Choice of domain

[chaumi]

I suspect it might be fair to say that some of the newer TLDs might need to prove their authority/trust (either age or links or other 'signals'...or all three, quite likely). So, they're not downvoted as such but need to work harder to 'prove' themselves. That might (at least partially) explain your experience, Tufty.

The only direct experience I personally can offer is .games, where (given how little I've really done with it) it has some OK rankings. But there is a strong possibility that domain/site age is contributing to that, although difficult to be certain.

Oh, I forgot, I did get a 5 page .poker ranking on page 1 fairly quickly for its keyword term. But probably that was just because I got in early on that term and didn't have serious competition.

Rather try find a .com if you can. But of those I'm a fan of bitbookie.co or sportbookie.io.

Better come up with something else or you may regret it in the future once you start growing.
If you need paid help with this - let me know and I will see what I can do.

Find the specific type of betting you are promoting and then go with that for the domain name
