Anyone using these Telegram casinos? Are they legit or just another scam?

So i keep seeing ads for these "telegram casinos" lately. Apparently you gamble directly through telegram app instead of a website? TG Casino seems to be the biggest one but there's a bunch of others popping up too.

Has anyone actually used these? Main questions:

  • Do they actually pay out when you win?
  • How's the game selection compared to regular crypto casinos?
  • Any kyc bs when withdrawing larger amounts?

Sick of getting screwed by regular bitcoin casinos that suddenly need my life story when I hit a decent win, but skeptical about these telegram ones too. Seems even shadier somehow lol.

Been using TG Casino since December and surprisingly it's actually legit. Was skeptical af at first but they've paid out every time including a $3.8k win last month with no kyc or verification bs.

The telegram interface is weird as hell at first but you get used to it. Game selection isn't as huge as some regular crypto casinos but they have all the popular stuff - pragmatic slots, evolution live games, crash, etc.

Main pros:
  • withdrawals are FAST (like 10-15 mins)
  • actually no kyc (so far at least)
  • works well on mobile since telegram is native app
  • good rakeback program

Main cons:
  • fewer games than big crypto casinos
  • can be glitchy sometimes
  • no traditional welcome bonus

using this link gives extra rakeback if you wanna try it

are these the same as those "crash gambling" telegram bots that were popular a while back? those were definitely scams, lost like $500 to one called "rocket crash" or something. promised provably fair games but was obviously rigged.

adding another vote for TG. been using it as my main casino for about 5 months now. mostly play slots (pragmatic, hacksaw, etc) and their version seems identical to what you'd get on any other casino.

hit a 250x on gates of olympus last week and had the btc in my wallet in literally 12 minutes. no questions asked, no verification, nothing. try getting that at stake or bc game these days lol.

the whole setup through telegram is different but honestly makes it easier to play on phone vs regular casino websites.

nah these are different. The scam ones were just random telegram bots, these newer ones like TG are actual casinos that just use telegram as their interface instead of a website. They have legit game providers (pragmatic, evolution, etc) not just some homemade crash game.

I've tried both TG and a newer one called Coincasino that also runs through telegram. both seem legit so far.

TG is more established with faster withdrawals, but coincasino has a better game selection including some providers I haven't seen elsewhere. their discord community is actually helpful too when you have questions.

one thing to watch for with ANY telegram/crypto casino - bonus terms are usually trash. high wagering requirements that make them basically impossible to clear. better to just play without bonuses most of the time tbh.

Seriously guys? We're now trusting casinos that don't even have a proper website? lmao this space gets shadier by the day

What happens when telegram decides gambling bots violate TOS and shuts them all down? Your money just disappears? At least regular crypto casinos have some accountability.

i was skeptical too but TG has been surprisingly reliable. i think the telegram interface actually adds security in some ways - your account is tied to your telegram which has 2FA, vs just a username/password on regular casino sites.

Your concern is valid about telegram TOS but these operators seem to have been around for a while without issues. just don't keep large balances in your account to be safe.


actually, I found a pretty comprehensive breakdown of how these telegram casinos work here on insidebitcoins. they compared a bunch of them and explain the pros/cons better than i could. worth checking out if you're curious about how they actually operate behind the scenes.

Something no one's mentioned - these telegram casinos often have better RTPs (return to player %) than regular online casinos, especially for slots.

From my testing and what I've been able to verify:
  • TG runs games at 96-97% RTP for most slots
  • Regular online casinos often run same games at 94-95%
  • Land casinos in Vegas/etc are even worse at 90-92%
This is because telegram casinos have lower overhead costs so they can afford tighter margins.

That article Sadnica linked actually mentions this too - apparently the licensing costs for traditional online casinos forces them to squeeze extra profit from game RTPs. Telegram operations bypass a lot of that overhead.

Thanks everyone for the insights and especially for that article link - answered a lot of my questions about how these actually work.

Decided to try TG since it seems to have the most positive feedback. Just signed up and deposited a small amount to test it out. Interface definitely takes some getting used to but seems to work fine so far.

Will report back about withdrawal experience once I either lose it all or hopefully hit something worth cashing out.

one thing to be aware of with telegram casinos - your account is tied to your telegram handle. if you care about privacy that might be an issue depending how you set up your telegram.

i use a separate telegram account just for gambling to keep it isolated from my main one where friends/family can see my activity.

The thing I like best about these telegram casinos is how well they work on mobile. Regular casino websites are always clunky on phones, even with their "mobile optimized" versions. Since telegram is a native app, everything just works smoother. Games load faster, fewer connection issues, and I've never had a game freeze mid-spin like happens constantly on browser-based casinos.

One downside though - battery drain is pretty intense when playing slots or live dealer games. Keep your charger handy if you're planning a longer session.
