Before you apply

A Telegram group

One you own or administer. Ace Up works best where people already talk to each other.

A Telegram account for BotFather

You will create your own bot. It takes about two minutes.

A wallet address

Where your payouts go, every two weeks. One per asset you want paid in.

To not be a player at your own venue

You and your managers cannot play there. Worth knowing before, not after.

What you do not need

  • A bankroll. Ace Up funds it entirely.
  • A server, a domain or any hosting. Your bot runs on Ace Up’s infrastructure.
  • Any technical work. The whole setup is messages in a chat plus one BotFather command.
  • A minimum group size. There is no member threshold.

What it costs you

Nothing. There is no fee to run a venue, no revenue minimum and no commitment.

How long it takes

Activation is always reviewed by a human. There is no auto-activation setting, and nothing runs under your bot until someone at Ace Up has approved it.

The agreement

Before a venue is created you are shown the owner agreement and asked to accept it explicitly — I agree · create my venue. It is the first message in /newvenue, not a link in a footer. Your acceptance is recorded with the time, your Telegram ID and the version.
