.casino is a new generic top level domain name delegated in ICANN's New gTLD Program. On 4th December 2014 it was announced that Donuts had won .casino after withdrawals from Famous Four Media, Afilias and dotBeauty LLC[1] The TLD will enter an EAP period starting May 27, 2015.

- Famous Four Media (dot Casino Limited), the contact person is Geir Rasmussen; the company is based in Gibraltar and applied for 61 new gTLDs. [2] This applicant submitted a Public Interest Commitment, which can be downloaded here.

Objection
Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD.[4] The country is not part of the GAC and therefore cannot issue a GAC Early Warning.
All of the applications for .casino were issued a GAC Early Warning from the representative of Australia and GAC Chair, Heather Dryden. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[5] One such warning, for Donuts' application, notes that the string is associated with a regulated market sector and that there are not currently sufficient protection mechanisms in place to prevent consumer harm.[6]
