Casino elements appear in Telegram beta version
The beta version of Telegram has introduced an interactive mini-game platform featuring gambling mechanics, including bets, deposits, and rewards denominated in TON cryptocurrency. This feature is currently being tested on a limited group of users and is integrated directly within the app, facilitating easy access to gambling games.

The platform, named Emoji Stake Beta, offers a polished interface with multipliers ranging from x1.5 to x6.0. Users can play without leaving Telegram, opening new possibilities for combining gaming and cryptocurrency services within the messenger. At present, this is still in the testing phase with a small audience.
Overall, this suggests that by 2026 users might risk losing funds through an integrated Telegram casino, potentially changing how time is spent in the app and raising concerns about responsible gaming and user safety.
