Big update since Dev Log #2. The short version: we tore down the paywalls, rolled out a warm welcome for new players, shipped a tool to prove our casino is fair, and opened a direct line to me. Let's dig in. 🌞
🎉 Every game is free now — no paywalls
All 16 casino games and all 3 in-voice Activities — Poker, Plinko & Roulette — are now free forever. No Basic gate, no Premium gate. Just add the bot and play.
We think a Discord economy bot lives or dies by its player base, not its paywall. So the whole casino, the whole Activity lineup, banking, ranks, the shop — all free. The only thing still on Premium is Sports Betting (it leans on paid third-party APIs and real hosting cost), plus a few power-admin extras like the Telegram panel. Everything your members actually play with? Free.
👋 A proper welcome for new players
First time someone runs an economy command, SunBot now greets them with a starter balance and a 3-step quick-start — grab /daily, jump into a voice channel and hit 🚀 to play, then spend it in /shop. New members aren't dropped into a cold wallet anymore; they get a nudge and a goal: become the richest on the server. 👑
🎁 A 1,000,000 boost for new servers
When SunBot lands on a fresh server, the first admin to tap the welcome button claims a one-time 1,000,000-coin boost to kick the economy off with a bang. It's a fun little "first come, first served" moment for your staff — and a full treasury to seed shops, giveaways and events from day one.
🧮 New tool: the Casino Odds Simulator
Worried a casino bot will wreck your server economy? Now you can check the math before you invite. The new Casino Odds Simulator lets you play with the real numbers:
- House edge & RTP — see exactly how much the house keeps over many bets (Roulette runs a fair 2.70% single-zero edge; PvP Coinflip is 0%).
- Faucet vs sink — model how
/dailyrewards vs gambling volume affect inflation, so you can balance your economy before it runs away.
It's provably fair and fully transparent — no hidden edge, nothing to hide.
📱 A faster, cleaner, more accessible site
The landing page and simulator got a full polish pass: bigger tap targets on phones, a visible keyboard-focus path, razor-sharp pixel type on every screen, and fluid layouts that behave from a fold phone all the way up to an ultrawide monitor. Small stuff, but it adds up to a nicer ride.
🐛 Fixes
- The new-player welcome could repeat on every command for some servers — fixed, it shows once now.
- Assorted stability and reliability tidy-ups under the hood.
💌 Something broke? DM the bot
Here's the deal: every DM you send SunBot reaches me directly — and I reply personally. Hit a bug, confused by a command, or just want a feature? DM the bot and I'll get back to you. It's the fastest way to be heard, and honestly the best way you can help me squash bugs while we're in beta.
Prefer the classic route? There's still the 💬 Feedback button inside the Activity, or iwannahelp@sunbotapp.com. Don't have SunBot yet? Invite it — setup takes 5 minutes with /setup.
