Pool Degens: Billiards on Telegram

Billiards on a phone is nothing new, but billiards right inside Telegram, with a token for wins? That is exactly the bet Pool Degens makes. It is a mini app from the studio BitSport, tied to their web3 eight-ball game BitPool.

The game has gathered about 485 thousand users. Here is how it works and where to stay alert. 🎱

How the game works

According to the project, it is a SocialFi game. You farm $POOLD tokens in two ways: by completing social tasks and by playing against AI mascots that the authors call Degen AI Mascots.

The slogan is playful: even the wildlife takes a shot. In short, it is casual pool with a meme flavor.

What was reported about rewards

• For potted balls. Launch materials mentioned 20 $POOLD for each ball potted.
• For beating the AI. The same sources gave 200 $POOLD for a game won.
• A tap version. For people who do not like billiards, there is a mode called PoolTap where you tap balls on the screen.

These numbers come from publications around the launch and may have changed. Check the current rules inside the game. 📊

Where all this value comes from

The $POOLD token is an in-game reward. Until it trades on a market, it is just points on a balance. A mini app directory showed no token launch when we checked, and we found no confirmed listing date.

So any talk that your balance will turn into money is still a promise. Game points may well stay game points. ⚠️

A sober look at play-to-earn

• Time costs money too. If you spend hours, work out whether it pays off even if the token appears.
• Tasks may lead to outside sites. Do not open suspicious links or connect a wallet without understanding why.
• Never reveal your secret phrase. A real game does not ask for it.
• Fakes are common. Open only what comes from the developer's official link.

Who it suits

If you like short games of pool and want to watch a crypto experiment without investing, you can try it. Treat it as entertainment.

If you expect income, better to stop right away. Spending real money for virtual points is not worth it. 🙂

The BitSport connection

The developer plays a long game: it has its own game BitPool and a token called BITP. Pool Degens is their entry point to the Telegram audience. That means the game will likely keep developing, but the rules can also change with the studio's strategy.
