How to get referrals for any Telegram bot or Mini App

Any Telegram bot or Mini App

Buy Referrals sends real Telegram accounts through a destination you choose. That destination can be a bot you play, a Mini App you already opened, or one running on someone else's stack. There is nothing to register first: you paste its invite link on the same screen where you pick the amount, and the network reads the rest from it.

Paste the full invite link — the t.me address with your start= payload. The campaign then routes every delivered account through that link, so they land in your tree instead of joining unsponsored.

A referral is not the same purchase as a user

Most promotion products sell an arrival: an account opens a bot and a counter moves. A referral is stricter. The account has to enter through your personal link so the product records who sent it. That relationship is what pays you, fills your tree and settles a contest.

A Telegram deep link carries an identifier after start=, and the destination reads it to decide who gets the credit. Route an account to a bare t.me address and it joins with no sponsor. Route it through your invite link and the same account arrives already attributed to you.

The whole form is one field

The field accepts a username or a complete referral link. The full link is what you want: from that moment the start payload travels with the destination, and every account the campaign routes arrives already attributed to you.

Paste it and the field is replaced by what Mini Empire recognised — the bot, and how each delivered person will be counted. If the link carries no start= code, the card says so in amber before you pay. A bare @username still sends people to the bot; they just will not count as yours.

What the price actually is

There are no packs. One bar runs from 50 to 75,000 and the price follows it, recomputed on the server when the invoice is issued. The minimum is enforced twice, in the bar and again on the server, so an order below 50 cannot be created by editing the page.

The discount is marginal, like a tax bracket: the first 450 referrals always cost $0.0198 each, the next ones less, and so on. That is what makes buying more never cost less than buying fewer. The badge on screen shows what comes off the whole bill, not the rate of the last bracket — at 25,000 the final bracket is 40% cheaper but the invoice itself falls 25%, and 25% is the honest number.

Volume lowers the rate rather than unlocking a different product. A 75,000-person campaign delivers the same event as the 50-person order at half the unit price, which is why the small order is a diagnostic and the large one is a scale decision you make after your referral tab moved.

What a delivered referral has actually proven

How each person is counted depends on the destination, and the card tells you before you pay. On a bot of your own, the join is recorded in its own users table. On someone else's bot you can optionally hand over its token, and then membership is checked for real. With no token, delivery needs the same account to come back through the link a second time, at least forty seconds later — one accidental tap does not bill you.

Whether that account then pressed start is visible in the bot itself — Referrals, Invite or Friends.

One account can only be sold to you once

1. Discovery inside real products

   The campaign appears in a sponsored slot shown to people already using free Mini Empire bots and Mini Apps.

2. The route carries your link

   The button records the campaign and the viewer, then opens the native t.me destination with the start payload you registered.

3. A pair, not a click

   The campaign and the Telegram account form a unique pair in the database, so reopening the same promotion cannot create a second delivery.

4. Pending until proven

   No first tap confirms anything. With a token, the record waits until the start is observed; without one, it waits for a second visit from the same account, at least forty seconds later.

5. One increment, never past target

   The delivered counter moves only when an unconfirmed record becomes confirmed, and it cannot exceed the quantity you purchased.

6. Stale attempts expire

   Unconfirmed attempts are not held forever as billable delivery.

What this cannot do for you

The campaign buys the first event: a real account opening the destination under your link. What those people do next is up to that bot. Watch your referral count there, not only the bar in Buy Referrals.

• It cannot make the people you bought complete tasks, watch ads or withdraw
• It cannot guarantee that a delivered referral stays active tomorrow
• It cannot fix a first screen you do not control
• It cannot deliver a narrow demographic on request
• It cannot count the same Telegram account twice, even across sessions
• It cannot turn a bare @username into referrals — the start= payload has to be in the link you paste

Read the result before you scale it

A 50-person order exists to answer one question cheaply: do accounts that arrive under your link show up in your referrals tab? Watch that cohort separately from friends you invited yourself. Count how many appeared under your name, and whether any of them generated a referral of their own.

Then convert the price into the metric that decides the next order. If 50 referrals cost $0.99 and eight of them actually appear in your tab, your confirmed-referral cost is roughly twelve cents, not two. Scale when that comparison survives, and stop when the tab does not move.

Before you spend anything

• The invite link still works when you paste it into Telegram yourself.
• The whole start= payload is there — a trimmed @username will not credit you.
• You will paste that full link into the field at the bottom of the screen.
• You know where that bot shows your referral count.
• You wrote down the number that would justify a second order.
