Clinch PvP Bitcoin Solitaire -- now on Telegram!

[adamTHNDR]

Hey everybody!  This is Adam from THNDR Games again.  Today we just launched our skill-based wagering Solitaire game, Clinch, on Telegram.

If you’ve been following Telegram recently, they’ve made it possible to play games directly in the chat window. It’s become a major user acquisition / distribution outlet for gaming companies, so we’re excited to bring Bitcoin wagering games to the platform.

Now there’s no need to download an extra app or open a new window in your browser. Clinch is just a click away, right within Telegram. Rather than winning sh!tcoins like TON, you will still be able to wager and win Bitcoin, via Lightning. You can try it out directly here: https://t.me/ClinchGameBot

Posting here to get the community's feedback. Especially on the payment experience. But any and all feedback is welcome.

If interested, the full blog post and info can be found here: https://t.me/ClinchGameBot

Thank you!

Good to hear that you are on now telegram also and when it about the PvP it's more interesting.
But I saw you guys have multiple ANN thread already, You should respect the forum rules that is One thread per site ONLY. You should lock this topic and make this post on your official main ANN thread as an Update.

It is nice you have launched your telegram game which is very good. This would save the stress of browsing to play your game. I have tried the bot game via telegram but upon approval of IP I could not move any further as it keeps loading and loading without any result or popup. Could this be a restriction or what because I remember I talked about this earlier before now and there was no feedback with respect to my complaint.

Lastly, just like as Crypto Library has said you have official announcement thread. It would have been better you continue the update there than creating multiple thread for your update. I would advise you lock this thread and continue your update on your official announcement thread to avoid having any issues here.

You are welcome. Telegram is the new medium for different business activities. So many of us are aware that there games there to play. Thanks for bringing yours to the forum for notification but there are some few things you have to do in the forum but not compulsory but it is good for you to do them. You have to add images in the announcement thread, you have to buy copper member to do that. Then you also need to meet a professional manager to direct you what to do if you will like to advertise your casino for more visibility.
As I said it is not compulsory but it might be mandatory because more attraction will bring ls more viewers and testers.

I tried using this version of your service on my telegram but it seems I ran into troubles... It says your solitaire game is not available in my region for some reason 
Why is this? is people from my country or continent not allowed to play or because something within the terms of condition?

Too bad, because the bot genuinely seemed well coded and integrated with Telegram and I truly wanted to see how you guys adapted solitaire into a PVP game (when was originally conceived to be a single player game).

I hope you can reply and help me with this, Cheers.

Hey Adam! This sounds fantastic, really cool to see innovation in the Telegram space with a wagering game like Clinch. The accessibility of playing directly within Telegram is a game-changer for onboarding and engagement.

I love that you're sticking with Bitcoin via Lightning instead of other tokens; it’s great to see a focus on reliability in payouts and maintaining player interest. I’ll definitely give it a try and share my thoughts on the payment experience. Thanks for sharing, and congrats on the launch!

In their first thread they listed out the restricted countries and it was a long list. You can check to see if your country is on the list.
The op also didn't explicitly say you can use VPN services but hinted that they may be allowed.

Just go to other sites offering such game. Up until now, the trust over telegram casino/games is still low because of so many reasons - they can easily disappear, you can only trust them with small amount of money. Though you can use them if you are mobile or on the go, as the convenience is there. But I guess, if your country is in the restricted list, no need to force yourself to use this site. Much better to find reputable casinos found in the forum for this particular game. At least, you won't be worried if your funds are still safe or not.

It is great to see this kind of application implementers in telegram, but let me try to understand the business model, how do you win from this? do you get a commission for each game like the poker games? or how this is a business for you.

Is the first time i seen this way of gambling, solitaire is more a game to kill time, and is great to see that now we can make money with it, so, i will give it a try.

It would be cool to see a solitaire faucet, that would be really nice, but a PvP isn't bad at all.

Ah okey, thanks for the information I was not aware this service was aiming to certain countries and markets, I thought it wanted to seek as many gamblers as possible from all countries possible.
I would not mind I install and use a VPN to try this service, but it is pretty likely I would not deposit and wager because even thought they may have hinted they will allow people to use VPN, if the information concerning their ToS on VPN is ambiguous I would prefer not to take any chances with any quantity on money.
I will continue to see if there are other services being offered on Telegram as their main platform which allows people from my country to fully access the experience.
Anyways, sometimes one wins, sometimes one loses

Yes. They get a commission (fee) from the total prize pool for each game you play.
They call it rake and it’s a small commision they get for hosting the game. You can read more about it in their terms of service page: https://www.clinch.gg/legal/terms-and-conditions

That’s a very long list indeed. Thankfully, my country isn’t on that list but I hope they will work on this and find a way to start accepting more countries.

I think this has a lot of potential.

Getting paid directly in Bitcoin is basically an essential requirement for many people, so it should be great for them.

A question that I have is about the withdrawal mechanism. What is the minimum amount, and I guess you also provide a lightning withdrawal option as well?

It would be great to see that info on the first page you see as many people would not even start to play if they don't know the details about withdrawal.

Unfortunately in my country, this site is not available as well. For a moment I was hoping it would be different on Telegram (I don't know why), but the message is the same: Clinch is not available in your region YET. In their other thread, they wrote they are working on it...

Anyway, I am not going to turn on the VPN and bypass the restrictions either, it's not safe at all. But as I love playing Solitaire I will follow the development of Clinch and maybe at some point they will expand the list of countries that can play with them. It would be good if they speed up the work on it, it would be to their benefit...

Nice to see your game website I love this game and may be a kind of happy moment for Nigerians. It is not clear whether the Nigerian country is included in your list in this thread. I think you should turn on VPN on the web, because it will facilitate the access of online gamblers.

Like others I would like to say lock your thread and update if possible get help from HR department
