Bot Bandit: build a life in your chat

Want a game but can't be bothered to install another app? Bot Bandit runs right inside Telegram. You open the chat, tap a button and start from zero: no money, no connections, just a plan. 🎲

From there it is up to you. Take jobs, save up, start a business, buy property, cars and clothes. More than 150,000 people play it every month, so the leaderboard is never empty.

From empty pockets to a small empire

The game is a text-based life simulator. Everything happens through buttons and short messages. There are hardly any graphics, but there are numbers that keep going up, and that is the hook.

• Jobs. You start with simple gigs, like driving a taxi and getting in-game cash for each ride.
• Business. Once you have saved enough, you open your own business and it earns while you do other things.
• Property. Apartments, houses, cars and outfits. They show your progress and give you something to brag about.
• Side modes. There is an in-game casino that uses virtual currency, plus other mini modes.

The team keeps adding content. Project news has announced gangs, territory wars, new casino modes and new clothing shops.

Better with a crowd 👥

The best part of Bandit is that you can add it to a group chat with the /add command. Then the whole group plays in one place, compares wealth, shows off purchases and competes.

For a friends' chat or a community group, it is an easy way to get people talking. Nobody needs to install anything extra. Telegram is enough.

Your first five minutes

1. Open the bot and tap Start. The main menu appears right away.
2. Get a job and earn your starting capital.
3. Check /settings to adjust the game the way you like it.
4. Lost? Use /help for the basics, and /m takes you back to the main menu from anywhere.
5. Bring friends with /add if you want to play together in a group.

Paid extras and the casino, plainly

The bot is free to play, but it has paid options. Some players say in reviews that progress feels slow without spending. That is the usual model for games like this, so go in knowing it. 💸

The casino runs on virtual currency you earn inside the game. There are no real-money winnings, and you cannot cash out in-game money.

• Set a spending limit before your first purchase, not after.
• Never buy currency from strangers in private messages. It is a common scam.
• Kids should play without a parent's card linked to their account.

Who will enjoy it

Bandit fits people who like slow economy games where you drop in for five minutes, collect income and leave. It also works for groups that want a shared pastime without extra installs.

If you want polished graphics and a story, this is the wrong format. Everything here runs on text, buttons and the urge to beat your friends' net worth. 🏎️
