BCPoker Launches Telegram Mini-App for Real-Money Poker
The rollout folds crypto deposits and withdrawals into Telegram and comes with a launch promo worth up to $2,000.
BCPoker has launched a Telegram Mini-App that lets players jump straight into real-money poker inside Telegram, without a separate download or multiple registration steps. The entry point is the official @bcpoker_official_bot, and the new flow lets players open the poker room from inside the chat app.
According to PokerStrategy, the mini-app shows only the player’s Telegram username and folds BCPoker’s crypto cashier into the experience, so deposits and withdrawals can be handled directly instead of through external cashier agents. BCPoker says the goal is faster transactions and 24/7 control over funds. It also says player balances are backed 1:1 through Proof of Reserves and held separately from corporate assets.
As covered on Aug. 1, BCPoker had already rolled out a desktop client and cash-game rewards before adding Telegram. The company now says players can reach the tables through Telegram, Windows, Mac, web browser, iOS and Android. It also says its decentralized RNG system is designed to produce transparent and provably fair results on every hand.
The launch sits alongside a wider batch of product and pricing changes. BCPoker says the update also brought faster software, rakeback of up to 50%, reduced selected rake caps by up to 70%, a new CLUBS feature, a redesigned Spin & Go format, improved stability, smoother performance and multiple bug fixes. The operator also ran a Telegram launch promotion through the official bot offering players a chance to win up to $2,000.
A wider April GlobeNewswire release said BC Poker is operated by BC Poker Group and is licensed by the Anjouan Gaming Authority. It said the site supports six poker formats, from Texas Hold’em and Omaha to Short Deck (6+), Spin & Go, Sit & Go and Cash Tables, with buy-ins starting at about $1 equivalent. Webopedia says Telegram reached 1 billion monthly active users by March 2025, and describes Telegram mini-apps as lightweight web apps that run inside the platform without an external browser or download.
