Branded blackjack tournaments for casino operators
Give your affiliates, or your own Telegram audience, a free-play blackjack tournament with your logo on the felt. Prizes are bonus balance at your casino, so every winner who claims one registers with you.
Two ways an operator uses the tournament
Through your affiliates. An affiliate that promotes your casino runs the tournament on its own bot and channel, with your logo on the table and your bonus balance as the prize. You give the affiliate something its audience actually wants to open every week, and every hand they play shows your brand.
For your own audience. If you already run a Telegram channel for Arab players, you can run the tournament yourself, under your own bot, and use it to bring followers into your casino.
In both cases the logic is the same. Arab players are slow to trust a casino they do not know, and the usual paid channels are restricted in most of the region. A free blackjack tournament lets players get to know your brand with nothing at stake, and the prize gives them a concrete reason to register with you.
What your brand gets
Your logo on the felt
Your logo sits on the web table, and your name appears in the tournament, so your brand is in view on every hand, on Telegram and on the web.
Prizes as bonus balance
Top ranks win a bonus balance at your casino with 1x wagering. You agree the prize table, so the budget is yours to set.
Credited from a private admin group
Your staff join the tournament's private admin group. Each winner and their email are posted there, and your team credits the bonus and marks it credited.
Registration to claim
The bot asks each winner to register at your casino and reply with the email they signed up with. No account, no prize.
Broadcasts in the player's language
Each player picks Arabic, English, Spanish, Portuguese or Dutch. Broadcasts, rank alerts and the table follow that choice.
Promo ads to your casino
Scheduled promo ads by DM or in the channel point players to your offers, with a weekly DM cap per player.

A fair game, with no real money in the bot
Your brand is attached to the tournament, so the game has to be clean. Every player gets 10,000 free chips per tournament, with no refills, no shop and no paid power-ups. There is a 21+ age gate, and nicknames replace real names. Cards come from an 8-deck shoe shuffled with a cryptographically secure random generator, and blackjack pays 3:2. You can read the details on our fairness and data security page.
We describe how the market works, not what the law requires. Whoever runs the tournament is responsible for the laws and advertising rules of the countries they target.
Used by brands in the Arab market
Live in a day, from one checklist
The dashboard walks the tenant through setup in order: basics such as name, language, timezone and currency label, then the Telegram bot, the public channel, the staff group where your team sits, the tournament and leaderboard, terms and conditions, promo posting, a test post and go live.
If you are onboarding several affiliates, each one follows the same list. One subscription covers one tenant, meaning one bot, its channels and its web table.
Questions operators ask
Do players wager real money in the tournament?
No. The game uses free chips only. The prize is a bonus balance at your casino with 1x wagering, credited by your team.
How do we credit prizes?
Your staff are added to the tournament's private admin group. When a tournament ends, each winner and the email they registered with are posted there. Your team credits the bonus and marks it credited in the dashboard.
Can several affiliates run a tournament for us?
Yes. Each affiliate runs its own tenant, with its own bot and channel, your logo and the prize table you agree. Each tenant is a separate subscription.
Can we run it for our own players?
Yes. You can be the tenant yourself, with your own bot, channel and web table.
Who is responsible for compliance?
The tenant running the tournament is responsible for the laws and advertising rules of the countries it targets. The game itself is free to play with a 21+ age gate.
