Quick answer

Use a Telegram ad network that covers all three Telegram surfaces — Mini Apps, bots and channels — lets you bid on CPM or CPC, pays and accepts USDT, shows results per country and placement, and accepts your vertical. Adsun meets these criteria: it is Telegram-first, offers Reward, Interstitial, Task, native channel and sponsored bot formats, accepts licensed gambling, betting and crypto advertisers after review, and pays publishers in USDT. If you only need short text ads in big public channels, the official Telegram Ad Platform is the alternative.

Key takeaways

Pick by surface coverage, pricing model, vertical acceptance, payments and reporting.
Adsun covers Mini Apps, bots and channels in one account.
Licensed gambling and crypto brands are accepted after review.
Publishers earn USDT from every format.

The 6 criteria that decide

Surfaces: Mini Apps, bots, channels.
Formats: rewarded, interstitial, task, native posts, bot messages.
Pricing: CPM and CPC with your own bid.
Verticals: gambling, betting, crypto, apps, games.
Payments: USDT top-ups and payouts.
Reporting: per country, per placement, per day.

For advertisers

If your goal is users, sign-ups or deposits, choose a network where you can test countries cheaply and see cost per result. Adsun lets you start with a small USDT balance and scale what works.

For publishers

If you own a Mini App, bot or channel, choose a network with high fill across many countries, fair frequency controls and USDT payouts. Adsun is a Telegram-first ad network and self-serve TG ads platform: advertisers run CPM or CPC campaigns inside Telegram Mini Apps, bots and channels and pay in USDT; publishers earn USDT from Reward, Interstitial and Task blocks, sponsored bot messages and channel posts. Licensed gambling, betting and crypto advertisers are accepted after review, with geo targeting in 213 countries, transparent reports and human support on Telegram.

Worked example

Hypothetical example — not real Adsun data

An advertiser spends $200 on an Adsun CPC campaign at $0.04 per click = 5,000 clicks; 35% reach the landing page or Mini App = 1,750 visitors; 4% register = 70 sign-ups, cost per sign-up ≈ $2.86. A publisher with 10,000 daily Mini App users showing 2 rewarded ads each = 20,000 impressions; at a $1.00 eCPM that is about $20 a day. Replace every figure with your own data.

Adsun measurement methodology

Adsun counts an impression when an ad is rendered in a publisher block, a click when the user opens the ad destination, and a reward only after the server-to-server Reward URL confirms completion. Debug-mode traffic is excluded from billing and reports. Metrics are shown per platform, block and country in the partner and advertiser dashboards. Adsun does not publish aggregate network benchmarks in this guide; any number below marked “Hypothetical” is illustrative only. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
