Mission

We are focused on making social wagering a core feature of online communication. We aim to be the global, go-to layer for integrating seamless, fun, and fair wagering into any social interaction across the internet.

About

Wager is the first social wagering platform backed by Telegram. We are making betting as intuitive as writing a message in a chat group. As the first of its kind, Wager capitalizes on the familiarity and ease of messaging by allowing users to place bets as naturally as they would chat in a group. By simply adding the Wager bot to any Telegram group or channel, friends can instantly start betting on their favorite sports, turning every game or match into an interactive, social event.
