.bet is a new gTLD delegated in ICANN's New gTLD Program. Afilias manages the TLD and is its Registry. The proposed application succeeded and was delegated to the Root Zone on 24 July, 2015.[1][2] Afilias' application states that the registry seeks to strengthen consumer trust when encountering betting sites. The application justifies this need by highlighting the subgenres of speculation and betting, namely "decision science", "forecastiing", presidental/political polling and more. [3]
