Giveaway with a button in the Telegram channel
One of the most popular way to hold a contest in the Telegram channel is to use the "Participate" button. You can add the button under the contest post using our bot. Subscribers only need to subscribe to the necessary channels and click on the button to become a participant in the contest.
In this type of contest, the chances of winning are the same for all participants and do not depend on the number of comments left (as in the contest by comments).
At the same time, if there are no comments under posts on your channel, you do not need to connect them for the sake of the contest, and then hastily delete them for all subsequent posts.
