## What does the public WHOIS/RDAP record of a .bet domain show?

Our privacy service contact instead of yours: your name, address, phone and email are not published. Since 28 January 2025, RDAP has replaced the old WHOIS service for generic extensions, and anyone can look up a domain on [lookup.icann.org](https://lookup.icann.org/en). The registrar fields (Sealname's operator), the creation and expiry dates, the nameservers and the status codes stay public for every domain: that is normal and reveals nothing about you.

Sealname's privacy service is **included free** on .bet. In the public record, the registrant fields show our privacy contact instead of your details. Messages sent to that contact are forwarded to your verified email; we never forward spam or bulk mail. Sealname still holds your verified email, as ICANN rules require, and discloses it only in the cases of our [disclosure policy](https://sealname.com/disclosure-policy/).

## Who can register a .bet domain?

Anyone, from any country. Sealname checks the registry rule before every order and tells you in the cart when an extension has a condition.

## What does Sealname ask for to register a .bet domain?

One email address, which we verify: ICANN requires registrars to confirm the registrant's email within 15 days of a registration, a transfer or a change, or to suspend the domain. That email is never published. Your account is a random 16-digit number, created when you check out.

- **Never asked**: ID document, selfie, ID or passport number, date of birth, phone number, postal address, card or bank details, wallet address, TXID. We keep no connection logs.
- **Payment**: crypto only (Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC)), from a balance you top up once (minimum $25). Unused balance stays on your account and never expires, and it pays for new domains, renewals and transfers, but it is not refundable.
- **Ownership**: the domain is registered in your name by default, or in ours with the paid [Registered in our name](https://sealname.com/registered-in-our-name/) option. The transfer code is free, from your account, at any time.

## How much does a .bet domain cost per year?

A .bet domain costs **$22.99/year** the first year and **$22.99/year** for every renewal: Sealname uses one price per extension, so there is no low first-year price that jumps in year two. A transfer from another registrar costs $22.99. WHOIS privacy: Free. Prices are in US dollars and paid from your crypto balance; compare every extension on the [price list](https://sealname.com/pricing/) or in [pricing.json](https://sealname.com/pricing.json).

## What is a .bet domain used for?

Betting and prediction markets. A private registration suits a personal site, a project that is not public yet, a newsletter or a small business run from home: your name and address stay out of the public record, while visitors, email and certificates work as with any other domain. See how [journalists and activists](https://sealname.com/use-cases/journalists-and-activists/), [crypto projects](https://sealname.com/use-cases/crypto-projects/) and [small businesses](https://sealname.com/use-cases/small-business/) use private domains.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is WHOIS privacy free for .bet at Sealname?

WHOIS privacy for .bet: Free. Sealname never sells privacy as an add-on: our privacy service is included in the $22.99 yearly price, and one email is all the registry needs. The [privacy index](https://sealname.com/tld-rules/) shows the rule of every extension.

### Do I need to show ID to register a .bet domain?

No. Sealname asks for no ID document, no selfie and no ID number: one email address that you verify is enough, as ICANN rules require. Registry rule for .bet: Anyone, from any country.

### Can I pay for a .bet domain with Bitcoin or USDT?

Yes. Top up your balance with BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC (minimum $25), then register the .bet domain from it. USDT is accepted on Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20). The domain is registered as soon as the payment is credited after the network confirmations. See [how to pay](https://sealname.com/buy-domain-with-crypto/).

### Who owns a .bet domain registered with Sealname?

You do. By default Sealname uses a privacy service, not a proxy: you are the registrant of record, and only the public view of your contact details is replaced. You can ask for the transfer code at any time, free, and move the domain to another registrar. Details: [who owns my domain](https://sealname.com/who-owns-my-domain/).

### Can I transfer my .bet domain to Sealname?

Yes. Unlock the domain at your current registrar, ask it for the transfer code (auth or EPP code), then start the transfer from your Sealname account and pay $22.99 from your balance. Registries and ICANN's Transfer Policy block a transfer for a short period after a new registration or a previous transfer.

### Can Sealname reveal who owns my .bet domain?

Only on a Panamanian court order, or under ICANN duties of every registrar: urgent requests under ICANN rules (an imminent threat to life, serious bodily injury, critical infrastructure, or child exploitation), the UDRP for trademark disputes, data escrow and compliance checks. A foreign lawyer, a private company or a foreign government gets nothing without Panamanian legal process. You are told before any disclosure, unless the Panamanian court order forbids it. Every request is counted in our quarterly [transparency report](https://sealname.com/transparency/).

### Can a complaint get my .bet domain suspended?

Not on its own: no takedown on complaint alone. A complaint about copyright, defamation, politics or from a competitor needs a decision from a Panamanian court. The strict exceptions are written openly: phishing, malware, botnets, child sexual abuse material and fraud that takes money from victims lead to suspension. Trademark disputes follow the UDRP, as ICANN requires of every registrar. See the [abuse policy](https://sealname.com/abuse/).
