Ad Formats Tailored for Telegram Mini Apps

Monetag offers three native ad formats designed specifically for the Telegram experience:

• Rewarded Popup
  A quick-reward format triggered by a user action (like tapping a button). It opens the offer page instantly, and users receive an in-app reward.
  
  
• Rewarded Interstitial
  A Telegram-style full-screen ad shown after in-app events. The user is rewarded just for viewing, making it ideal for boosting engagement.
  
  
• In-App Interstitial
  A skippable, full-screen format that appears during natural pauses — like opening the app or completing a task. Clean and non-intrusive.
  
  

These formats are easy to integrate, UX-friendly, and optimized for monetization without harming the user journey.

Still wondering whether Telegram Mini App monetization is worth your time? Just look at what’s possible.

A small team of just two developers created a Mini App with a collection of casual games — from Bingo to quirky scream challenges. By combining engaging content with smart monetization using Monetag’s Rewarded Popup and Interstitial formats, they’ve already earned nearly $26,000 in just 8 months.

How? 

- They localized the app in 16 languages to reach global users

- Used multichannel marketing (influencers, traffic exchanges, ad networks)
- Ran raffles and giveaways to boost community loyalty

- Built a Telegram community with a channel and chat for support and updates
- Added Monetag ad tasks into a “task feed” so users know exactly what to expect and get rewarded for watching ads or exploring offers
