader 2012-round gambling strings performed.
