How does Telegram Ads Spy classify a Telegram mini-app into the Gaming niche?

The classifier runs the bot's public profile description, recent messages and category metadata through a regex-based niche detector — the same logic used for advertiser classification. Manual overrides for edge cases. See https://tgadsspy.com/info/niche for the full decision rules.
