GigaPub: Ads for Telegram Mini Apps

You built a Telegram mini game, people open it every day, and it still earns nothing. Or you have the opposite problem: you want fresh users for your bot or channel and do not know where to buy impressions. 📣

GigaPub is an ad network built for both situations. It works with Telegram Mini Apps, bots and web projects.

The working dashboards live on the service website. The project also runs an official Telegram channel with news and a support contact.

One network, two dashboards

GigaPub has two kinds of customers, and each gets its own dashboard.

• Publishers. Owners of Mini Apps and websites who add ads to their product and earn from impressions.
• Advertisers. People who promote a Mini App, a bot or a channel and buy impressions across the network.

The GigaPub name often shows up next to games and mini apps, so people take it for an ordinary bot. In practice it is an advertising platform.

Ad formats you can run

The network uses formats that mobile gamers already know.

• Rewarded video. The player chooses to watch a clip and gets something in return: a life, coins, a boost.
• Interstitial. A full-screen ad between levels or screens.
• Offerwall. A list of tasks where finishing one pays a reward inside the app.

Which one fits depends on the product. In casual games, rewarded video usually feels the least intrusive, since it is optional. 🎮

What mediation means here

The service describes its setup like this: several large ad networks are connected, they compete in a real-time auction, and the highest bid wins the slot. GigaPub's own network takes part in that auction as well.

The idea is simple. With several buyers bidding for the same impression, you have a better chance of selling it at a good price than with a single source of ads. Actual rates depend on country, audience language and traffic type, so treat big CPM promises as something to test on your own project.

Getting a Mini App connected

The service says integration takes a few minutes. A typical path looks like this:

1. Register in the publisher dashboard.
2. Add your app or website.
3. Place the code the service gives you on your page.
4. Call the ad in the right spot: after a level, or behind a get bonus button.
5. Check that ads show up and look at the statistics.

Start with one format and one placement. That makes it easier to see how ads affect player retention. 🔧

What advertisers get

The advertiser side is self-serve: you set up a campaign yourself, with no account manager in the middle. According to the service, you can target by country and language, take Telegram Premium status into account, and cap daily impressions per user.

That last cap matters. Seeing the same video again and again wears people down fast and wrecks results. You can promote Mini Apps, bots and channels. Begin with a small budget and judge the campaign by cost per useful action, not by impression count alone.

Check these before you commit

• Payout terms. Ask about the withdrawal threshold, methods and timing in the dashboard or through support before you integrate.
• Marketing numbers. Figures for CTR and fill rate in the network's promo texts are the network's own claims. Compare them with your statistics.
• Traffic quality. Fake clicks and bots lead to a banned account in any ad network.
• Lookalikes. Verify any bot with a similar name through the project's official channel, and never hand over wallet access or account logins.

Ads do not replace a good product. Income grows where people want to come back. 💡
