Multi-use checks and how activations work
A check has two numbers: Amount per claim and Number of claims. Set the second above 1 and the check becomes multi-use — several people can each claim the full amount. Creating it locks amount × claims from your balance, and each claim releases exactly one amount.
One claim per person
Each Telegram account can claim a given check once. A second attempt is refused with “You’ve already claimed this check.” Ten activations means up to ten different people, not ten claims by whoever is fastest.
The same applies across accounts that share a device: if a check was already claimed from your phone, another account on it can’t claim the same check again.
Watching it drain
Your check list shows “N of M left”, and the check’s own screen shows “Claimed N of M” with an Activations log of who claimed and when. You also get a Telegram message on each claim, naming the claimer and the activations remaining.
When the last activation is used, the check is Drained — the link still opens, but there is nothing left to claim.
Narrowing who can claim
Under Claim conditions you can require any combination of:
- Password — the claimer types it to receive. See Passwords and locking a check to a user.
- Required subscriptions — only members of the channels you list can claim.
- Telegram Premium only — only Premium accounts qualify.
- New users only — only accounts that have never held funds in the app.
- Bind to a Telegram id — reserved for one person, which forces the check to a single claim.
These are checked at claim time, so someone who leaves a required channel afterwards keeps what they already claimed.
Pausing and editing
An outstanding check can be Paused — the link stops paying out and the locked funds stay locked — then Resumed later. You can also Edit it: change the amount or the number of claims, and the difference is locked or refunded on the spot. You can never set the number of claims below what has already been claimed.
