Moderator Guide Discord Updated March 15, 2026

Connecting to your Discord server

Install the Discord bot, connect your bingo with the event code, and give moderators the tools they need for in-server workflows.

#discord #setup #bot

Outcome

After this guide, your bingo will be connected to your Discord server so players and moderators can use the bot workflows tied to the live event.

Before you start

  • You need moderator access to the bingo workspace.
  • You need permission in Discord to install apps or manage the target server.
  • Your bingo should already exist so the bingo code is available.

Step 1: install the bot

  1. Add the RNG Bingo Discord bot to your Discord server.
  2. Start the Discord authorization flow.
  3. Choose the server you want to connect.
  4. Finish the authorization flow in Discord.
  5. Confirm the bot RNG Bingo is installed and ready to use.

Step 2: connect the server to the bingo

  1. Open your bingo in the app and navigate to the Discord tab.

  2. Copy the connect command from the Discord Setup section. This command includes the bingo code unique to your bingo.

  3. Run the command in the Discord server where the bot is installed. For example:

    /bingo setup connect bingo_code:<your-code>

  4. This command only links the server to the bingo. It does not automatically route bot messages into a catch-all channel.

  5. After connecting, configure dedicated channels with /bingo setup channels so each workflow reaches the right audience. A good channel list is:

    • #bingo-signups: /bingo setup channels category:signups channel:#bingo-signups. Enable Discord registration for your bingo and use /bingo join signup in your signup channel. When players sign up it will be broadcast to this channel with their in-game username.
    • #bingo-review: /bingo setup channels category:reviews channel:#bingo-review. It is recommended to make this channel private to moderators only.
    • #bingo-submissions: /bingo setup channels category:submissions channel:#bingo-submissions. This is the default channel for approved tiles and completed progress updates.
    • #bingo-general: /bingo setup channels category:announcements channel:#bingo-general. This is the default channel for bounties and event announcements.

Step 3: confirm the bot is working

  • Check that the server appears as connected in the bingo’s Discord area.
  • Run /bingo setup status to confirm routing stays empty until you choose the channels you want.
  • Review the listed slash commands so players know how to join, submit tile progress, and preview the board.
  • If your moderators need Discord-based review powers, add the correct Discord role or user as a moderation grant in the Discord panel.

Common gotchas

  • The bot can be installed in Discord before the bingo is connected, but it still needs the bingo-specific connect command to attach the event.
  • Use the exact event code for the right bingo. Connecting the wrong code creates confusion fast during live events.
  • Discord registration and Discord moderation are separate capabilities. Turning on one does not automatically configure the other.
