Have you already tried those Telegram bots to make money that are circulating?

I've been testing several for a while, and honestly, some do work.
Here I’ll tell you which ones are worth it in 2026.

Let's start with Hamster Kombat, which is probably the most well-known.
It went from 300 million users since its launch, and now its token HMSTR is listed on major exchanges.
Currently, it’s around 0.00 with a +2.28% movement in 24 hours.
The concept is simple: you control a hamster managing a virtual exchange and earn by clicking, but you need strategy to maximize hourly earnings by investing in upgrades.

Notcoin was the one that started this tap-to-earn wave when it launched in January 2024.
It’s the most minimalist there is: you tap a gold coin.
It has limited energy that regenerates slowly, so you need to complete missions to keep earning.
The token NOT is at 0.00 with +0.20% in 24h.
The interesting part is that you can form "nations" with friends and compete in rankings.

Catizen is different because it’s a cat game.
You breed virtual cats in your city, and they earn tokens.
It recently launched its token CATI and surged about 25% in the first hours.
Now it’s at 0.05 with +1.28% daily.
You can open themed loot boxes to get upgrades and unique characters.

Rocky Rabbit is another Telegram bot for making money that surprised me.
Here, you train a rabbit to fight against other players’ rabbits.
There are tournaments with prizes, and the RBTC token has been listed on several exchanges.
Although it’s currently down -89.04%, when it started, it was quite active.

X Empire (formerly Musk Empire) is basically Hamster Kombat but with a different theme: you control an investment empire.
It has 40 million players and allows playing against others to earn extra points.
It hasn’t launched a token yet, but they say it might be in October.

TapSwap attracts 60 million users with daily rewards of up to 40,000 tokens.
It’s very social because many tasks require interaction with friends.
They plan to launch $TAPS on October 30.

Major is the last worth mentioning.
Developed by the same creator of Friends Factory, it allows earning stars in various ways: not only by tapping but also by "mining" a coin for a minute or stealing coins in short periods.
It has a roulette, daily missions, and rewards for forming teams.
The MAJOR token is at 0.06 with -2.85% in 24h.

The question is whether these tokens are good investments.
All are listed on centralized and decentralized exchanges, so you can buy without playing.
But honestly, the game is more for fun than profitability.
Most Telegram bots for making money are entertaining, but you won’t get rich.
That said, some tokens have had interesting movements after launch.

If you’re looking for something casual while waiting on transport or during breaks, these games are fine.
But don’t expect to get rich.
The tap-to-earn model remains popular because it’s easy, fun, and connects you to crypto in an accessible way.
As more games come out, this will probably continue to be the entry point for many into the world of cryptocurrencies.
