November 2024 – TenexCasino.io is set to revolutionise the world of online gaming with its groundbreaking platform that combines cryptocurrency, Web3 technology, and AI-powered experiences. Built for both casual gamers and serious crypto enthusiasts, Tenex Casino merges casino games and sports betting seamlessly, all powered by the Tenex Token.

A Web3 Gaming Revolution

Tenex Casino stands out as a fully licensed and audited Web3 platform that brings next-gen gaming experiences. With over 8,000 + casino games—including slots, roulette, blackjack, poker, and live casino options—the platform caters to thrill-seekers and strategic players alike. Additionally, Tenex offers a sportsbook covering more than 35 sports, from major leagues to niche markets.

Powered by AI and Blockchain

Advanced AI technology underpins every facet of TenexCasino.io, enhancing player experience with personalised gameplay and robust fraud detection. By analysing player behaviour, AI delivers tailored gaming experiences, making every session engaging. Additionally, AI-driven KYC (Know Your Customer) and CRM (Customer Relationship Management) systems streamline user verification and support, creating a secure, efficient environment.

A Crypto-Forward Approach

Stake - Best Online Casino & Sports Betting Platform

As a crypto casino, Tenex supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Binance Smart Chain, Tron, XRP, USDT, USDC and the native Tenex Token, offering faster, safer transactions with added anonymity. The platform’s blockchain infrastructure ensures transparency with a deflationary token economy encouraging player engagement and investment in the ecosystem.

A Secure and Regulated Platform

Licensed by Curaçao eGaming and audited by leading blockchain security firms Hacken and Cyber Scope, Tenex Casino prioritises security and fairness, allowing players to enjoy peace of mind with secure transactions, protected personal data, and a legitimate gaming environment.

Play-to-Earn, Staking and Cash Back Bonus

Beyond standard gameplay, Tenex introduces an innovative play-to-earn and staking model, alongside a cash back bonus program. Here’s how each works:

Play-to-Earn Opportunities: Tenex’s play-to-earn model allows players to earn Tenex Tokens simply by engaging in gameplay. By winning in certain games or achieving specific in-game milestones, players accumulate rewards that can be withdrawn or reinvested into staking for further growth. This unique feature transforms casual gameplay into an income-generating opportunity.

Staking Rewards: Players can stake Tenex Tokens to gain different tiers, earning additional rewards based on their staking level. The higher the tier, the more substantial the rewards, with top-tier participants receiving bonuses in both Tenex Tokens and stablecoins like USDT/USDC. This approach encourages players to engage long-term and benefit from increased earnings over time.

Cash Back Bonus Program: Tenex Casino’s cash back bonus program rewards players who stake Tenex Tokens by placing them into tiers that offer monthly cash back bonuses. Higher tiers mean larger bonuses, paid in USDT/USDC. This system not only encourages loyalty but ensures flexible use of rewards and keeps players engaged with continuous opportunities to earn and enjoy their gaming experience.

Looking Ahead

With its full launch scheduled for November 2024, TenexCasino.io is excited to unveil further innovations, including community-driven events like the Tenex raffle competition and an exclusive NFT collection. As a self-funded project with no pre-sale, the casino’s token listing is planned for Q1 2025.

Whether you’re a seasoned crypto investor, gaming enthusiast, or newcomer to Web3, Tenex Casino promises an immersive, secure, and rewarding experience.
