'''.bet''' is a new generic top level domain name proposal in [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]].<ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results/strings-1200utc-13jun12-en Reveal Day 13 June 2012 – New gTLD Applied-For Strings]</ref>

'''.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.<ref name="delegation">[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings Delegated String, ICANN.org] Retrieved 27 Jul 2015</ref><ref>[http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/application-results/strings-1200utc-13jun12-en Reveal Day 13 June 2012 – New gTLD Applied-For Strings]</ref> Afilias' application states that the registry seeks to strengthen consumer trust when encountering betting sites. Their application justifies this need by highlighting the subgenres of speculation and betting, namely "decision science", "forecastiing", presidental/political polling and more. This new blend of betting subgenres, increases complexity and may cause dilution of the betting concept, thus the registry believes its stewardship of the TLD will make for a stronger string.  <ref>file:///Users/jmariet1/Downloads/1-868-21199_BET.html</ref>
