Telegram Stars: how to top up Stars by @username

Telegram Stars are the messenger’s in-app currency. They are sent as a gift to your account by @username, with no account login or password. The minimum is 50 Stars, and you set the amount yourself.

What Telegram Stars are for

• 🎁 Sending gifts in Telegram.
• 💳 Paying for digital goods and services, purchases in bots and mini-apps.
• 🙌 Supporting channel authors with paid reactions.
• 💵 Subscribing to paid channels and exclusive content.
• 🌟 Buying ads.

How to top up: the by-@username format

This is a top-up by @username, not a code or a gift card. It works in all regions, with automatic delivery 24/7 in 1–3 minutes.

1. Open the Telegram Stars — top up by @username card.
2. Enter your @username (format: username or @username, or a t.me/... link).
3. Enter the amount of Stars (from 50) and pay — Stars arrive on your account automatically.

What to check before paying

• The correct @username. A wrong username sends the Stars to another account — no refund.
• Delivery format. Stars arrive as a gift, with no account login.
• Amount. Minimum 50 Stars; the price is based on the quantity.
• Delays. Usually 1–3 minutes; in rare cases there may be delays on Telegram’s side.
