How TGBidder works

Rules

TGBidder is a public leaderboard for Telegram bots, Mini Apps, channels, groups, and personal profiles. Rank is determined by the active paid bid—nothing else changes the order.

Ranking and bids

  • Bids use whole Telegram Stars. A new listing starts at ⭐5 and the maximum bid is ⭐10,000,000.
  • A higher active bid ranks higher. Taking #1 requires one Star more than the current leader; a smaller bid takes the highest position it can claim.
  • If two bids are equal, the bid activated first stays above the later bid.
  • A listing owner can raise an active bid by at least one Star. Every raise is a new Telegram payment for the full selected bid amount, not only the difference.

What can be listed

  • Bots: use the bot’s direct username link, for example t.me/ExampleBot. Bot deep links such as t.me/ExampleBot?start=campaign are also accepted and preserved.
  • Mini Apps: use the direct app link t.me/ExampleBot/app_name. The first path must be a bot username and the second path must be the Mini App short name.
  • Mini App links may contain one startapp parameter, for example t.me/ExampleBot/app_name?startapp=campaign_1. The value may contain letters, numbers, _, and -, up to 512 characters.
  • Channels and groups: use their public username link, for example t.me/project_channel or t.me/project_group. Links to individual posts or messages are not accepted.
  • Personal profiles: use t.me/username. The account may have private privacy settings, but it must have a username; phone-number links are not accepted.
  • You may enter t.me/... without a protocol, or use a full https://t.me/... or https://telegram.me/... link. HTTP, non-Telegram domains, and shortened links are rejected.
  • Private invitations such as t.me/+... and t.me/joinchat/..., Telegram service links, and links with extra path segments are not accepted.
  • The same Telegram URL may appear in multiple independent listings. Each listing keeps its own bid, metadata, clicks, and rank history.
  • Project type, name, description, and category are required. The owner may edit them without changing the active bid.

Content restrictions

  • Pornography, explicit sexual content, sexual services, and any sexual content involving minors are prohibited.
  • Terrorist or extremist propaganda, recruitment, fundraising, and praise for violent organizations are prohibited.
  • Graphic gore, real-world torture, executions, and content created primarily to shock or glorify violence are prohibited.
  • Hate content, targeted harassment, scams, phishing, malware, impersonation, and the sale of illegal goods or services are prohibited.
  • Prohibited listings may be rejected or removed. Repeated or deliberate violations may result in loss of submission access.

Clicks and history

  • A click is recorded when someone chooses “Open in Telegram,” not when they open the listing details page.
  • The same visitor counts once per listing in a 24-hour window. Duplicate and excessive requests do not increase the public count.
