The disputed domain name <lowenplaycasino.pro> was created on February 13, 2025. The Panel has exercised its general powers under paragraph 10 of the Rules to undertake limited factual research into matters of public record by visiting the website to which the disputed domain name resolves.

COMPLAINANT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Complainant claims to comprise collectively of Löwen Play GmbH, along with its subsidiary, Löwen Play digital GmbH. Löwen Play GmbH was established in 1949 and operates as a gambling business in Germany with over 350 locations and more than 2,000 employees. The Complainant collectively manages the websites https:\/\/www.loewen-play-unternehmen.de\/ and https:\/\/www.loewen-play.de\/.<\/p>\n

The Complainant holds rights in the company names \"Löwen Play GmbH\" and \"Löwen Play digital GmbH,\" and argues that the public refers to the company simply as \"Löwen Play,\" as the element \"GmbH\" is non-distinctive. Furthermore, the Complainant holds numerous trademark registrations for the term \"Löwen Play\" related to gambling and gaming machines and associated services.<\/p>\n

The Complainant asserts that the disputed domain name, <lowenplaycasino.pro>, is used for a fraudulent website that misleads consumers by claiming to be the \"offizielle Website\" (“official website”) of the Complainant. The Complainant claims this use is a \"grossly misleading\" attempt to commit fraud and causes the loss of customers who either play on the website or are disgusted by its lack of quality and standard compared to the Complainant’s legitimate website.<\/p>\n

The Complainant states that it sent a warning letter to the domain owner and a letter to the registrar. In response, the Complainant received an automated reply from the domain owner stating: “Your request has been received and the support team will respond within 24 hours”, but no further communication. The registrar similarly provided initially a standard notification but eventually disconnected the website associated with the disputed domain name.<\/p>\n

The Complainant thus urges that the disputed domain name be transferred to it.<\/p>\n
