How to claim a check

1 min readUpdated Jul 9, 2026

Someone sent you a check link? Claiming it drops the crypto straight into your balance — instantly and for free.

Steps

  1. Open the check link. It takes you to the claim screen, showing the asset and amount.
  2. Tap to claim.
  3. If the check is password-protected, enter the password when asked.
  4. The amount lands in your balance immediately.

You don’t need to have used the app before — opening the link the first time you visit @tgpaycryptobot works fine, and a wallet is set up for you automatically.

If you can’t claim it

  • Locked to a user — some checks are reserved for one specific Telegram user. If it isn’t you, you won’t be able to claim it.
  • Wrong password — the claim won’t go through until the password matches.
  • Already claimed / exhausted — a check has a limited number of activations. Once they’re all used, there’s nothing left to claim.
  • Your own check — you can’t claim a check you created. To get those funds back, delete it instead.

Sharing your own checks in a chat

You don’t have to copy-paste a link. In any Telegram chat, type @tgpaycryptobot and the bot’s inline mode lists checks you can send — pick one and it posts right into the conversation for someone to claim.
