I haven't seen any Gamblig Platform who used Telegram for Promotions, most I know is that they use Discord.
Do you have any Idea why they don't have any Telegram Communities? and why does it seem they don't use this platform for their promotions?

Maybe because Discord provides better experience, it is more forum-like with various channels while telegram is more hectic with everyone talking in the same channel. That is just my guess, as I prefer Discord over Telegram and I find it superior.

Telegram is a mess. Discord is more organized with all the different channels for each topic to be discussed.
Telegram is good if you're planning to build a community of hunters and Discord is for the pro/gamers I guess?

and by the way, there are also gambling sites with both telegram and Discord such as Gamdom.

I personally do not see the need for these channels because most, if not all, casinos already have their own chatbox.

They don't have telegram communities maybe because it's not effective to use this platform for their gambling promotions. And they use discord because most gamblers prefer to use it compare to the telegram.  I think these are one of the reason why they don't prefer Telegram.

Telegram is now so bad that many scammers have come so that the discussion is irrelevant what is being said, but Discord users can know what to discuss. Everyone understands about the gambling platforms that are promoted there so much safer there than scamer.

I know that there is rarely a discussion in telegram but there are still many communities on telegram but they can't make any money from the promotion and it can mess up what is planned in the marketing.

Telegram is just a chat that all of the users chat there together and your question will be buried by the answers and questions given by everyone unlike in Dischord, they have categories of where a question is designated. If you wanna talk about the platform in general they do have #general channel for the platform. If you wanna check jobs available there are also #hiring or #jobs there in Dischord.  You simply just know where your inquiries should be for the discussions to be organized.

Probably there are more reason... few person use telegram (it requires your real phone number) meanwhile you can join easily discord.
Programming a new bot in telegram requires time and effort, and it's no more then a bot that reply to simple programmed questions.
Last but not least in telegram there are a lot of scammers and scam activities , it's very easy for an user join the wrong channel... and no one want get a bad reputation.

I guess it depends. Some have promotion on telegram as well. For instance, sportbet.one is very active in telegram. Nevertheless, gamblers prefer to use discord for communicating while playing games most of the times and that's the possible reason I guess.

To be honest there are scammers on Discord too, but not as many as on telegram. Telegram is really something else when it comes to that.

There are few many sites which use telegram platform. Stake and primedice both have telegram channel for it's VIP user where the give update about various promotion and bonuses. Bitsler also have a telegram channel. I remember there are more sites with telegram channel like ParaDice, WinDice, DuckDice, tower.bet etc. DuckDice.io and VipGame.io also have telegram chat group for their user.

There are some disadvantages of telegram chat group. You might know that people use scam attempt through telegram private message. And it's too much nowadays. I have seen scammer sent same message to many member of a casino group, I have faced it too. Maybe for this all site doesn't like to use telegram.

Discord is the place where gamers meet, and I see Gambling fit this niche very well.
I personally like Telegram to receive communications and chat with friends, just. I hate Telegram and WhatsApp groups, I have them all mute (don't notify).

Discord is different... I access it whenever I want and read whatever I want because it's all organized and separate.

I believe that this is the same thinking of gambling platform.

For me what I've seen in Discord is it's much more organized rather than the telegram in Discord you can create sections for different topics maybe for Casino section, Sports betting section, Support section, Announcement section, etc. but imagine it in telegram all of the topics is combined in just one section and it's really a mess.

The telegram community is the best way how to promote gambling sites or find referrals in large numbers, so far I am active in several projects both ICOs that require looking for referrals to airdrops. Almost every day I promote in the telegram community and I have a telegram with a number of members of more than 2k people, of course a large enough number if you want to get referrals and be a place to promote both gambling sites or other sites. It is better to build a telegram community because in the future many bounties and other systems will pay to place advertisements on your telegram community account. Especially with betting sites that have very large prizes when you get referrals and regularly make deposits at any time, imagine if there is a site that dares to give up to 10% of your total referral deposit and has 10 referrals is enough for gambling capital.

I tried both, hated both. They suck.

Discord was a little bit better but in the end I uninstalled/removed both and never looked back.

Telegram and discord may be required by the gambling platform community to discuss various problem they experience on the site. But in my opinion, both of them cant be used as effective promotional media because they can be used as a forum for discussion and not infrequently it just ends up with lot of spam and endless discussion. There are many other suitable and effective media for promotion, such as twitter, facebook and another bitcointalk forum. There are a lot of crypto communities using this medium, and I think they would also be interested in gambling on the platform if they got ads from trusted sites (if they were gambler).

I don't use telegram or discord to discuss anything about gambling, I am more interested in using the bitcointalk.org forum to discuss something if there is a problem because the forum has a wide community about crypto-based gambling. This is just my opinion, it can still be wrong.

aside from a lot of scammers in the telegram wherein if you post something about your concern in casino the telegram is not organized as discord. i think only community projects only uses telegram but honestly discord is much better.

pretty much all tron and eos based casinos run promotions on telegram , chips had several promotions for their telegram group so it's not a general thing at all
I rarely join casino communities groups but I have joined several ones in telegram and the numbers of active people are really big , I think the majority are using telegram these days TBH

^ I agree with this. Probably vast of the majority in gambling websites promotions using telegram. I admit to myself that discord will better than telegram but the easiest way to use and handle community is a telegram. Probably OP recently used gambling sites are using discord but as I know, most commonly are in telegram. Nevertheless, some gambling sites are having their own forum, not in social media telegram and discord.

Telegram is just way out there. You have a main channel, then you have another channel linked from that main channel. It's hard to follow updates on those kinds of messaging rooms since it is highly-unorganized. Whereas on discord, you will have a dedicated server AND channels depending on your liking, so discussions, announcements and promotions would be easier to follow and messages are less likely to clutter in different places where they shouldn't be. Discord's organization on almost everything is, IMO, what makes it likeable and preferable for advertisement managers of crypto gambling platforms and crypto-related services in general.

Didn't know that casino uses telegram or discord to promote their website. Well maybe I just don't take focus on their social media platforms since I'm more into the game on their platform.

Trying to compare Discord and Telegram then you can really able to say that Discord is much better than telegram.

Pros of Discord:

Easy to use
Voice Chat
Mobile Friendly
Customizable notifications on per channel basis
Easy Server Setup and joining system
Video Call Conference/Video call meeting

Telegram:

Lightweight
Unlimited History
Great bot API

Gambling site owners do find Discord platform is a better choice for them.

Probably because it is not popular? At least over here rarely people use telegram. They are more into snapchat or whatsapp (thought whatsapp is declining in popularity). I haven't used telegram myself, so I don't know how it works or looks like. But discord channels can be easily modified. There is range of customization that makes tasks easier and more clean. Like you can even create your own scripts/bots and run it on the server.
I would say its more easier and cleaner to use discord for which everyone prefers using discord over telegram for promotion.

afaik, there are scammers arohnd the discord app too,..

---

Hmm am really not sure about that popularity.Or maybe you're right about it, maybe I'm just bein fooled by numbers with fae users (bots)

True, I think they in order to maximize promotion they should use both platform or even more to reach more users.
Although I prefer telegram due to it's easy to understand interface and I think most of the users here are using it.
Unlike discord which I really find hard to understand at first and for some users who are not into technology would likely hard to use it.

I have seen a few casinos with Telegram channels, like Betnomi. It is great for basic support purposes. Discord seems to be the preferred platform because it's multi-platform. You can use it as a desktop app, on mobile devices and in your web browser. Telegram can be used on desktop but I would estimate that over 90% of their users are on mobile devices only.

I can't say telegram is popular since it got more number of users compare to discord, hell I can make 10 telegram with my sim cards... But discord is underrated form of communication, I even suggested discord for online learnings yet they chose zoom meeting which consumes more data. I think it will just depend on the handling team of any casino,  but having a discord channel will give a better experience for their every user.

They do it in every possible way that there are gamblers who can actually see their promotions. I've seen casinos that have Telegram communities and they are adopting to the likes of their gamblers. For some, it's easier to use Telegram and for others discord is the other thing. It do really depends to the demand of their customers, if they've assessed that there are plenty of users who would like to communicate them with the other messaging app, they will adopt. As much as they'll give customer satisfaction, they'll cater the demand of their users.

Tested out myself when it comes to data consumption which Discord is much better option than with zoom.Its also newbie friendly yet it isnt really that too
technical for you to have a hard time to understand plus it does have lots of features if you intend to discover even more.Telegram had been known
by vast majority due to simple functionality when it comes to messaging but nothing beats out when it comes to design or on how things had been programmed.
Both can have that gambling thing on the platform but we can tell the difference on which one do looks better and into its implementation.
No doubt that most of businesses out there will much prefer on using Discord over telegram or any other messaging apps.

But if you want to make an announcement on Telegram like a promotion you can pin your message, this feature is generally used for that.

Man, there enough casinos in Telegram. At least they often ask me for commercial (i reject such type of ads due to my own principles) but yeah, mostly they are from Russia and such countries.

Telegram have it own cons, like it don't have indexing in Google (and Discord has as i know) so it's not good to promote someone their, at least you can find better places for mass promotion.

Especially if we are talking about casinos (Telegram famous for it's middle class auditory and such people will not play at casino).

One of the reason I can think of is telegram is very much associated with ICO and airdrops and Discord is very much strict than Telegram, Telegram is scam infested because people can easily change their username, delete conversation and imitate other people there are old gambling sites that started with discord and these new gambling sites just follow the industry practice .

Hey, man, read above  :)
The real reason is because Telegram isn't indexing in Google (as it said above). Also, every promotion is connected not to telegram usernames, rather to casino own nicknames. And you can try to cheat it in both in Telegram or Discord.

I am not sure if this is considered as a promotion but I remember when stake.com using telegram for their signature campaign and for their website. I remember there were posts that show if they have events, live streams going on or event results, etc... if stake.com has them I would assume other gambling sites has it too. but I guess their telegram community is so small that we don't hear or gain much attention here in the forum

LoL, isn't Zoom for private meetings? Is it also open for publicity just like the Discord? I haven't known it can be used like that, Am currently using Zoom.but only for private meetings just like when you're using Google meet.

Thanks for enlightening me on the subject Johnny, I am active on telegram because of my association with Cryptocurrency projects and only one invited me to one gambling casino group when there are hundreds of online casinos, I may add maybe it's on the niche Cryptocurrency projects have telegram and gambling sites have Discord.

And most of the gambling sites have their own internal chat channel I prefer to have my time there.

I agree with SyGambler there are casinos that makes use of telegram for promotions. I also open telegram once or twice a week just so I don't miss out on the recent casino promotions they put up. I haven't seen casinos that use discord though or maybe that's just me not playing on different casinos recently. For community discussions I enjoy using discord than telegram since you can use custom emotes from other servers.

Telegram is good as a channel which can be used to announce the new promos or updates. Discord has been the home for gamers for a long time but now many gamblers have preferences about more organized forum type social media which covered better in Discord groups. At least not messy compared to Telegram.

For me we can't see gambling sites that uses telegram because Discord has just a lot more to offer compared to telegram. Plus me personally I find Discord way easier to use compared to telegram. Discord is way more appealing compared to telegram in most peoples eyes so maybe that's one of the reason why most websites uses discord over telegram.

Stake.com has a telegram channel wherein they addressed here the events, issues and some promotions such as free giveaways. Well, I think it is way better than to post updates in discord than telegram because there are many scammers around telegram. In short, telegram community is more toxic than discord community. However, for good promotions. I think they have to consider the fact that they can attract more gamblers if they have a lot of social media sites. As we all know that telegram is one of the famous channel for promotions of products and services. Well, aside from that telegram has good bots but the people around it are too scary as there are many scammers who copied the name of admin just to scam the potential players.

I don't have any idea about that. But what I've seen about Telegram is Telegram has a lot of community. Often, Telegram has been used for abusing other people, and in the end, people get scam by using Telegram. The owner doesn't want to know that people will think that the gambling owner will scam them, so they decide to use Discord or other social media. Perhaps that is the reason why the gambling platform doesn't use Telegram to promote.

If I were the owner, I would not use a platform used to trick people because that will give a bad name to my company. There are many ways the gambling owner to promote his gambling website. But I guess Stake.com already used Telegram to promote their programs or new update related to their website in their Telegram channel. Perhaps, the gambling owner only uses the Telegram channel for their private members and does not share their public channel.

If it's about communication most of the gambling sites already have a chat board of their own and they have a very active discussion thread telegram is very popular on Cryptocurrency but there are also a lot of scammers and spammers here in the telegram, the admin of the telegram channel will not want to see a user bearing the name of the coin he is promoting, because some bounty hunters are using he name of the project they promote as part of bounty campaign.

actually there is one that becoming more popular now mate and that is Earnbet

https://earnbet.io/

In which they have telegram Group and continues to grow community
Their telegram group is

t.me/earnbetcasino

maybe you should try visiting their Group and see how active their telegram community and the players as well.

Telegram is full of spam mostly with forwarded messages so it may take more effort for the moderators to keep the chat on topic.Where as Discord it offers lot of features which isn't available in telegram.

on telegram you can make a channel that is not chat enabled , its seperate from a channel where you can chat to ask question.  that is to avoid spam , they make one of that only for announcements of thier new promotions and site changes like what other gambling sites did . they have discord channel/group as well for those that dont use telegram  .

the one that i know that have active telegeram promotion is windice  . the site was also promoted on social media and on emails not just on telegram  .

In my experience as a Mod, it doesn't take too much effort to handle all the spams especially if you have a bot under your group, the only thing that gives you a hard time is when you're flooded with complaints or repeated questions, besides as I see from the users in Telegram they don't bother reading pinned posts as well as the faqs that has been made available by the certain company

Another possible reason would probably be the fact that Telegram are associated often with previous scams. They knew that there are high tendencies for prospective customers to avoid visiting it due to the bad impression. Its image are already tarnished thus promoters find a better and cleaner place (which is Discord in this case) to promote their platform. I might be wrong tho, but if you will ask me I can feel such thing somehow :D.

Yes it is possible to clear the spams but the real difference os every thing about the promotion,casino, questions, promotions,etc will be on the single channel but on a discord you can create different threads for each so it will diverse lot of things and spams into one general chat sections so promotion may not be affected.

Absolutely, lots of scammers in telegram now, it's not a good platform for a gambling group. I think most sites already have a chat option, that would already make people enjoy chatting while gambling so telegram is not necessary anymore IMO.

You have a point, the scam associated with telegram made it not be use by most gambling companies, we all know what is going on with that social media, a place where anyone can be impersonated without action on the part of the social media. Discord is known with it decent environment and with less scam becasue scammers has already infiltrated the social media too. Discord is more well organize than that of telegram IMO.

Gamblers are more comfortable chatting in the internal chatting channel while playing because the username in the gambling site and on the chat channel are the same, and some gambling sites do not need outside channel this is to avoid confusion they can easily trace the account of the username on their platform.

As far As I know, there are still gambling platforms that use telegram groups where they update the users and offer bonuses. Just like vipgame and Roobet I’m in this group and active as a member. Also, there are some users who prefer telegram than discord so still depends on the gambling platform where they could engage more users.

Yes i see that roobet has a telegram channel and its really good with 10k subs,for me telegram is much better i dont know why,and better looking then discord.
But more users prefer discord for some reason,i personally use telegram for my projects and businesses.

I don't know why most casinos prefer Discord to Telegram, but for the big Poker Casino I know that it's much easier for them to provide support for players. It's similar to the live chat help on casino website, but they can pin and highlight messages much easier. With Discord there is the way to make many different sub channels. So managing a lot of different users is fairly easy on discord with only 1-2 community managers. I am not sure about telegram and how you can manage a lot of people there.

For a reason that its easy to pretend to be an admin using telegram channel . if they ask for a problem there are scammer that will pretending to help you but they are on copying the name of the real admin which in the end will ask you to deposit money.

For discord most gamers using discord so for me its better to use that  than in telegram and its hard to fake your I'd there because its not that easy to create an acoount unlike in telegram that you can easily make many account any time you want.

While Telegram and Discord seem equally popular by the number of users, it's not hard to see that Telegram users are largely people from former Soviet Union (and there's also a strong Indian community and Arabic-speaking community, I guess). These don't happen to be the places with the most active gamblers. Discord, on the other hand, is most popular in the US with Western European countries being close runner-ups. So the languages and the geography is quite different. Apart from this, Telegram tends to be a platform for personal communications and for politics (like the Belarusian protests relying largely on Telegram), while Discord, as has been pointed out, is a gamers' community. So I guess gambling is naturally closer to Discord than to Telegram by areas, users and usage.

Scammers are everywhere, even what messaging platform we are using. For me, if the reasons are about scammer why they don't use either of these two, it really not make sense.
Btw, the major advantage of discord for me is being organized, just like what @Bttzed03 said, in discord, you can create multiple rooms or channel within a discord channel.

With the current standing of Telegram and it seems they double down in not caring at all that they are a cesspool of scammers. Discord is not that saint but at the very least scams are not prevalent there. Discord is also a gaming chat room so they are a little more immerse than Telegram.

There are some advantages and disadvantages when it comes to both platforms. Ideally, announcements and updates come easy to Telegram because of the Channel Option, in which subscribers could easily view the new articles that have been published by their site. On the other hand, Discord is more organized to make multiple areas for different topics under one channel, with the capability of assigning more flexible administrative privileges, etc.

For the gambling community, I think it's best to be in Discord because they could just join one channel and be part of their interest. Maybe that game they like to play, etc.

Yeah I know, scammers are existing and can't be eradicate already in the cyber space. I also agree on the part where Discord is more user-friendly compared to Telegram, no doubt about it. I'm just trying to think other factors to be considered why it wasn't preferred by the majority and it just so happened that idea popped up on my mind :).

If it doesn't make sense for you then I try to give another example. Hmm, if you will choose between Iphone and Huawei smartphones, what would you choose? Most probably you will go with the first one not only because it was more fancy, organized and complete but mainly because Huawei got an accusation of stealing our data. See? The reputation of a certain platfrom matters a lot. In all aspects, the least secured or let's say the most toxic places are least prioritized by the promoters of course.

It is simple because Discord offers features which are richer compared to Telegram.Personally I don’t use Discord and I love Telegram however Telegram is effective mostly in one to one communications or one to many at best.
Telegram has shown for the few casinos who started it that is not effective as they predicted and now almost all casinos use Discord.

I think it is a good choice that they choose Discord over Telegram for me Telegram is full of bots and fake number of communities.
They would easily be flooded with bots and I think Discord is more organized than Telegram.

I also notice that but do they need that they already have a channel of their own inside their platform, and if they want an update they will just send newsletter to their members, Discord is good it was created for gamers and since some gambling have sports betting in their platform they prefer using Discord then Telegram.

In discord we can put many sub topic in just one channel, usually gamers use discord. I only use discord too for gaming purposes as its easy to use due to its sub topic functions that can make the channel more organized. While in telegram it is used mainly for announcement and mostly bot chats and Off Topic discussions, it's too hard to sort or search in telegram as it's a one thread with no subtopic options.

Discord is really great for social communication between the two Discord offers the best user experience, so why they will have to choose Telegram when every good features are on Discord, it's only those Crypto currency ICO offer telegram it's because they are also using telegram for their campaign and besides telegram has a lot of spammers.

I am sure it is possible that the gambling platforms chose Discord over telegram, because the telegram platform has a lot of scam activities.
So the owners of gambling platforms weren't comfortable promoting on telegram. Besides, the channels on Discord are much more organized.
That's what gambling platforms really need today. Very different from telegram which is very messy and not well organized.

that is the same as platforns choose twitter over facebook  because facebook are too crowded over twitter which is more controllable   .

 on discord its hard for the spam to penetrate because its not easy to join a channel unless you are invited over the link and you join it willingly but telegram is not like this , you will only be surprise that you are now on a channel with full of spam replies but not all of them are like that but there are still few channels that are nice to check out because they are clean .

I'd stick with online casinos chatboxes rather than go to Telegram. It is great to use if you are just sending texts or messages to your loved ones or your friends but if we will be talking about promotions, I will go with Discord. Usually, gamers use this application since it is really convinient for them, they could even make a bot for gambling or other games too, Discord is just too popular nowadays.

Telegram is not as good as discord if you want to provide a better experience and professional environment. As you can see, you can create many different channels and group chat for gamblers to discord and resolve various types of problems. Telegram is used only for an organization to inform their business, roadmap, etc. It's a real jumble using telegram for gambling. Instead of Telegram, I believe gamblers like us would rather using an add-in chat box directly on the gambling website

They worked on Discord which is more effective compare to Telegram, though some gambling site have their Telegram account but I think its just an announcement page, if you really want to socialize with the other players you can do it on the chat box, but personally I prefer to gamble all by myself and I can get notified on social media accounts of the gambling site if I need something from them.

The only reason I see is that,

Discord is mainly being used to chat or voice by gamers. Since gambling is also a type of game, their target market is perfectly on discord. It means that they have more possibilities to gather more possible gamblers. Unlike in telegram wherein it was being used most for messaging or promotion which is outside the gambling community.

We don't know but there can be countless reasons.

-They can communicate p2p with potential clients, telegram is something that not all users have downloaded already.
-They believe it's not better to use telegram since they don't trust the users there or might have other issues.
-at the same time in discord there are genuine players, players who care about the gaming and such therefore better option for them
-personal preference
- maybe they know something that we don't??? Something about marketing ?? If the business is blooming I do think that these gambling companies are finding good people to work with.

It doesn't matter where you can advertise , what matters is , if it's working out for you, your company and what are the stats ??

If they keep using that for years , then I do believe that it's good for them. There are even many fake users and scams on telegram.

It depends on the gambling platform, but most of them use discord because it had subchannel function where its easy to navigate to different channel topics unlike telegram very disorganised and with bunch of spammers and scammers a very messy platform reminds me of slack.

I think the average gambling site avoids excessive spam on telegram...
I see discord is much cleaner than telegram. Telegram is very easy to penetrate scammer and does not have good filtering when compared to discord.

This is one of the reason why I hate telegram as well, there’s a lot of fake people on this platform and its good that most of the Gambling site don’t have this one or else they’ll suffer from the fake people. Discord is a great channel to communicate, actually some gambling site enables their chat room so it can also be the safest place to communicate to the admin.

There must be a strong reason why gambling platforms don't use telegram for promotion. Maybe the members guess is right,
that telegram platform a lot of scams activity. So they afraid it will have a negative effect on gambling platforms, if they force
a promotion on the telegram platform. Compared to Discord which has less scams activity, then the target market on Discord is
more suitable for gambling platforms too. As we know many Discord users are gamers, gambling platforms that include games
will be better promoted on Discord.

I agree.

Telegram uses too many spams and not all of the users there that's been in a group of a certain gambling sites are not active at all, there are some but only few. I guess that's
also the reason why they don't have any telegram because that would be another expenses to hire a manager that would manage their telegram channel that only few people are interested on asking what's going on and what's new to their gambling sites.

While in Discord have so many features and already being used even in academic purposes especially in this time of pandemic, and just like what others said, it's pretty much organized than telegram and more professional to use.

There was a link given to me Via telegram and it is about  a Platform(casino site) Earnbet in which according to my research started as EOSBet recently.

and supposed to be given dividend to their Token holders i don't know if they continuing the system up to now.Thats why OP is asking,and if you read the topic you will not answer stupid things like this.

Before gambling platforms use social media to promote their site or event or offers something, they will search for the best way to promote. And as they see what is happens with a Telegram, they decide not to use Telegram because they don't want to have a negative effect on the site. But if they can use Telegram or Discord properly, they don't want to be afraid to use both platforms to promote their programs or give their members offers. Perhaps, they can set their channel to private, so only their members can join with them. That can prevent the scam, which can happen in the future.

Personally I like using discord much better.  Telegram is kind of a messy platform and there's a whole lot of scammers flying in with random bs and messages that you just don't get on discord.  It's also probably due to the fact that Discord provides some sort of encryption that I believe is thought to be strong than telegrams.  

Telegram is a home for scams and whatnots that would probably prevent them from actually being a community, PLUS there are a LOT of people who don't know much about telegram, which makes them prone to actually being scammed by others, which one way or another, leads to the implication of the casinos those scammers impersonate. Add that to how much organized you can actually be with discord compared to telegram, anyone would clearly choose discord over telegram. Social media is also used although that's mostly for admins to actually put out announcements, compared to discord where the community can interact with each other.

Another reason I prefer Discord.

Discord also have these rooms, each room has their own topics to talk about that is why it is better since it is like this forum where you could talk about that kind of topic in a room. Each has their own voice room and even music room if you wanted to.

Discord is better and it's build for players and gamers and gambling sites has a lot of gamer members I like Discord features better than Telegram because you can create sub topics and sub categories, and besides telegram is very much associated to Cryptocurrency projects.

I agree that more scammers use telegram than discord probably. Which doesn't mean that I didn't experience some scammers on Discord too. There are plenty of scammers looking for quick money in the betting and gambling world of esports skins. In particular in CSGO items there I have been approached by a lot of people - mostly via Steam first, but they instantly wan't to talk about a very special trade deal on Discord. In the end it's always a scam. No one is giving away free skins. In the beginning I used to play along just so the scammer would waste some time, and wasn't able to scam someone else. But after years with trading CSGO knifes it just got boring. I find it sad that there still so many scammers out there.

Telegram is mostly use for new project that want to have easy communication to its community using thier channel or groups its can also help them to advertise their project by having that channel . while  only few gambling sites use telegram as terms of communication. most of them prefer discord since thats the right Channel or social platform for any game developer or  games players that want to talk something about the game.

Maybe telegram is not as organized as discord but remember that almost all of the crypto currencies coins and projects have their presence on telegram too. If they can promote their project on telegram, gambling sites can also consider this. In this online world, no platform should be ignored and promotion on telegram can also bring new business for many gambling sites as they will reach to more audience.

Because let's just say it's traditional way used for communication that's why many choose to have that options for communication purposes, but somehow maybe it's best to move on telegram promotions since I think it will be a waste of money. Many users avoid that platform in terms of promotion since many phising attempts goes there as well scamming is so rampant, so best to spend the money wisely and target where the real audience is.

Wolf.bet had promotion on telegram and twitter. I don't see they run their twitter promotion for over a week or more, so maybe they stopped with telegram promotion too! I don't use telegram often, I agree with others who think that telegram is a real mess! Even thou I tried some promotions here and there, I don't remember I won some promo with cash prize. I had luck with some casinos that have slots and give free spins, and of course it's just a temporary fun, it's hard to make some money with 20-30 free spins and wager them x40!

I am an active user of discord and I find it so comfortable using it compared to the telegram, discord has so many channels that you can use for discussion it is also good for the communication of every gamer, and besides there are many scammers that you may encounter on telegram but there are still some websites and projects that are still using telegram for promotion because there are still many users of that application.

As I can see, discord is more customizable than telegram, in addition, you can not just communicate in discord but also interact with the platform. I have seen some discord gambling casino group that has games inside of the discord. You can also run scripts on telegram but it doesn't fit the needs of a casino community of having different channels for every discussion. Imagine a casino having many games, each of the games should be supervised and maintained and that could be then more efficiently through discord compared to Telegram which is for me, more highly effective in building a project's community.

When you said "almost all", you mean the 90% of cryptocurrencies that are shitcoins? Who cares about them? I'm fairly certain gambling platforms don't target members of these telegram groups who are mostly composed of bounty hunters. We are talking about a platform looking for crypto enthusiasts who will actually spend money in gambling (not just freeloaders).

In terms of promotions, I don't see a big difference as I saw both platforms are being used. I don't see an accurate stats yet wherein one is more effective over one and vice-versa so overall, our judgement is based on our own view.

But in terms of an organized community, Discord > Telegram as unlike in Telegram where all queries are discussed and mixed in a single group, Discord can create multiple channels out from a single server so that discussion is sorted out e.g there is a separate room for discussion, contest, etc. And might be a hassle for anybody or not comfortable when Telegram is asking mobile number in account creation.

I will disregard the scam thing in Telegram as promoters and marketers will target the audiences no matter how worst the platform as long as it has a big community and has lots of registered users.

No ,, he means almost all cryptocurrencies in many communities on telegram and it happens every project they will definitely be promoted on telegram even any announcement will be announced there, but I'm also not just gambling hunters but most people use telegram easier than Discord so the community is more Telegram than Discord.

There are just as many gambling fans where in any social media to discuss with other communities, therefore as long as we use it wisely, it will be better.

When it comes to situation where scams and phishing is lot then telegram platform do have lots of it and i do barely see some issues with discord in issues like this.
Its not excluded to this matter but it is more rampant in telegram due to easy way on making account without any hiccups plus it is just light and not
too complicated when it comes to design.Well, people might have that perception or even to those gambling site owners thats why they dont really consider
on having that telegram promotion.

I'm not that familiar on how Discord works because I'm more on Telegram and some gambling site also have their Telegram group but mostly I just follow them on Twitter since they also make announcement on their social accounts which can be a faster source of updates for them. Hunters don't have any choice but to follow their Social account or else they'll not be qualified for the bounty, New gambling sites are doing their best to have accounts on every social media platform.

Discord interface is user friendly and easily navigable and organized  channels  unlike telegram that have a single channel, in most cases in telegram gamblers usually ask same or similar questions which had already been answered several times by admin, the links to the answered questions has to be quoted again which sometimes causes distractions however in discord bot will the job conveniently and consistently without any problem.

Feature wise Discord has a lot to offer than Telegram, the admin of the channel can create a sub topic or category and he has full control and can restrict spammers, it started as a video gaming but now they are revising it to become an all purpose communication they have a new slogan "A place to talk" and revised their website, it's better than Telegram on many features.

Discord is a better platform for promotion since it is more convenient and it offers more feature than Telegram. There are also a lot of spammers and bots in Telegram which can easily swarm a group. Discord is user friendly and organized since they also have a bot to assist you with commands.

I think there is also its just happen that most telegram promotions are done by Bot and people in telegram are used to that so they are not interested.
and also sad to say that majority of Telegram users are Bounty hunters and not typical gamblers so the target audience is not that achievable so this maybe the reasson why they are not focusing in TG platform.
But of course there are some groups that i joined who has this features of campaigning .Same as what i think why the reason people not to tend advertising in TG,because of Bot and spammers.

Discord is more friendly and open, I much prefer to a few other platforms.   Telegram might be better for brief communication but discord is more of a community regular experience.  It could be as simple as custom emotes on discord which are possible, streaming video or sharing a screen is useful and totally simple.
It works with low effort I guess, same reason spam email wont go away.

Using discord is one of the best way to communicate to the people and they have features on discord that we don't see in telegram.
Discord now have different features and all you need is there so I think that's the reasons why the team of the gambling is using this platform to make a promotion about their gambling sites but the telegram is still good to use very helpful for us communicate with each other.

So basically, to sum it all, Discord is much better than TELEGRAM? (based on the comments here in this thread) I rarely use Discord that's why I don't know, if I happened to use it, it's because I'm playing a certain team game, I really find this platform just like Twitch.

And besides I haven't encountered that many projects that requires to use Discord, so that's also the reason why I didn't bother being a Mod there.

I think there is not much use of such discussion. People have different preferences and that is why some like mote one than the other. To my opinion both platforms are good and useful, majority has good experiences and not much objections so the only thing what one prefers and why.
Personally I like Telegram more but that doesn't mean that Discord is bad.

For gathering gamers that might be the possible players for gambling site, Yes, gamers are everywhere in discord. It is better since the majority of users of discord is gamers. Unlike in telegram, it is more on discussion which includes gaming activity.

Interface and being user-friendly, DISCORD is better than TELEGRAM.

But for promotions and marketing, I don't see both or any messaging applications as effective.

Still a good way to promote in social media platform or crypto-related forum.

Discord might be tricky for first-time users but not that difficult to learn the interface.

Telegram, on the other hand, can be learned easily as interface is not that different from another messaging app.

But for a gambling site, either by promotions or just want to have a standalone channel at each platform, they can consider having a server or group on both rather than picking on one.

When it comes to user interface, I prefer using discord because I like how smoothly it runs. And also you can create servers with it and it offers a lot of great features. Telegram is also convenient to use when sending files and communicating. I think if you only prefer a simple platform for communication you may pick telegram but if you want to have a more features to use then you should use discord. When it comes to gambling sites, I already saw a channel in telegram about all the updates in that gambling site.

I don't really think that it would have any effect on them specially those who are already doing great without the help of telegram community,
I think they see's it as an extra job so they would pay for extra person to take care of it for what? They already have a great community only the new ones would need it.
And I also think that it wouldn't really be helpful for them if they already have a social media pages to announce all of their up coming events or running events.
And also Telegram are filled with bots so even if they create a community there they could just be filled with bots promoting other project so they would need to block all those kind of message.

Through telegram a community can be built and further the promotion for the gambling site can be done. More and more Scams were taking place through telegram, maybe that can be a reason for the reduced usage of telegram on promotion needs. During the early days of gambling sites development, promotions took place through telegram. When things go advanced and convenient people will make use of it. This is how everything moved from telegram to discord.

Many of the telegram channels related to crypto are full of scammers and genuine gambling sites won't want their customers to be scammed in the name of gambling.
May be that's why they prefer discord and other platforms which provide a better user experience.
Besides that I have seen many gamers actually using discord rather than any other chatting platforms.
So discord is like a gamer's hub for chatting  :P

I have seen some gambling platform still using telegram to promote them though. But most of the platform use discord, it's right. And the reason is maybe gamers who are looking for fun discord is for them. Also maybe discord has more room to protect scam/spam and find useful user.

Depend how many gamers active forum, when have good chance with many gamer active on telegram betting site will promote their site on telegram but when getting on twitter have many gamer active for discussing there will change way to promote gambling site on twitter, the are not limit have to promote with the same social media site only always depend how gamer situation active, some time gamer look active on Facebook media social so we found many gambling site promote their link on Facebook ads, it usually happen at the same site how to promote and get their costumer.

Gambling platforms don't use it because they have marketing teams that has much better way to grow their engagement in gambling addicts through SEO, link building and stuff.
Also, Bitcointalk is all in one access to most Crypto players, because it has millions of members around the world. It would only a waste of resources, if they market it in telegram with only few users.

The only problem I noticed in telegram is that many platforms are using telegram for advert or promotion of unknown site to be known and such create avenue's for scammers to come in and to use telegram as means of getting clients, so using telegram currently as a process of promotion of any gambling platforms will seems as scamming platform from my perspective, but it's really nice for advertising via telegram because it will attracts trafficking.

Now most of the projects use telegram to promote their projects. And gambling platform teams tend to focus more on promotion in other ways than telegrams. Not all telegram channels or groups are under the control of scammers, so there is an opportunity to do something good using telegram. There are a lot of projects that buy subscribers to make their community bigger, but I don't think they get any additional benefits from this activity.

So if you can manage telegram in the right way, telegram promotion is also a very effective way.

See, I did not condemned the telegram social media but its obvious that the channel currently are made up of scammers because thousands of people has been dupes via telegram adverts, even some ponzi scheme platform's uses telegram to promote their platforms, so the chance of been know as a sincere platform via telegram promotion is high, due to people who fall victims of been dupes through the channel can't compromise or believe to any site promoted through telegram.

In discord it is much easier, you only need swipe to the right if you need to see the channel or groups instantly, and some website I think they use discord to communicate since I think is far more secure, I've heard it to someone I forgot the name. And as you can see some live stream games uses discord, that's why it is far more good than telegram, you may use discord because of its unique feature than telegram.

True. Telegrams have been used a lot by scammers to scam people. People have fallen into the trap of scammers after seeing tempting offers. I have exopse many scams that were promoted using telegrams. So now people don't want to believe any offer that is advertised in the telegram, you have already analyzed the reasons. I think gambling platforms will focus more on all other ways of promotion without giving priority to telegrams.

I think that Telegram has a bad reputation, especially on this forum, for being a place for scams to take place.  Its too easy for impersonators to steal from innocent and vulnerable people.

In fact, everything is very simple, most of the crypto industry developers began to communicate and still communicate through Discord. That's why support chat rooms are created there, followed by public chats. The main feature of Discord is that on one server you can create a huge number of chat rooms with a breakdown from the language of communication and ending with interests.

Telegram is widely distributed among the crypto community due to the large number of advertising campaigns for new projects. In fact, this program is good for one-time promotions, Telegram is not very good for long-term use, because it is difficult to search for previously published information. For this purpose, Discord is much better suited.

I think there are a lot of gamblers that use telegram and maybe a lot of them have been accused of scams because their use is not very popular so far. Some of my friends still use telegrams for crypto gambling and because of that, I think even though it's not very popular gambling on telegram is still available and for me personally, don't know about them and just occasionally see my friends gambling with crypto there. As for discord itself, I think they are indeed a good place for promotion when compared to telegram, since discord itself is mostly used by gamers, maybe that is one of the reasons why promoting gambling is more popular on discord.

I already think the question had been answered and so users are repeating the same thing to complete their payment quota on their respective spreadsheets. Its would be good and appropriate not to spam on this thread with the same answers as already been said by users on the first page.

I think it is because discord is mainly used by gamers than telegram. Their goal is to get more players that will play in their gambling site so their best way is to promote it in a platform where gamers is using very often. And discord is what they see best that will allow them to get their target players compared to telegram.

Really people has answered the question that suit to your understanding from the page one while others are not contented with the information rendered as an answer to the topic in page one so everyone is entitled to make he / her opinions or contribution towards comments which brought us here,

I think that is really the point where the telegram have already bad reputation in terms of gambling industry because in the past I saw a lot of scam accusation via telegram. Discord is good because it is easy to access where there is a channel that is properly arranged and the user can easily search the information that they need. I recently open my telegram and I've been invited in so many scams group, it is really annoying so for me it can be also a factor. If they use telegram then they can get bad reputation especially ofr those users who experienced to got scam via telegram.

TL;DR

I am not sure about others but stake.com always offer their promotions through telegram or shall I say they announce their promotions via telegram because our weekly bonus is sent through telegram and then we have all the notifications like the daily challenges are announced via telegram only apart from the random drops that are only sent via telegram.

Yes they don't do any telegram giveaways such that they have a group or anything but that might be because if they make a community and add players people will spam each other blatantly and high rollers will have a tough life ahead of them being bugged with messages/calls and maybe even threats because everyone wants to juice money out of them.

Well, you can just PM cabalism13 and ask to lock the topic in that case but I see some different answers as well and I agree some are just completing their quota but really the basic aim of the forum is to have an open discussion and if we get too sensitive and don't discuss topics just because someone might have his quota filled through it, then that really doesn't make sense. Maybe some people who are jealous of others earning might think so and I am sure you are not among them since you also wear a signature and make posts in this section :).

Coming back to the topic there might be not many casinos offering bonuses and promotions via telegram might be because of the nature of telegram and the amount of spam that comes with each group being made and the possibility of users interacting directly and the casino might lose it's players.

That's right most of the channels and groups on Telegrams that most people are joining are for money making with ease, which are scams. Not all are scam, some are quite reputable because those channels are official channels of reputable companies. On the otherhand, most gamers prefers discord as it is easier to talk with other users. Discord is also an established gaming partner for gamers in my opinion. To wrap it up, generally, Telegram users seeks money, while Discord users seeks for entertainment.

so far the same answers has been introduced, but still there are some unique to be discussed. And I don’t seem to see it that way...
Anyways, might be a good Idea to lock this up now as we’re already on Page 7 lol.
Thanks for partcipating in this discussion.
