Jackpot.io is a premium international online and mobile casino designed to bring the best online and mobile casino games, bonuses, promotions, thrills, and excitement to the Canadian online gambler.
So, why do we have a .io in our URL rather than a .ca, or .uk, or even a .com? It all comes down to our web domain and the hyper competitive online and digital market. Our decision to register Jackpot.io through the .io Top Level Domain gives us a little more prestige - something that is hugely important when you are offering a prestigious online gambling portal for Canadian players.
Domain names are your websites 'address'. Think of it as a street address for your website if your website was a house in the town known as the internet. And just like in a real-life city, your address can say a lot about you - and your status.
Top Level Domains (TLDs) are the mansions on the hills, the cream that rises to the top, the very highest levels of the hierarchy that is the domain name system and they are organised into three main groups: country code top level, generic top level, and infrastructure top level.
These are the two-letter codes that follow every URL that is country based, for example, .ca, .ge, .za, .uk, etc.
These are the more recognised domain names out there: .com, .org, .edu, .info, etc.
This was the first domain name - .arpa - and we're only including for educational and interest purposes. It related to the original World Wide Web and ARPANET.
As you can imagine, competition for the perfect domain name and address is high. More than half of the millions and millions of domain names are .com and it is becoming massively expensive to register a .com (to the tune of millions of dollars).
And thus, the rise of the .io.
.io refers to a specific territory in the ccTLD world - the Indian Ocean territory. But, as with most things digital, it has expanded far beyond mere borders and boundaries to become a favourite for all things tech and tech related. Technology companies, gaming studios, and start-ups are increasingly turning to the .io ccTLD to set themselves apart as innovators and future-focussed leaders. It is the entrepreneur destination of choice, the domain name option that shows both vision and a trailblazer spirit.
Apart from the status that .io brings to the digital savvy, it actually has real benefits.
With a simple two letter domain it's easier to type and remember the address: Jackpot.io is the perfect example.
There is a new and open market that can be accessed for those who want their name to reflect in their URL. Can you imagine how many different iterations of jackpot.com or jackpot.uk or jackpot.ca there are out there? And how expensive it would be to buy and register the domain name? We quite like that Jackpot.io has a certain cachet and an almost lyrical tripping off the tongue that sets us apart.
As mentioned before, the .io is a very sought after and prestigious title in the tech world. It is embraced by the leaders of the digital movement and identifies them as those with their fingers on the pulse of the new economy.
Google treats .io as a gTLD so holders of a .io domain name don't get geo-targeted even though it is an actual ccTLD. This means that international players (like Jackpot.io) are actually able to operate internationally without being restricted to one territory (like a .uk for example).
What is becoming very evident with the .io domains is the enthusiasm and support from the tech industry. These leaders of the future of the digital world have embraced .io and made it their own. From start ups to innovators to entrepreneurs, the .io is a digital wonderland of the latest thinking and offerings from the digital industry.
Nowhere is this more evident than with the adoption of cryptocurrency. While crypto is still considered a 'fad' by the traditionalist banking industry and the old-money controllers of the financial world, the skyrocketing (and sometimes plummeting) values of the different cryptocurrencies on the market is proving otherwise.
Bitcoin has gone from an initial cost of $0.99 per coin to an astronomical all-time high of $64,800.00 - proving that it a currency that is gaining huge momentum with the digital-savvy new world.
And .io domains have cashed in on these trends - as they do with anything new in tech and digital - by becoming some of the most crypto accepting websites out there.
Jackpot.io is one example of the new movement to bring crypto into the online and mobile casino world, giving international online gamblers fast and easy access between their crypto wallets and their online casino accounts.
