How to claim a check
Someone sent you a check link? Claiming it drops the crypto straight into your balance — instantly and for free.
Steps
- Open the check link. It takes you to the claim screen, showing the asset and amount.
- Tap to claim.
- If the check is password-protected, enter the password when asked.
- 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.
