Want to grow your Telegram channel and keep your audience engaged? Giveaways are one of the best tools to spark activity, reward your followers, and attract new subscribers.
With Telegram’s built-in giveaway features—such as Telegram Stars and Telegram Premium Subscriptions—you can offer real prizes while boosting your supergroup or channel’s level through Telegram’s Boost system.
Running giveaways doesn’t just benefit your users; it directly enhances your channel or group by unlocking customization options, increasing visibility, and creating a stronger sense of community.
In this guide, we’ll break down how Telegram giveaways work, the benefits of Stars and Premium giveaways, and how to set up your own. We’ll also explore how InviteMember’s tools can help you run even more effective and personalized giveaways.
How Telegram Giveaways Work
Telegram giveaways allow channel or group admins to reward users by randomly selecting winners who meet specific conditions—like joining a group or following a channel. These automated giveaways simplify the process and ensure fair results, which helps build trust with your audience.
Prize Options for Telegram Giveaways:
- Telegram Stars – A virtual currency used for purchasing digital items on Telegram or gifting to others.
- Telegram Premium – A subscription that unlocks faster downloads, larger uploads, and other exclusive features for users.
- Manual Prizes – Admins can manually select winners and provide physical or digital rewards.

Setting up a giveaway on Telegram is easy and only takes a few minutes. Here’s how to get started:
- Open Channel Settings: Access your channel or group’s Statistics page.
- Start a Giveaway: Tap “Giveaway” or “Get Boosts via Gifts”.
