On May 12th (Sunday) at 20.00 CET there will be exclusive freeroll for BitCoinTalk forum. The prize pool is $100.

Registration by link (https://t.me/myTonPokerBot/lobby?startapp=eyJ0eXBlIjoidG91cm5hbWVudHMiLCJ0aWQiOiI2NjM5M2Y4YmE4Y2FiNTcyMzFmYzA5NGEiLCJhZnAiOiJOVFpsWmpReE1XVmlaVGRsTVROaE1tVm1aamM1T1dSbU16a3hORFEzWTJFIn0)

Sorry to ask but what’s your relationship with the site? I noticed that you used a referral link in your thread which means that you could either be here to just get people to register through your link OR be a legit representative of the site. Is there any way we could confirm your relationship with the them so that we would know that we’re dealing with a representative should in case any issue arise.

And By the way, welcome to Bitcointalk - do well to work on your the thread (if you’re not here for referrals) that would help get you more attention and discussions here.

Hello, sure. I have relations to the company, I used refferal link to track registrations if any. I am in touch with developers and my role is mostly attract new partners/affiliates to promote TonPoker.

I guess we may create freeroll for BitCoinTalk, do you think if it may have sense?

We had to be sure that we aren’t dealing with a referral link spammer thus the question.


It would be a great idea, since it would allow users from bitcointalk play without an entry fee. And I guess those that suck at poker like myself can use it as an opportunity to play poker a bit.  ;D

Sure will do. What is suggested time? Oriented on Europe or Americas?

Decent.

Couple of low stake cash games with 1 mid and 1 high cash games table currently running. I cant seems to find any tournaments and previous tournaments though. Also couple of free tables running, Im not even sure why people are spending their time basically playing in a free cash tables without getting anything though. Its so weird


Sticking with forum timezone seems like a better idea.

The owners of this bot have a good sense of humor ;D

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/04/30/rT0Vo.png

Well. That sure is a deal breaker.
They are either extremely greedy and trying to profit as much as possible for anyone willing to give this service a try/a chance, or this is nothing but a mistake make by them when setting things up when comes to tracking the price of Bitcoin for players to be able to deposit.
I mean, I have seen services both related and unrelated to gambling through my journey with Bitcoin, and all of them had some kind of difference with the spot price of Bitcoin, for the sake of profiting out the volume of users, but that spread you just hightlighted is simply ridiculous in my opinion.

If they do not correct it and show some more competitive price for Bitcoin, I would not advice anyone to even try this Bot/Telegram casino whatsoever. For Gods sake...

The prices are wrong for all the other coins as well... it seems to me that they are the prices from November or December last year. Strangely, they didn't check everything before deciding to start working, this kind of mistake is not naive. A few people are already playing on some tables, I wonder which coins they deposited and are they already at a loss? Well, let's hope it's just a mistake... I guess OP will have to clear this with us, or nobody will even try to play their freerolls even if they are just for us from btctalk.

Delivering events specially for Bitcointalk community and member is always the best way to show your generosity towards gamblers from this forum in which you knew how would be the better bringing in the future.
if you can lure us to trust and play in your site then for sure you will be confidently see brighter future than nothing.also support this suggestion .

yeah , lets hope that this is just an error and act instantly today  or else they will lose a chance  many potential depositor and gambler here.
lets see if the OP will let the team know about this controversial . and also maybe this is just a small mistakes from the team .

I have read all on the official website and in this  review https://thepokeragent.com/ton-poker-app/ (https://thepokeragent.com/ton-poker-app/)

I understood all except whether i can change already existing account to some affiliate for better rakeback deal. If someone is aware how to do it, pls let me know. Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum but I agree with Xal0lex that the devs of the project are very greedy and that's why they are converting Bitcoin at way cheaper rates than the market. I hope it's just a bug or they're too lazy to update the rate of Bitcoin.

Welcome to bitcointalk platform. From your response to questions asked you, I realised that you are just here doing affiliate marketing to promote your referral link. At first when I saw the name and topic of the thread, what came to my "mendula oblongata" is the fact that you are likely the  a representative of the casino here which would have been better and preferable but you being an affiliate marketer can not guarantee the safety of playing with the casino. Because I believe you can not communicate them to rectify issues as you are not their customer care service neither are you their team member but just a business man who is doing his or her task to rake in rewards and helping in promoting the casino here.

I will advise you discuss with the casino team to looking into making their presence count here for more visibility and transparency. I believe I am Speaking the mind of other members as well.

Welcome!

Again, another casino but this time a poker room on telegram. It seems that we're going to see more of these casinos and other platforms roaming around and maximizing the usage of telegram.

Anyway, how many have already tried here to sit on their table on this telegram generated poker room?

The developer hasn't changed it until now they should have right away after you read your post if they are following their announcement thread, they are in a hurry to launch their platform without checking and verifying the info that they are going to present to their users.
I hope nobody proceeded to deposit,

The current rate is more than $57k already, so don't know where the team is getting their exchange rate. It should at least be in a reputable platform. Now, they are seeing that users here are also checking their channel. If such exchange rate is being implemented to their current players, that's an obvious robbery to their users.

The OP here as he said has contact with the developers, so he should inform this asap. Otherwise, it will give negative impact to their telegram casino. Do remember, most telegram casinos are not recommended by most gamblers here.

I've been looking at many platforms that have to do with poker, but on telegram? It's new to me, I know there is casino fever on Telegram now, we don't know how applicable and authentic it is in terms of doing things as honestly as possible, who applies provably fair? I don't think so, in Telegram the accesses are different, even by codes and by certain commands, I don't know how it is, because I am very afraid of entering Telegram and that they are like that, I have bad experiences with Telegram and well, the truth is I would like to wait for a little to share the different screenshots to see how the players are doing, the withdrawals, everything related to money.

I thought that exchange rate was a mistake or bug but it seems that they are pretty serious about it, since the OP is  in touch with the developers maybe he/she can give this concern to the developers. It is indeed that it's my first time to see a Telegram Poker Room and it's better to resolve this issue so they could have more players in their platform. Also, a local competition or giveaways, as well as some other campaign is a good thing if you wanted to reach more potential players in your platform.

I prefer desktop sites vs telegram casinos. Not sure how secure gambling from telegram is. Any plans to launch a desktop version?

Why is the offer rate of their platform like that? It's like they are stealing a cut from those who will try what they offer. It seems that their rates on Ethereum and Bitcoin are not updated. Why can't they fix it? What if no one will try it or it's their first time? They are already victims when that happens.

The one offered is okay, but if that's the rate they exchange, it's not good, to be honest. He should fix that issue first before they proceed, and he should check the others carefully first.

It could be legit, who knows? But it is obvious that you are here to catch some free money since you use your refferal link, the problem I have with this idea is who the teams are, if anything happen who are you going to talk to?

Do you know that those games are also available on every online casinos this days? You are getting the same if not better experience anyway so do not expect people to start using this bot for gambling.

I also have problem wiyh with anything Ton related, to use the wallet on Telegram you need to registered via your phone number, if this doesn't sound alarming to you then you are probably a fool, because of SIM swap attcaks are still out there, you lose access to your sim card you lose access to your telegram account.

Why do you think that every blockchain projects have private keys or recovery seed? So that it will be near impossible for you to lose your funds, and the few stupid projects rely on users creating an account using mails and phone numbers, that is not a security, you have been warned.

The rates of all coins are updated there, but it's clearly not in favor of users. For example, now the BTC to USDT exchange rate is ~$31k, i.e. the BTC rate on their platform is underestimated by about 46% compared to what it really should be. Imho, if they can't or don't want to fix it, they should remove all deposit methods altogether and leave only USDT.

With all these new Telegram casinos popping out, I'm sure Telegram is making bank off of them or if not at least figuring out how to milk the industry.

It used to be that the crypto gambling industry was largely consigned to their own sites. But the fact that all this crypto is flowing to and from Telegram, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to monetize all this, like through their wallet application for example.

     It's not really right if they don't fix it; its price is too far from the current price of bitcoin and ethereum. They should fix that right away, because if they pull it off, it's possible that someone else will fall into that trap.

     And it seems that it will come out in the end; they really did it on purpose, and when that happened, it was clear that the people on the site that have it are scammers.

I'll wait for the OP to respond about this conversion rate in the telegram bot, how can it be that low compared to the actual price.
Although OP is not the owner but I'm sure he knows about it better than most of us here since he is the one who introduce this poker bot in this forum.
For now, we can speculate only why the rate is so low here and so far there are at least few speculations:
1. They did it intentionally in order to make profit from players.
2. The rate is not updated due to system error or something similar.
3. Visual glitch but I doubt it  ;D

It's kinda interesting to see how telegram works with gambling, I just hope that it's going to run smoothly without lesser bug same with desktop applications running gambling.
Welcome to this forum, I'm positive that everyone will be interested with this telegram bot poker room. Let's see how it runs using web telegram on my desktop chrome, because I prefer instead of android mobile device limited viewing.

Welcome to BitcoinTalk. It nice to see that Telegram best online casino's are entering in Bitcointalk arena. Recently we have seen bons telegram I am also working with them and now I am seeing yours casinos. Why don't you make a eye catching ann thread you should also buy copper membership for  adding images on your thread.
By the way have you restricted some countries ?
Cause I can't log in to yours casino it showing a blank display only.
https://i.postimg.cc/DwDKLJXW/IMG-20240502-214334.jpg

Afaik there’s no restrcted country to play the site since it’s just like a poker app. Probably the problem is on your telegram app not displaying the launch command to redirect your the poker website.

---

It’s so nice to play on this poker. There’s a lot of active players playing on free table while the display is very crisp which is impressive for a telegram app. There’s only a minimal lag when placing bets or raising bets when clicking the buttons.

Also the “x” button to close the chat box is not working. It needs to click the chat icon again in able to close the chat but over all this poker app is very good to play.

You have many options available on the forum to promote your project, including:
- Providing incentives to users from the forum, but you must find a way to verify each of them, whether automatically, or you will have to verify them manually. Of course, it would be better to specify some conditions to avoid manipulation.
- Launching competitions/promotions on the forum for which the site is the sponsor. This will not cost a large budget because competitions can be launched periodically (for example, once a week) during which users win a ordinary amount ($10-$100).
- Launching a signature campaign: This must be done in cooperation with one of the expert campaign managers on the forum, because supervising all the details will never be easy for a member with a new account like you.

Welcome to the forum and I wish your project success.

To operate a casino on Telegram with all the features, they need a paid membership (premiums), which is already a means to generate income for Telegram because a normal Telegram user can't have up to the data limit they offer to premium users.
 
The rapid growth of telegram casinos I assume it is based on the demand of individuals. Inasmuch as Telegram has been known to be a place filled with spammers and scammers, there are still people who find it a safe place to interact, so bringing a casino to their doorstep is a way for the casino owners to draw an audience to their business.

So only premium users can operate casino means telegram also encourage/promote those things and may add many other features to attract more. But the plus point i think is anyone can access and play those without any restriction as other web based casino maybe geo restricted or government can ban those sites in their countries.

Anyone can access it without restriction as long as they are allowed to use Telegram. There is no doubt about that, but the more they start getting more popular and regulatory bodies start seeing the funds going in and out of Telegram Casino, they will start pressuring the casino owners to put some restrictions on them or ask Telegram to restrict what their citizens can access.
 
Let's still not forget that Telegram is a centralised community, so they are not immune to government restrictions. If the government of any country that wants to sanction its citizens can't get to the casino, surely they will get to the Telegram team or developers.

Yeah and not to mention that it feels like some sort of half assed project or whatsoever if its build on telegram though. I'd rather have a stand alone website with its own dekstop apps integrated with top poker network around


Anyway OP was online earlier today but he is not replying to any of this so probably Im guessing that he is not an actual representative from tonPoker or probably he gives up on this thread since it is not generating any traffic for him

Having played on whales casino, also a telegram casino, I like you note that this casino are in-built inside telegram and can run flawlessly inside the app, both on mobile and desktop telegrams, and they are just as secure as your telegram account is.
That is, if anyone gains access to your telegram account, they will also gain access to your account on this casinos, so to be safe, you have to take security of your telegram account serious, set a password that must be entered any time you want to log into your telegram account on a new device, activate 2fa too, once your telegram account is well secured, rest assured that your account on any of this telegram casinos are secure too.

You should always be serious about the security of your accounts period, whether on telegram or not.

I think i'd just rather feel a little more secure using a proven platform on a desktop vs taking the risk of an unproven telegram casino.

Poker is a good game but to be played through telegram bot? I have never tried it and I'm always being skeptical when it comes to casino based on telegram app. I think having its own website or maybe its own mobile app is still better than telegram bot, at least I used to play in both web based poker and mobile app poker.


I'm a bit confused with your position, are you one of the admin/owner/marketing staff in this TonPoker or are you just an affiliate who is merely try to attract new players for your own benefits?

His affiliate link doesn't look like an owner's parameters but it's a TON wallet address, it must be where commissions go when someone signs up under it.

Anyway, several casinos already launching casino versions on Telegram, I am not sure if there are really lots of users playing using telegram but it's cool to see how easy it is to access casinos just using a Telegram account. What I have tried so far in telegram was their exchange only. No KYC.

There are many questions in this section that should be answered by OP since he is promoting it here in the forum community. It is good for him to answer and focus on the question posted here so that he does not think badly of the telegram he gave.

Since he had a good start when he made this post, from another angle, he was given the opportunity to believe him anyway, but by not responding, that is not good, and maybe in the end no one will believe him.

First of all - i don`t believe newbie accounts, without at least copper membership. The second - referral link don`t increase my trust.  After it i don`t sure, tat poker is a nice game for telegram bot. It not very nice even for phone app, as for me. At least it would be interesting to see some screenshots from the game. I like my phone to much to test it myself and i`m too lazy to create VM for such tests.

It's interesting, every website that offers Poker game and accepts cryptocurrencies are very interesting for me but when I type mytonpokerbot and choose 1 Play for FREE, the popup loads endlessly. When I click on 3 Play for USDT, it loads without problems.

The owner of this bot probably took the exchange rate from the nearest local crypto ATM ;D

It's basically connecting to the website from Telegram, just like you click on a URL in Messenger and then a website pops up in your smartphone. In reality, the URL of this game in Telegram is tgwa.tonpoker.online, you are connected to this website when you play on TonPoker.

This is a great catch this was posted on April 30 and OP logged on May 2 but they did not explain if this was a bug or a glitch or intentional checking on their telegram they haven't fixed the error, they should have an issue an update, can we trust OP since he admitted that he is not the developer but only here to attract users that makes him just an affiliate.

Welcome to the forum guys, good to have you guys advertising your telegram poker on bitcointalk, I am a very active user of telegram and as well have played on a couple of telegram casinos recently, and I can't wait to try this one out too, but first, there is a problem...
I don't know how to play poker - please don't tell anyone else 🤗.

But on a more serious note, are there some kind of quick poker tutorials available for onboarding brand new poker players from telegram? Like myself, I've never played poker before and honestly do not know how to play, even though I am very eager to learn, but work and busy schedule of real life won't allow me the time.
So, if you guys have a quick tutorial available for onboarding new poker players, that would be excellent and I did be interested to try your site.

By the way, nothing is wrong if you get a copper membership, Create a proper/ a more professional Ann thread, and also launch a signature ad campaign to promote your poker telegram casino here on the forum.

You're not different from being an affiliate its different when you are in touch to being a part of the team, if you're just in contact because we all can contact developers too then you have no part in the development and addressing of issues, but if you're part of the team than you have access to the development group and back end of the platform.
The platform has issue on the price of the exchange if you're a part of the team then you can easily address this one but you choose to ignore because you're not part of the development team and you cannot provide a definite answer.

The price difference is not only for BTC, if you check other currencies that are being accepted by the bot you’ll see that all of them have an outrageous price difference from the current market price.

For example Sol in Binance is being traded at ~$142 but on the bot they have it at ~$91, while for XRP, it’s being traded at ~$0.52 but theirs is $0.31. That just goes to show how outdated their system is.

And assuming we were dealing with a dev and not a referral link spammer then we would have been able to point it to them.

Yeah, same here, although I have seen some telegram casinos and it seems that this is the new trend? However, as maybe I will call myself a old school gamblers, I have played on a telegram casinos that have their desktop version.

But as what others have pointed out, it seems though that the exchange rate is not that fair and this could be a give away already that not many will play on this telegram casino because of this discrepancies.

I don't think there is any problem with telegram app for that blank display. I think there is some restriction on country basis because I have tried it on VPN after using VPN it's so the interface and without VPN its shows the blank display so I don't think there is any problem with my Telegram app. I have also tried out to reach there support bot but there was no response with the command.
Accept these issues I really like their interface on mobile I don't deposit any fund yet because I have to use it with VPN and as well as the play for free button is not working with VPN also.

For me personally, I prefer to play the games on the PC, in the desktop version, but since Telgeram has its desktop version, I imagine that you can also play there by downloading the version on Windows or any OS, however when it comes to Telegram Well, there is not so much restriction due to its high encryption, because Peroans everywhere can open a telegram, talk in private mode and nothing happens, so I imagine that the version of any casino must provide some privacy, I don't think it is They can put some laws in there, although SEO has to be done from a country due to the issue of licenses, it is what I believe is the most convenient thing to do.

Maybe that's because we are used to playing gambling using a desktop and seeing the full view of the casino. Often people feel satisfaction when they can see the full appearance of the casino on their desktop or laptop rather than seeing the casino on their phone screen.

But it depends on each person. Some like to gamble at Telegram casinos because according to them, it is simpler and more comfortable to gamble. And maybe this will become a new trend in the gambling industry.

If the exchange rate is not very fair, the developer should fix it immediately. It would be better if users could get the same exchange rates as those on the market.

If there is a desktop version, for sure I will try it as well, but if it's pure Telegram, kinda small screen so yeah, I might skip that casino for good. Doesn't matter though if there is high encryption, not against it but sooner or later this cyber groups might have found a loophole to exploit.

And just like the majority, we like to see games being played in our screen for better view and better experience. Specially for me who have been playing on traditional land base casinos for many years but trying to adjust on online games in desktop mode.

The casinos being host within the Telegram and Ton ecosystems, in my opinion, seem to be targeted to people who are already pretty much into cryptocurrencies, specially the Ton ecosystem instead of Bitcoin. It could be also attractive for those who plan to play poker on the go, on their phones instead on a desktop computer. Though, there are already many alternatives for people to play proker on their phones which are not necessarily restricted to only using Ton as currency and also other tokens like USDT.

Anyways, this is still a quite new tendency and I would not dare to make predictions on whether this will pan out or not. It will take much time before one of these bots are developers can accumulate much of a good reputation, so they can even start to compete to regular crypto casinos like stake, freebtc or Bc.

Telegram casinos will never reach Stake or BC.Games... I don't know why you even made such a comparison, this is a telegram poker app, those casinos you mentioned don't have poker. You can compare this app with Pineapple Poker, or some poker sites, but even that is hard.


He didn't come back to explain anything about it, he mentioned something about free tournaments for forum members... so far this story seems pretty strange, I doubt OP will be able to attract players if he doesn't get serious.

I am also a player in physical casinos, in fact it was my first experience in a physical casino before in an online casino, but for these things we are still people who have certain experiences and that is why we integrate to be open to any possibility of playing, clearly telegram It is not an ideal environment for this, Telegram is more towards communication, private conversations, with high security, which cannot even be traced and in SPAIN above all there are many things that the Treasury cannot do if its Citizens use Telegram, and it is impossible to track them, so this Telegram thing is not a big deal, if they make some adaptation so that it has a graphical environment to be able to generate better images or something like that, then things will change.

Having a desktop version of a casino doesn't mean there cannot be a mobile app as well for people who might wanna play on the go.

Just seems like another version of pppoker or pokerrr which are mobile apps.

I am aware of it, that is why I also think these Telegram casinos and message app based casinos will have a very hard time at the beginning of their commercial careers, most of the most popular casinos and reliable bookies around here are already available on our phones, they run smoothly enough for us to gamble in the go. It was not the case, then more people would feel undoubtly more appealed to try and download apps like Telegram for the sake of gambling while they travel or while they are going back home after a long time of work, etc.

Whoever is behind a casino bot running on Telegram is supposed to expect his business to start to blossom in the long term, as the Ton community grows and more gamblers willing to try new experiences also arrive and try their service, as stands for now, this is a niche and a gimmick within a market dominated by services which have been around since more than a decade ago.

Maybe he has yet to get a response from the main casino team since he is just an affiliate marketer.
 
He might have thought that by sharing the idea with the team, they would buy it and probably grant such requests as a result of getting the forum member's attention, so the Op not coming back might either be because he has not gotten a response yet or because he was turned down on the request.
 
Only team members who are directly in charge of such a department should make some kind of tournament promise.

Then maybe it’s on your ISP provider blocking some content on telegram. The problem is still not related to the casino because it’s still part of the telegram bot. Casino restrictions will apply when you already launch the app through the link provided by the bot.

But on your screenshot, it’s still part of telegram and not the casino jurisdiction since it’s still not the casino. It’s just odd that you can’t access the telegram bot in full capacity using your own IP.

---

Anyway this casino for poker is really awesome for regular telegram users. I just hope that OP can contact official representative rather than him being just an affiliate for this casino.

Hello, everyone

First of all I would like to invite you to take part in an exclusive freeroll for the forum, which will take place on Sunday. I left the link for registration in the first post.

Now for the questions. There is indeed a problem with the conversion rate of cryptocurrencies inside the room, but to be honest, no one paid attention to it and we ourselves did not think that the problem exists.

The fact that the game currency in the room - USDT, and naturally the room does not earn on the commission. You may deposit in USDT with no fees/comissions and enjoy instant cashouts. To accept deposits in cryptocurrencies other than USDT, a third-party service is used.

Of course, now this situation has been paid attention to and it will be solved. However, the problem has a simple solution - you can exchange BTC or other crypto at the rate you like on your exchange or wherever you like and make deposits in USDT. For those who are interested in playing poker this will be not a big problem.

If this is happening anywhere in the world , does it mean that service providers are able to ban certain things from Telegram due to your location? This is something that seems strange, I see telegram as the superior communication outlet to circumvent private media, where it cannot be traced and privacy is guaranteed, if a poker casino is set up, I think it is safe if They use the Telegram Environment, at the same time it is a good business because you don't pay much, maybe what you can pay for is a premium version of Telegram, but from there no more, this is a great Business , it is something that everyone goes for to look for in the future to save a few dollars there.

Of course, depositing with USDT allows users to avoid this problem. However, if you didn't pay attention to the conversion rate problem earlier, you can be sure that there will be more inattentive users who will make a deposit at such an unfavorable rate. In this case, it would make sense to remove all these deposit methods and keep only USDT until the problem is solved.

Even though they are not the first to do it, many people are still surprised because we think telegram is only just for instant messaging but we don't know that it can also support it. This casino here might still be new and as well as this Telegram gambling feature, so bugs are pretty much possible but don't worry because as time passes by, I'm sure they will only get fixed or improved.

I rarely saw a gambling app in the PC but maybe what you said is the ones on why they are not created or as popular as the online and app version in mobiles. I use pc version of Telegram and it runs fine but maybe not anymore once gambling inside it is what we are talking about. Since you are using a web version of Telegram, gambling inside them might also work well as they will run in the web/browser too. Good Luck!

Thanks for this Free Roll and hope that there will be more participants though because of those questions giving above , will try to give it a look and decide if i can take part or not .but still goodluck guys and hope the outcome will be favoring both you and the participants.

Although he said that the conversion rate will be fixed but I feel that he does not really care about players.
Professional operator will try to give the most comfortable ways for their players instead of suggesting players to go to exchange first.
I have to agree that it is better if all the other coins except USDT should be removed first, some players may not notice the conversion rate and make deposit then they will realize that what they send is reduced a lot because of the low conversion rate.
In a result, players will be disappointed and they may lose their interest to play for long term.

Well, if the game is fixed and charged in usd, which means that immediately one deposits maybe bitcoin or TON and any other crypto currency that is not stable, but accepted by the casino, the casino will immediately convert that crypto to its equivalent value in usd, if this is How the casino operates, and their converting rate is lower than the coin's worth on exchanges, then that is very bad practice on the side of the casino, it's as good as trying to cheat the users by buying their coins for lesser than it's worth, and giving them usd that is far lesser than their coin is worth in the market, if this be the current situation right now with this casino, then I won't even bother playing there, though I've previously signed up.

Good casinos chooses one of the reputatable exchanges like Binance, coin base and so on, and copy their api and integrate it into their exchange system, and the system will use the same rate on the choosen exchange to convert users coins into usd, but if this is too difficult to do, then the casino should only allow usdt deposits, instead of stealing from users.

Yeah they must care their player/customer for their own casino reputation. Going to exchange and converting into usdt, just to play isn't sound convenient and professional. Converting crypto to its equivalent value in usd in realtime is must do thing for company goodwill. But as OP said they will disable other deposit & keep only USDT until problem will be solved, I hope they fix the problem ASAP & again open deposit many top cryptos with the feature of converting them into usd in realtime.

Nice promotion, and for a free roll it's a nice prize pool. For now, there are just 4 of us who registered, but I think there is enough time for others to join. It will be interesting, we haven't had a poker game on the forum for a long time, so I guess it will be fun to play with some people again. Good luck to everyone.

Many people like to play tournaments more than cash games, it's totally different. So if you want to make a serious poker site, you need a good tournament offer with some guaranteed prize like many other poker sites.

They can disable all they want, withdrawals, but let them leave it if it is a withdrawal in USD that can be made, not that they give problems to withdraw, that is something that we must see, however when the withdrawals are left in the air, or in process, or under review and they are not made Effective because that is something that we must wait to see what this will result in , it may be that it Happens, but if it does not happen, it is something that should not be trusted, I will always see these things like this, until you can withdraw money for me it is not reliable, in these things you must be very astute and try the withdrawals and everything that is and is Available, especially in casinos that you have to deal with telegram.

OP didn't say they would disable deposit methods except for USDT. Earlier, I only suggested this as a temporary solution. However, if you go into their bot, you will notice that all deposit methods are available, and the problem is still not solved. In fact, the problem is trivial and can be solved by connecting the API of some popular exchange.

I think that it shows the interest of the members. It is just fashion - telegram bots, ton... It isn`t interesting for the most part of the poker players. I don`t see any reason to change pokerstars(for example) for something uncomfortable. And i even don`t talking about bugs and strange prices of cryptocurrencies.

Its not a bad idea what you're doing, but you need to make it in a more ideal and official manner, whereby you will be trusted for this, if you're their representative, then try to go through the normal way by creating the announcement thread for that, encourage the company to engage on a signature campaign and also get for yourself a copper membership rank, this will earn you some level of trust with what you offer or do.

Hi I really want to join the '$100 TonPoker Exclusive Freeroll for BitcoinTalk Community but I can't directly to the registration link or the table. Is it possible to join that tournament through telegram bot? Currently I'm only using a smartphone clicking the registration link shows unavailable.

As I understand it, this tournament is only available through the link they provided in another thread. However, I checked it now, and it works fine both through the mobile app and the desktop telegram app. As for the error you wrote about, it can be fixed. Alternatively, you can try changing the DNS server in your phone settings to the public DNS server from Google (8.8.8.8 )

I agree with what you say, it is always good to verify things with Images , especially Screenshots, this is the only way that I can have some credibility, also show proof of withdrawal, and for everything to be somewhat transparent , I start from the principle that the mypria in the first place we are very distrustful of the telegram option because so many scammers out there are from Telegram and it has become very fashionable to establish this type of things so that they can expand the modalities of stealing from people, for this reason The same problem is that all these verifications are oiled, to have more security tests.

To give everyone an update until now they haven't updated the rate or taken down the BTC deposit; this could be intentional because they address this issue in a vague manner

How about those people who are not part of this forum, who are not aware of the issue, and who decide to deposit, this is an issue that should be addressed and not ignored, it's only a matter of time before one of the users made a mistake of depositing, to gain the trust of the community it's better to correct it or take it down and only retain the USDT deposit.

I'd have to agree with you, if you can provide screenshots of the gamer experience then I'd be interested. But its some telegram bot that you have a poker game set up? Do you have a youtube guide or something that we can see? What is the game play and wagering experience like & where is TonPoker based out of? I am searching for a really nice user friendly program that I can run through an application & play interactively with other peers. Has anyone seen such a service that they have found enjoyable? I would love to try this, I just don't want to waste my time.

I agree with you, I doubt that any player will replace Pokerstars (or any other stronger poker site) for Telegram poker. Especially if that poker has only cash tables... And definitely low interest from the members shows what people generally think about Telegram casinos and poker bots. But that's understandable, we can't compare Telegram poker bots with poker sites, they can't come close to them in any way. The appearance itself, the selection of games, the number of players... it's a long list of what poker bots lack to become more interesting for serious poker players.

I don`t believe in poker using the messenger. Don`t spend time - use some mobile apps or use desktop for website or desktop app. It will be the best choice if you like poker. Using the messenger for playing poker will disappoint you.
If you read the last posts here - you can see that even freeroll don`t interest members here.

Of course, those poker projects that run bots in Telegram will never be able to compete with full-fledged poker rooms. At least because users are most often attracted by the regular tournament series with multi-million dollar guarantees, and projects that run bots in Telegram clearly can't afford such costs regularly.

I'm not going to join but it's true that it's been so long since I've seen a poker game in the forum. The popular one was with swcpoker but I don't know what happened to them.

The prize pool isn't bad for every participant to enjoy it. It's Sunday and I've got to do something that's why I can't join it. But those that have registered and haven't read it yet, there's still ample time for you to sign.

So with that, I wish tonpoker and all of the participants good luck.

I've won 1st place and I have received my reward. Thank you!  :)

First of all, thanks for the freeroll.
I was one of 17 players registered and probably only 5-6 people playing, the rest were sit outs.
The structure was very super turbo like, after 20min big blind was like 1000 chips, at a 10000 chip starting stack. So it became a lottery real quick but I was lucky enough ( even though unlucky the way I lost ) to gain 3rd place and win 20$.

The 20$ were in my account and I was able to withdraw them, in USDT TRC-20 .
There was no information about fees and I was surprised I "only" got 16.94 USDT of a 20.01$ withdrawal.
Pretty high for such a transaction even though the fee was just like 10 TRX, which is short over 1$.

That aside, the withdrawal worked and came after like 20 seconds.

About ton poker in general. I like the software but it still has some flaws. First of all it was a hassle to get on the table. You had to reconfirm your phone number, while the tournament was already running. So I missed some hands. Wasn't able to do that before the tournament started.
Also the sit outs should be marked as sitting out. There was no sign of that other them folding every hand.

Since I like poker I will test the site/app a little bit more once I have some time.

Overall it was a good but improvable experience! Thanks!

You got lucky in the last hand as you got a king on the river. :P Anyway, congrats on winning this freeroll! ;)
Even though AHOYBRAUSE has already mentioned some points, I would also like to give my thoughts on this poker bot.
The table and tournament interface looks good, although the "check" button in the right corner is inconvenient for me. As for the lobby, I don't really like its functionality as there is nothing in the tournaments tab and even if you are registered in a tournament, the tournament is still not displayed in this tab. Also, it's unclear whether you can see the results of the completed tournament and the history of hands.
Since I don't really like cash games and MTTs are absent in this poker bot, I decided to withdraw my winnings for second place($30) in the freeroll. Surprisingly, the withdrawal process works well, although the USDT withdrawal fee is overpriced.

Overall, my first impressions of this poker bot aren't bad, and the freeroll tournament was quite easy because many registered participants were sitting out. ;D Apparently, many of them forgot the start time of the tournament.

Congratulations mate.

Looks like a success on your end tonpoker and you've got pretty much loved from the participants. We're waiting for what you think about what ahoybruase have said as a feed back to the event that you've got started.

Or they just like to watch you over as you guys played against each other. Anyway, again congrats to everyone and also to tonpoker, seems to be a successful event.

I didn't forget about the tournament, I was supposed to be free but due to some unforeseen circumstances I had to be at work yesterday... when I got home the tournament was already over.


If there were 17 players, of which only 5 were active, I wouldn't call it a successful tournament... some poker tournaments with a much smaller prize draw a lot more people. So we can say that this tournament did not attract much attention and people even though it had a nice prize.

Congrats to the entrants, it looks like everyone got some kind of prize, and I hope this isn't all from TON poker... maybe they should have some regular freeroll game with smaller prizes.

iv4n my man, you gave us a tough fight and you don't even know it.
You have been allin like 6 or 7 times when we were like 4 people, 3 get into the money, haha.
For some reason you survived all the hands and if you won that final allin vs a guy that blinded out while waiting for you to bust you would have made the money and eliminated him, but he caught a 3 outer and eliminated you, hahaha.

That was so strange, you won't believe it if you didn't witness it yourself.

And you are right, it could have caught more traction, that's true.

        -   It's great, congrats to you, mate. I'm tempted to try that game because, when I read this topic, I still felt doubt, but according to what I read,
it seems that people are enjoying it even if they don't win the game.

And then I also noticed that the development that is happening at the moment in Telegram also seems to be improving; in fairness, its innovation is really quite unique at the moment, and the impression of the crypto community is good.

It's still a success for me since it has proven that they're true to their words upon hosting this event and the participants have proven that. Well, you have the point about it that only few participated but IMO, the success of it should be credited to them as the participants have testified that it's done well.

There are still a lot of things to be done but at least that's the first event(?) that they've hosted here.

Hopefully, it will be followed by another one and continuous with some twists with the prizes to gather more attention.

On top of that, this is a freeroll so basically free money to anyone that dedicate like 30 minutes of their time to play decent poker. On the first place, there isnt really that many people around here that play poker though so yeah I guess in general poker site isnt getting that much attention

Speaking of poker, its been a while since we had our last bitcointalk poker huh. I really wish that we could really throw another one again. Basically making it an annually tournament would be nice but yeah there isnt really any site that would sponsor this I guess

Hello and congratulations mate , may we know or where to find those the winners and the prizes attached mate ? at first I doubt this event but since you have confirmation here sounds good .

to the team congratulations for this first event , hope you will have more events for Bitcointalk users and for your players exclusively .

Well, it's not so strange... I have also played some games where the "inactive player" got ITM. I have witnessed this many times, a passive player can survive many all-ins. I don't like that this time I was the "inactive player", unfortunately, I couldn't avoid my work obligations. I hope that we will have a chance to meet again at some poker table. :)


Same here, I would also like to play more tournaments with people from here. We had a great time and many great games... Maybe that will come true for us one day, who knows?

This game should have got more attention, but unfortunately, it didn't. We will see what the next steps are for the TON poker team, however, if they want an active poker site they need to invest in it! To attract people they need to have tournaments with guaranteed prizes (GTDs), free rolls, special promotions, and bonuses. Without all that I doubt they will be able to create anything that can come close to some Fiat poker sites.

Really want to join that free poker tournament exclusively for the Bitcointalk community, but I can't join because I can't access the registration link. Is it true that 17 registered and only 5 managed to continue in the tournament? Does this mean those 5 who managed to play are guaranteed a prize? How is the $100 prize pool distributed?

Anyway, congrats to the winner who managed to withdraw their winnings with the strange TRX transaction fee. lol As far as I know, TRX transaction fees shouldn't be as high as 3$, as others have stated here.

yes mate because what i do believe poker lover cannot feel the intensity and the excitement
playing Online not like in real house where they are dealing with banker and other player face to face .
so this is why poker in this area gains no much attention and support comparing to luck based
games like slots and roulettes that has more gamblers talking and joining tournaments.

we have good poker players here in bitcointalk but not that much as we can see in real casino
but the support of each tournament here gains more players and partaker.

Can someone please tell me more about the telegram wallet?

1. I want to know if the wallet gives new users any private keys or recovery seeds.

2. I also want to know if you lost your mobile wallet that you use to register the telegram you also lost access to the wallet?

Because if mobile numbers is the only backup for every telegram users then it is a dumb thing to trust, many people will lose their assets when attackers see that many people are using Ton assets.

Also the attacks will be much easier compared to crypto wallets with private keys and recovery seeds.

That's actually a great question and one of my concerns as well, the phone number part.
I have 3 tg accounts, 1 private, 1 for crypto/forum related stuff and one for gambling channels and so on. Only one number is actually my number, the rest are old inactive numbers and I wouldn't be able to recover these accounts.

There should be at least an email or something be possible to add to the tonpoker account, that would at least make it possible to recover the account somehow, hopefully.

There were really few active players for one reason or another. However, I would say that the number of active and registered users in the freeroll was comparable to the average number of users sitting on cash tables in this poker bot. As for the prize pool distribution, there were only 3 prizes in this freeroll. The first place prize was 50 usdt, the second place prize was 30 usdt, and the third place prize was 20 usdt.

Its always good to have multiple recovery option. But TG itself uses mobile number sending code there to confirm account and that is their main feature. I think using mobile number to create account is far better than with email id as even if we lost our mobile we can always regain same number sim from telecom.

I played free tourneys with the real prize long ago, i think about 10 years, but if i remember correct - it was about 50-70 players every game and the prize was about $10-$20 for all.
I understand that it is just beginning and i wish you good luck, but i see only one reason why someone will play in the messenger - just to test how it works.

Freerolls with prize pools of $10-20 are now unlikely to interest anyone, even newbies without a bankroll are unlikely to be interested. At least because popular poker rooms sometimes hold freerolls with prize pools of several thousand and even tens of thousands of dollars. For example, back in late 2022/early 2023, WPN often held special freerolls with such large prize pools.

was also interested to know about the distribution though there is number 1 winner claim meaning there will be number 2 and so on?
and also wondering why there are only 17 users who registered with how many accounts we have here in bitcointalk.


congrats as well, hope to participate in the next round .

The poker marketshare has been pretty dried up with all those top poker networks claiming most of the marketshare so if you established a new site completely unrelated to all those top poker then be prepared for it. Not to mention that poker has always been like a step siblings on bitcointalk, its there but it will never get any attention like the others so yeah 17 registered with only 5 showing up sounds about the right number to represent poker marketshare in bitcointalk

It is fast enough and there are lots of "alliners" in such freerolls. I opened 3-4 tournaments  the same time and played the table with strong cards. It was easy enough to move to last table at least. So, it was normal result to get 1-2 prizes for 2 hours. If i lost one freeroll, it was easy to start new. One session was about 3-4 hours and i`ve got about $10-$50 for it. I don`t know how it works today, i don`t ready to spend so much time for such sums.

Yeah, This is also the reason why I have withdrawn the reward immediately because I have been participating in different new dapps using my telegram. I don't have a clue if those dapps can access my account and wallet.

Overall, if a freeroll has a low prize pool and the blind structure is too stretched out, then it really isn't worth your time. But, for example, in the case of the TonPoker freeroll, the prize pool was small and its blinds structure was even too fast, so the tournament ended very quickly and didn't take long.

Oh come on, its 'freeroll' and not some money making website. Its meant to test the site, testing how it works on actual tournament basis so yeah the freerolls have served their purposes although the prizepools are not that big. You cant really expect a site to burn their money to increase the prizepool of the freerolls because they are here to make money, not the other way around

On top of that, I've written this before that poker market share in this forum is pretty small so dont get your hopes up

It is good for freeroll. But in this situation i think that it was not lots of players. Freerolls, i was talking about was about hundred gamblers.
So i think lets wait some time. May be such kind of poker will finds it fans. But as for me - i`m not ready to try it yet.
