Capybara is a Telegram mini-game where you are encouraged to care for an animal and earn in-game currency. The developers promise to pay out real money either to a bank card or in cryptocurrency for completing game activities.
Warning
Capybara in Telegram is a scam project that you should not invest in. Personal testing, the user agreement, and online reviews confirm that the project is deceptive.
Capybara in Telegram: True or Not
The game is based on a clicker mechanism. You tap on the capybara to increase its level and boost coin earnings per hour. After completing basic tasks you can receive 1,500 tokens, equivalent to about 3,700 rubles – an amount supposedly enough for withdrawal. Then you are urged to purchase a second in-game currency called TON, which is more valuable (1 TON = 490 rubles). However, the internal currency of Capybara is not related to the TON cryptocurrency or The Open Network.
The request to top up your account is presented as a way to cover withdrawal fees. It is likely that you are asked to pay the fee from the accumulated coins, which are equated to real money. This is a common scam tactic. Even reputable bookmakers deduct fees from winnings rather than asking for extra money.
If you top up your account for the first time, under the guise of identity verification you will be asked for additional funds – up to 15.75 coins or about 8,000 rubles. The amount may vary. The support service encourages account top-ups but does not help with withdrawals.
Even if you manage to withdraw your tokens, the amount will be less than what you invested.
User Reviews on Capybara in Telegram
Users who topped up their accounts confirm that after each deposit there was a new excuse to add more money. There are no verifiable reports of successful withdrawals, even if they were loss-making.
The User Agreement
The User Agreement in Capybara (section 5.4) states that withdrawing funds in RUB is not the administration’s direct obligation and that topping up your account is considered a voluntary donation. Section 4.8 clarifies that all crypto terms in the game, such as TON or USDT, are used only to create a gaming atmosphere and do not represent actual cryptocurrencies.
