Bug bounty: big finds earn Stars

    Gift Club rewards players who find and report significant bugs with Telegram Stars. You report from the app's Support & feedback sheet, the team reviews every report, and a big find is paid in Stars into your in-app inbox. There is no fixed price list: the reward depends on how much the bug matters. Rules as of 27 September 2026.

    What counts as a big find?

    A bug that costs or creates value it shouldn't: Stars, Sparks or gifts lost, credited twice or credited wrongly.

    A way to win a game or open a box other than by its rules: predicting a result, replaying a finished round, getting a payout twice, or anything that beats the provably fair scheme.

    A way to see or change another player's data, or to act as someone else.

    A bug that stops a game, a claim or a payment from working for many players.

    Typos and layout glitches are welcome too: we fix them, but small finds earn thanks rather than Stars. Ideas count as well: pick Idea in the same sheet, and an idea we build can earn Stars just like a big find.

    How do I report a bug?

    Open Gift Club in Telegram, tap the chat button in the top right and pick Bug. Say what you did, what you expected and what happened instead, step by step, so we can make it happen again.

    Keep the device info attached. If the app has just caught an error, the button lights up and the sheet attaches the error details too; they help us find the right log line.

    One bug per report, and keep it private: don't post it in chats or channels before it's fixed.

    How are rewards paid?

    When a report checks out as a big find, the team sends Stars to your Gift Club inbox, where you claim them like any other reward. If two players report the same bug, the first report counts.

    The form can't carry a reply, so you won't get a message saying a report was small or already known. We still read every one.

    What is the fair-play rule?

    Report a bug; don't use it. A bug used to win Stars or gifts before it was reported doesn't earn a reward. Don't test on other players' accounts, and stop as soon as you've seen enough to describe it.

    What isn't part of the bounty?

    Stars that didn't arrive, a failed top-up, a gift that didn't reach Telegram or an NFT stuck on its way to your wallet are support cases, not bugs to report: they need a conversation, so write to @YourGiftClubSupportBot.

    Bugs in Telegram itself belong to Telegram's own bug bounty, not ours.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does Gift Club pay for bug reports?

    Yes, for big finds. Report the bug from the app's Support & feedback sheet; if the team confirms it matters (lost or wrongly credited value, a way to beat a game's rules, access to another player's data, or a bug that breaks things for many players), you get Telegram Stars in your in-app inbox.

    How many Stars is a bug worth?

    There is no fixed price list. The team decides each reward by how much the bug matters, and small finds such as typos earn thanks rather than Stars.

    Will I get a reply to my report?

    Not through the form: it only goes one way. A reward in your inbox is how you hear back about a big find. If you need an answer, write to @YourGiftClubSupportBot instead.

    What if I already used the bug?

    A bug used to win Stars or gifts before it was reported doesn't earn a reward. Report it anyway, and stop using it.

    My Stars or gift didn't arrive. Is that a bug report?

    No, that's a support case. Payments, gifts and NFTs need a conversation, so write to @YourGiftClubSupportBot in Telegram with the date and amount, or the gift's name.

    Found something?

    Open Gift Club, tap the chat button in the top right and pick Bug.
