Jack’s Pinball

How to play

Hold Space (or the right half of the table on a phone) to pull the plunger back, and let go to launch. The longer you hold, the harder it goes. Then keep the ball in play with the flippers: left and right arrows, or Z and /. You have three balls, and a ball saver for the first few seconds of each one.

The bumpers at the top are Register, Renew and Relax, which is the whole idea. The three red targets on the left are tricks domain customers run into for real; on this table you get to knock them over. At the end of each ball you get a bonus for every target and lane you hit, times the multiplier.

The tricks on the left wall, and what we do instead

• The fake countdown. “Price expires in 4:59”, to rush you into a longer term. At Chill, the price is the price. Take a week to think about it.
• The pre-ticked add-on. A “privacy upgrade” or “website builder” already ticked at checkout. At Chill, the checkout has the domain. That’s it.
• The exit fee. A charge, or a “quick call first”, before you can take your domain elsewhere. At Chill, sign in and reveal your transfer code any time. No exit charge, no retention call.

Each one matches a written promise on our How it works page, and there are more on our dark patterns page. A .com.au at Chill is $20 a year inc GST and renews at the same $20 list price (see every extension’s price).
