To play with USDT in Telegram, open Gift Club, go to Get Stars, choose the USDT tab and pay from a TON wallet or send from an exchange on the TON network. USDT tops up your Stars balance, from 100 Stars, and that balance plays all 35 games and opens the boxes and scratch cards. Only spend what you can afford to lose.

How do you play with USDT, step by step?
- Open Gift Club and finish the welcome steps.
- Open Get Stars and choose USDT.
- Pay from a TON wallet, or send from an exchange.
- Pick a game, a box or a scratch card.
1. How do you get started?
Open Gift Club in Telegram, with nothing to install. The first visit walks you through a welcome gift, and the USDT tab appears once those steps are done, so wallets don't get in the way of your first look around. You can try every game before you pay: a Spark round costs 1 Spark, and free Sparks arrive every 4 hours.
2. Where do you choose USDT?
In Get Stars, on the Pay with switch at the bottom of the sheet: Stars, Gram or USDT. Tap USDT and every pack shows its price in USDT. The sheet opens on Stars until your first payment, so look for the switch.

3. How do you pay from a TON wallet?
Connect a wallet, tap Pay and approve the transfer. Tonkeeper, Wallet in Telegram and MyTonWallet all work. Your wallet needs USDT on TON and a little GRAM: it holds about 0.05 for the network fee while it sends, and most of that comes back. If it is short of either, the app says so before you sign. A wallet never needs your recovery phrase to connect. New to this? Read How to Set Up a TON Wallet for Telegram.
How do you send USDT from an exchange?
Tap "Send from an exchange or another wallet" and copy the details into your exchange:
- Choose Withdraw USDT.
- Set the network to TON (sometimes shown as "The Open Network").
- Paste the address, the exact amount and the comment (also called a memo or note).
The last digits of the amount are yours, and they help find your payment even if the comment goes missing. The app watches for it for about 30 minutes. If you send a little short, late or without the comment, the Stars still arrive for the USDT that was received. An exchange may take its fee out of what you send, so send enough that the full amount arrives.

What if your USDT is on Tron or Ethereum?
Move it to TON first, because Gift Club only receives USDT on the TON network. If your USDT is on an exchange, this is just the network you choose when you withdraw. Sending on any other network won't reach Gift Club, so check the network field twice.
4. What can you play with a USDT top-up?
Everything that takes Stars: 35 games, including slots, crash, plinko, mines and PvP duels, plus the boxes and scratch cards in Collect. Paid rounds are provably fair, and you can check one with the provably fair checker. For how stake-in games differ from tap-to-earn, see Telegram Crypto Games.

Playing with USDT FAQ
Can you play Telegram games with USDT?
Yes. In Gift Club, USDT on the TON network tops up the Stars balance that plays all 35 games and opens the boxes and scratch cards.
What is the minimum USDT top-up?
100 Stars. The app shows the USDT price on each pack.
Can I use USDT on Tron (TRC-20)?
Not directly. Gift Club receives USDT on TON only, so move it to TON first or choose the TON network when you withdraw from an exchange.

From a wallet, yes, a little: it holds about 0.05 for the network fee and most comes back. Sending from an exchange needs none.

The Stars still arrive for the USDT received. The last digits of the amount also help match your payment when the comment is missing.

It appears after the welcome steps on your first visit. If you have finished them, look for the Pay with switch at the bottom of Get Stars.
Do I need USDT to play?
