There are four applicants for the string:[1]
- 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]
- Donuts (Binky Sky, LLC), a start-up registry company backed by large investors which applied for 307 new gTLDs. [3]

Objection
Saudi Arabia's Communications and Information Technology Commission (CITC) filed an objection against the TLD.[5] 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.[6] 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.[7]
