Two parts: a bot and a mini app
The bot does the talking: welcome messages, balance checks and offers. The mini app is the casino, with the lobby, the games and the cashier.
Behind both sits the same back office as a website casino. They share one wallet, one game catalogue and one record for each player, so a player can start in Telegram and move to your website later, and their balance moves with them.
Why add Telegram
In many markets Telegram is the default messaging app, and your players already spend their day in its channels and groups. A bot puts your casino in the same place. Players skip the app store and the download, and a message from your bot lands in the same list as messages from friends, where players read it.
Sign-up and deposits inside the chat
Signing up takes one tap: the player logs in with their Telegram account. KYC still runs where your licence requires it.
Deposits happen inside the chat by credit card, local payment gateways or crypto. The balance updates in the Telegram casino and on the website at the same moment. Withdrawals go through the same wallet, and your payment rules and limits stay as they are.
Games in Telegram
Games open in Telegram's built-in browser, so the whole catalogue of more than 16,000 games is available: slots, crash games and live tables. Crash-style games such as plinko, mines and dice suit the chat best. Bonuses and tournaments run in the bot too, with the same campaigns as on your website.
Growing through channels and groups
You run a channel and post your new games and tournaments there. Each post can carry a button that takes the player straight to the lobby. When a player goes quiet, the bot can message them about a new tournament or a bonus that is waiting.
Mistakes Telegram casinos make early on
- A bot with its own wallet. A player tops up in Telegram and then cannot see that money on the website.
- A lobby built for a desktop screen. Inside the chat it loads slowly and players give up.
- Launching everywhere with one plan. The rules differ by market, so check each one before you go live.
- Channels that post offers all day. Players mute them and stop reading.
Launching in four stages
- Agree your markets, games and payment methods.
- Build the bot flows and connect them to your platform.
- Test the games and the cashier inside Telegram before launch.
- After go-live, we keep monitoring, support your players and give you an account manager.
Already running a website casino? The bot goes alongside it and shares the same player accounts, and because the platform already exists it ships in weeks. Without a website, the bot can be your only front end.
