‘Tomarket’ Telegram Game Reverses Airdrop Ban for ‘Sizable’ Number of Players

Telegram game Tomarket revealed airdrop allocations to players on Friday ahead of an impending TOMA token listing, but many players complained that they had been banned for alleged cheating—and claimed that they hadn’t done so.

After saying that it would look into any such reports this week, the Tomarket development team announced Tuesday that it had indeed reversed many such verdicts, and that those players will indeed receive tokens as part of the airdrop process.

“Following our initial review, a sizable amount of accounts have already been verified and unlocked, so please check your airdrop status to see if your account has been cleared,” the team wrote in a Telegram post.

Decrypt asked a Tomarket representative for a precise number on how many users had been cleared of wrongdoing, but did not immediately receive a response.

Tomarket announced last Thursday that it had generated its TOMA token on The Open Network (TON), and then proceeded to reveal airdrop allocations to players on Friday. But rather than let players trade the token, Tomarket said that a listing on exchanges has yet to come, and that players can instead earn more rewards in the meantime.

No ETA has been set for the token listing to enable trading. Decrypt inquired about that date, as well as the total TOMA token supply, but has yet to receive clarification on those points. Tomarket’s team said that the game has amassed over 40 million players since launch.
