Summary of the FortuneJack and JackToken Situation (2024–2025)
In late August 2024, JackToken launched a Telegram-based game, officially promoted through the crypto casino FortuneJack. The game, accessible via
https://t.me/jacktokencom, offered free mini-games that allowed users to earn points toward a future airdrop. Their website clearly laid out a detailed roadmap, which indicated that the official token launch would take place in Q4 2024.
At first, everything appeared well-organized and legitimate.
The First Red Flag – October 2024
In October, the project introduced a new mechanic: players could buy chests using stars, which had to be purchased with real money directly through Telegram. This shift from free gameplay to paid mechanics was unexpected and controversial. The change was publicly announced in this tweet, sparking user concerns and suspicions of a bait-and-switch approach.
December Comes – But No Token Launch
According to the roadmap, the JackToken launch was supposed to happen by December. There was also supposed to be a private presale, limited to carefully selected investors and to top-ranking users who had reached the highest tier in the airdrop phase, all at a fixed price.
However, December passed with no token launch, no presale, and—most importantly—no official communication.
January 2025 – Vague Messaging and a Broken Promise
At the end of January, the team finally released a message. But it lacked any concrete explanations—just generic statements like “everything is fine” and “great things are coming soon,” with no mention of the token, presale, or roadmap progress.
Eventually, they launched a so-called presale, but it wasn’t what they had promised. Instead of a private offering, it was just a continuation of the chest-buying system used during the airdrop. There were:
No private investors,
No exclusive access,
No fixed price,
And nothing aligned with the original roadmap.
Users who had supported the project early on felt deceived and refused to continue spending. In response, the team began blaming the community, claiming the lack of support was the reason for delays—shifting the responsibility entirely onto users.
The Collapse – Silence, Bans, and a Random Slot Machine
As backlash grew, many users began voicing their complaints in the Telegram group—but instead of addressing concerns, the team started banning users for criticism.
Eventually, the team announced they were pausing the presale and claimed they were preparing a big update that would "change everything." But instead of delivering anything meaningful, they launched a random slot game called Berry, completely unrelated to the original project.
The community was outraged, confused, and increasingly convinced that this was a failed or deceptive project.
Final Statement and Disappearance – March 31, 2025
On March 31, they issued one last vague statement saying they were “still alive” and that “good things are coming soon”—another hollow promise. Around this time, the JackToken link disappeared from the FortuneJack website, and all references to the project were quietly removed.
Worse, when users contacted FortuneJack via email or live chat, they denied any involvement, even though they had clearly promoted JackToken on their site, including official videos on X and Telegram (still accessible even though the website and Telegram app have been shut down).
Scammers Profile Links:

https://www.jacktoken.com/ https://wp.jacktoken.com/ https://coinpedia.org/information/jack-token-the-future-of-crypto-gaming/ I lost around $6,000, maybe a little less. When you opened the chests, sometimes you would win actual dollars that you could withdraw. But most of the time, I reinvested those winnings back into buying more chests. I suppose they did that to make it all seem legitimate and to keep people buying more. The purchases were made through Telegram using stars in their app, which makes it really hard to track. But I do have screenshots of my purchases.
These are some of the payments. This has been a very painful scam—I spent my last savings on it. I only invested because I had been using FortuneJack’s betting platform for over a year and a half, and seeing the project promoted on their website gave me confidence.
It also happened right during the boom of Telegram-based games, so it didn’t seem suspicious at the time.
I'm not the only affected user—there are several others, and if the Telegram game forum hasn’t been shut down, you can probably still find more people there.
I find it shameful that a crypto casino of this size would do something like this and not even release a single apology or offer refunds to users. They’ve completely washed their hands of the situation.
PS: I just found the holy grail, a post in this very forum where FortuneJack himself shared the project link back in August, in case anyone had doubts.
