  Hey there!
  So i bought the Domain Icaruzgames.com yesterday on WordPress and have refunded it, somehow the Domain still is marked as taken/registered (by wordpress).
  How long will it take, until the domain will be available again?

  Hi there!

  Canceled domains are not released immediately. In your case, since the domain was canceled right after you registered it, it should be released after 5 days from the cancelation (Feb 25th).

  We can also restore it for you before, although you’d need to pay the registration fee, and you wouldn’t be able to transfer the domain right away. For the first 60 days after the registration, it’s only possible to point the domain elsewhere:

  Let us know how you’d like to proceed.
