Errors When Buying Gifts

In recent days, users have been encountering issues when trying to purchase gifts on the Telegram marketplace. The two most common situations are:
1. Nothing happens when the purchase button is clicked.
2. The app displays an error message with the code STARGIFT_RESELL_TOO_EARLY_xxxxxxx, where xxxxxxx is a number.

The cause of these errors lies in the fact that the marketplace may display gifts that are not actually available for purchase.

This is because, as of May 13, Telegram introduced a rule stating that a gift cannot be listed for resale until 21 days have passed since it was received or upgraded by its current owner. However, gifts that were listed for resale before this rule came into effect still appear in the resale list, but they cannot be purchased.

If the app displays the STARGIFT_RESELL_TOO_EARLY_xxxxxxx error when attempting to buy a gift, the xxxxxxx number represents the number of seconds remaining until the gift becomes available for purchase. Divide this number by 86,400 to find out how many days remain before you can buy the gift.

Gift API Restrictions

The Telegram development team has implemented restrictions in the gift purchase system.

Bots may now encounter the following errors:
β€’ 500 Internal Server Error when requesting newly available gifts.
β€’ 400 Bad Request with the code STARGIFT_USAGE_LIMITED when attempting to purchase a gift.

Telegram likely introduced these API limitations ahead of new gift releases to prevent automated bulk purchases and ensure fair access for all users.

Userbots are also affected by these restrictions and receive the same error code STARGIFT_USAGE_LIMITED.

Telegram Improves Gift Sending System

In the source code of Telegram Beta version, strings have been discovered indicating several new features being developed by the messenger's team:

β€’ Improvements for organizing gifts
Users now have access to a system for organizing gifts into collections, with the ability to add and manage them. There are also mentions of limits on sending certain gifts.

β€’ Premium gifts
Some gifts will be available exclusively to Telegram Premium subscribers.

β€’ Limit on gifts per user
The source code contains mentions of restrictions on the number of gifts that can be sent to a single user. Different gifts will have individual limits.

β€’ Profile level
References to a "profile level" have been found in the code, which depends on the number of stars spent.

β€’ Age verification
According to the discovered strings, this is a requirement of UK legislation, and Telegram emphasizes that photos used for age verification will not be stored on their servers.

β€’ Flexible subscription options
A string has been found indicating the introduction of Premium subscriptions different from the standard monthly and annual plans, such as a 2-year option.

There were also removed strings related to local translation models.

It's important to note that currently only mentions of these features have been discovered in Telegram's code, and they haven't been officially announced yet, so the final versions of these functions may undergo some changes.

Scammers Steal NFT Gifts Using Business Chatbots A scam is spreading on Telegram involving the theft of NFT gifts by connecting a business chatbot to the victim's account. How the scheme works: β€’ Scammers deceive the victim into connecting the chatbot…
Scammers on the Telegram Marketplace

Currently, on Telegram’s marketplace where upgraded gifts are sold for Stars, some gifts appear at prices significantly lower than others. 
However, purchasing such a gift is impossible, as scammers quickly set a different price every second, triggering the error β€œPrice changed. Please try again.” when attempting to purchase it.

The gift owner’s name often includes a prompt to open the description, where users are encouraged to activate a business bot with specific permissions. 
Allegedly, this helps resolve the issue of frequently changing gift prices.

In reality, this is an old scam scheme we’ve already covered on our channel. 
Once permissions are granted, the business bot steals your valuable limited-edition gifts β€” and recovering them becomes impossible.

Telegram Tests "Gift Crafting": Casino Mechanics and Asset Burning

A new feature for gifts called "crafting" has been discovered in Telegram's code. The concept is simple: users will be able to combine multiple gifts into one to obtain a rarer item.

@tginfo summarizes the mechanics found by teleLakel:

β€’ Risk of losing everything. The main feature is that the process does not guarantee success. Selected gifts may simply "burn". When combining two gifts, the chance of losing them is highest; with four, the risk is lower but still present.
β€’ Merging. You can use up to 4 gifts for crafting. The resulting item will inherit the ID of the first selected gift (e.g., if you select gifts in the order [100, 50, 200], the new gift will receive #100).
β€’ Color inheritance. If you combine 4 gifts of the same color, the result is guaranteed to have that same color. In other cases, attributes are rolled randomly.
β€’ Irreversibility. Gifts created this way cannot be used for crafting again.
β€’ Incompatibility with NFTs. teleLakel speculates that gifts previously minted on the TON blockchain as NFTs might be incompatible with the new mechanics.

Why is this needed?

Effectively, Telegram is introducing a gambling element. Users will face a choice: keep what they have or risk their assets for a chance to get a unique model.

From a market perspective, this is a classic way to drive up prices. "Consumable" gifts will be burned in large quantities, their total supply will decrease, meaning remaining and newly created items could increase in value.

The feature is not yet functional and may change by release. Crafting could become paid, the logic might change, or additional restrictions could be applied.

Previously, the @tginfo team discovered that the Telegram team is working on a gambling game, Emoji Stake, which allows betting on dice rolls. The messenger team also introduced an auction system for gifts, allowing Telegram to sell new models for the maximum price offered by the market.

@tginfo Editors Opinion: Untimely Gambling

Introducing blatant gambling mechanics in early 2026 seems like a highly risky move. Telegram is going against the trend of platforms striving for regulatory compliance.

β€’ Brazil. Starting in March, a ban on selling lootboxes to children comes into effect. A local court has previously blocked Telegram, and repeated disregard for laws could cost the messenger this market.
β€’ EU and Australia. The European Union is preparing laws against "addictive design," while in Australia, such mechanics automatically assign an "18+" rating to the app, threatening removal from public access in app stores.
