What media buyers, channels and creators ask most often before they start.
What exactly is the Unison dating affiliate program?
It is Telegram’s native affiliate program inside the Unison bot. You bring people through a personal link, they buy a subscription in Stars, and 50% of the amount is credited to your Star balance automatically. No dashboard, contract or tracker involved.
How much do I earn per user?
150 ⭐ from a weekly subscription, 500 ⭐ from a monthly one, 2,500 ⭐ from the lifetime plan. Every renewal pays the same way as the first purchase.
How much can I earn with a dating affiliate programme?
It depends on your conversion and retention. As a benchmark: 100 paying subscribers on the monthly plan bring 50,000 ⭐ a month — about $650 at Telegram’s withdrawal rate — and 600,000 ⭐ a year if they stay. That is the arithmetic of the rate, not a forecast: put your own numbers into the calculator above.
Is this a referral programme or an affiliate programme?
Mechanically it is a referral scheme: you earn a percentage of payments from people you bring. Telegram calls these affiliate programmes, and that is the name you will see in the interface. The difference from a classic referral scheme is that the payment system calculates and pays the commission, not the service by hand.
How is this different from a typical dating affiliate network?
You work directly with the service instead of going through a CPA network: the 50% rate is fixed, there is nothing to negotiate, and no middleman sits in the payout chain. The downside is honest too: one product instead of a dozen offers — if your audience is not interested in dating, it will not convert.
Why 50%, and is it fixed?
It is a condition of the programme, not a negotiation. Half of the payment is the affiliate’s direct share: we are not paying a network’s margin on top of it. The rate is the same for a channel with a thousand subscribers and for a team with a five-figure budget.
When do I get paid?
The accrual appears right after the payment. Stars become usable and withdrawable after 21 days — that is Telegram’s rule, not ours. Stars stay valid for three years, so there is no rush.
How do I withdraw?
Stars are withdrawn to TON via Fragment: Telegram → Settings → My Stars → Withdraw. The minimum operation is 1,000 ⭐, a Telegram limit. After that, TON can be sold on an exchange or via P2P.
Do I need a website, dashboard or tracker?
No. You need a Telegram account and a link. Traffic and commission stats live in the affiliate section, and the money arrives there too.
How long does the commission last?
For life: a user is attached to you after the first launch through your link, and you keep 50% of all their payments, renewals included. The term does not expire if you stop sending traffic.
Are renewals and repeat payments counted?
Yes. Every Stars charge on a subscription generates commission, including automatic renewals a user did not cancel.
Can I promote this in a Telegram channel?
Yes — it is the main channel. The link works in a post, a pinned message, a channel description and a bot roundup. Channels and bots can join the programme as affiliates too.
Is paid traffic allowed?
Yes, as long as the source follows the platform’s rules and ours: no deception, spam or incentivised traffic. Keep in mind that dating is a sensitive category for ad review, and do not promise anything the service does not do.
What happens if a user refunds?
The commission on that payment is debited — that is how Telegram works. Your total may go down: it is not shaving, it is a refund to the customer.
What if the user already tried Unison?
They will not count. Attribution goes to the first launch through your link. Someone who was already in the service does not become your referral — but new people you bring stay yours for life.
Does it work outside Russia?
The link and payouts are not tied to a country: Telegram Stars and TON withdrawal work in most countries. The product is Russian-language, so Russian-speaking traffic — Russia, the CIS, diaspora communities — is what converts.
Who pays taxes on affiliate income?
You do. We are not a tax agent and do not advise on tax law: declare the income according to the rules of your country.
