Telegram may launch its own online casino: what is known

Telegram may launch its own online casino. 

The beta version of Telegram for Android has revealed testing of the Emoji Stake feature — a gaming mechanic with bets based on built-in emoji games. It cannot be called a full-fledged online casino. It is a gamified system with bets in the internal currency Stars, which could become the basis for a separate gaming vertical within Telegram.

For now, it is all in the closed playtest stage, available to a limited number of users. 

But the mention of Star Affiliate Commission also attracted attention. This means that in the future, an affiliate model with rewards for attracting players (for example, as with Mini Apps) may be introduced.
