Premium Join Bot: Premium-Only Entry

You run a closed channel or chat with join requests: by morning there are a hundred people in the queue, and some of them are plain padded accounts. Premium Join Bot automatically accepts requests only from users with a Telegram Premium subscription. 💎

Setup takes a minute. The bot starts with /start and has no separate menu: all its work happens inside the group or channel itself.

One job, one condition

The bot does exactly what its description says. You add it as an administrator to a group or channel where join requests are enabled. After that it approves requests from those who have Premium on its own.

The routine of checking each request by hand disappears: subscribers with the paid status get in without you. ✅

Connect it in four steps

1. Create an invite link with admin approval of requests switched on.
2. Open the administrators list of the group or channel.
3. Add the bot as an admin with the right to accept requests.
4. Publish the link and test it with an account that has Premium.

Who benefits from a Premium filter

A paid subscription costs money, and mass account farms usually do not buy it. So a Premium requirement lowers the share of bots and random visitors in a community. It is no guarantee of quality, but it is a noticeable barrier.

• Closed clubs. They need to screen out padded accounts.
• Discussion communities. They want live members, not hundreds of silent profiles.
• Ad-supported channels. An engaged audience is worth more.

What this filter does not promise

Spammers and advertisers hold Premium too. The subscription proves only that a person pays Telegram, not what their intentions are. 🚧

You also lose some genuine people who do not buy a subscription. If your topic is mass-market, such a barrier costs you a big audience. Decide in advance if you accept that trade-off.

How to test before launch

Create a test group with join requests enabled and connect the bot. Submit a request from an ordinary account and from a Premium account, if you or a friend has one. Compare what happened in each case. 🧪

If you have no second account with a subscription, ask a friend to help with the check. It takes five minutes and spares you unpleasant surprises with a large audience.

After launch, look at the member list and the request queue once a week. The filter saves time, but watching the quality of your community stays with you.

Bot rights and your safety

The bot receives admin rights, so it can see members and requests. Give it only the rights needed to accept requests and switch the rest off. 🔐

Check that you added the right bot, since other services carry similar names. Before launching in a big community, test it in a small group to see how it handles ordinary and Premium accounts.

Hundreds of thousands of accounts use the bot, with over ten thousand visiting monthly. The task is narrow, and the bot needs nothing complicated for it.
