Discord Real Estate: members rent private channels with virtual coins

Real Estate turns channels into property. You list properties, like a small text room, a cozy voice lounge or a penthouse for six, and members rent one with virtual Bank coins and get a private channel of their own. Rent is charged every week, and a home whose rent goes unpaid is locked and, in the end, closed.

The property market members rent from

What you get

Properties you design

Text or voice, a name and emoji, a category, weekly rent, how many residents fit, how many units exist, a required role and perks: rename, emoji, co-owners and a topic.

A channel of their own

Each rental is a private channel only its residents (and your staff roles) can see. Voice homes get a user limit that matches their size.

Co-owners and tenants

Owners invite members as tenants or co-owners. Co-owners can invite, kick and pay rent too, and owners can rename their home or change its emoji and topic.

Weekly rent, paid ahead

Rent is taken automatically each week, and members can pay several weeks ahead with /realestate pay. Missed weeks while the bot was down are never charged.

Grace, lock, eviction

Unpaid rent starts a grace period, then the channel is locked so residents can’t see it, then it is closed. Paying at any point before that restores the home.

A real coin sink

Rent leaves the economy every week, which slows inflation and shows up in Economy Health. Staff can also give free weeks.

How it works

  1. Turn on the Bank and Real Estate

    Open https://console.botgg.app, choose your server, make sure the Bank is on, then turn on Real Estate in the Engagement section. BotGG needs Manage Channels and Manage Roles.

  2. List your properties

    Create properties with the editor: type, category, rent, size, stock and perks. A live preview shows the market card and the channel name.

  3. Members rent a home

    Members open the market with /realestate browse, press Rent, name their channel and move in. The first week is paid right away.

  4. Rent keeps it running

    Rent is collected weekly. The console lists every rental with its residents, status and paid-until date, and staff can give free weeks or close a home.

Private space as a reward worth saving for

A home of your own is something members work toward: they earn coins, rent a room, invite friends and keep paying to keep it. Rent and size are fixed when a home is rented, so editing a property only changes new rentals. Each rent payment is one transaction that runs exactly once, and a channel that can’t be created refunds the coins.

BotGG keeps Discord’s limits in mind: it stops renting when the server nears 500 channels or a category is full, and a deleted channel simply ends its rental. Prepaid weeks aren’t refunded when a home closes, and the confirm dialogs say so. Free servers can list 3 properties with up to 15 rented channels; Pro servers 25 properties and 150 channels.

Frequently asked questions

How do I let members buy their own channel on Discord?

Turn on the Bank and Real Estate in the BotGG console and create a property with a weekly rent. Members rent it with /realestate rent and get a private channel.

What happens if someone stops paying rent?

After a grace period (48 hours by default) the channel is locked so residents can’t see it, and a few days later (3 by default) it is closed. Paying before that restores it.

Can members share a home?

Yes. Owners invite tenants or co-owners up to the property’s size. Co-owners can invite, kick and pay rent as well.

Does rent come back when a home closes?

No. Rent and prepaid weeks aren’t refunded when a home is closed, by the owner, by staff or for unpaid rent. Only a channel that couldn’t be created is refunded.

What permissions does BotGG need?

Manage Channels and Manage Roles, in the server and in the categories you use. The console shows a hint when a category is missing them.
