Answers to common questions
Hala Habibi is an all-in-one Discord bot. One bot handles chat & voice leveling, a full virtual economy, casino-style games, a football-card collecting game, giveaways, powerful moderation with a complete audit log, welcome cards, Question of the Day, and lots of community tools — all managed from a live web dashboard. It replaces a whole stack of single-purpose bots.
Click Add to Discord on the home page and choose your server (you need the Manage Server permission). On the authorize screen, don't untick anything — the bot needs those permissions to work. Then run /setup in Discord.
It takes about two minutes. Run /setup and click the green ✨ Auto-Setup button — the bot automatically creates and wires up every channel it needs (welcome, level-ups, starboard, suggestions, confessions, QOTD and more). Prefer to do it by hand? You can pick each channel manually in the same panel, or configure everything from the setup guide and the web dashboard.
Yes — every core feature is free forever. There's an optional Premium tier (per server) that unlocks extras like custom XP tuning, auto-roles and bonus rewards, but you never have to pay to use the bot.
The bot's interface — every command, menu and reply — is in English. It's used by a friendly community that includes many Arabic speakers, and Arabic chat works perfectly (Arabic messages count toward XP, leaderboards and stats like any other), but the bot itself replies in English. The theme and name are Arab & Gulf inspired; everyone from anywhere is welcome.
No. Anyone can use the fun commands — /rank, /leaderboard, economy, games, cards, birthdays and so on. Only setup and moderation commands need permissions (Manage Server for setup; Kick/Ban/Timeout for moderation). Type /help any time to see everything you can use.
Members earn XP two ways: by chatting and by spending time in voice channels. There are separate chat, voice and overall levels, each with its own leaderboard. Everyone gets a custom rank card with /rank, and you can see the top members with /leaderboard.
Yes — that's built in. Voice XP is only given to people who are actually present: members who are deafened, muted, alone, or only sitting with other away people earn nothing, and their idle time isn't counted. You can allow solo/private-VC XP or adjust these rules with /config voice.
Yes. Use /levelroles (or the dashboard) to award specific roles when members reach chat or voice levels you choose.
Yes (Premium). Tune the XP multiplier, cooldown, and difficulty curve, and even give specific roles or channels bonus XP, from /config or the dashboard's Customize page.
A virtual currency called Dinars. Members earn it from a daily reward (with streaks), a /work job, and by winning games, then spend it in the server shop, on power-up boosts, or the lottery. It's entirely virtual — no real money is involved.
Slots, blackjack, coinflip, dice, roulette, trivia, hangman, rock-paper-scissors, 8-ball, truth-or-dare, would-you-rather and more — most tied to the economy so you can bet and win Dinars. Admins can set bet limits and payouts with /config games.
A collectible mini-game: roll for original-art football-player cards across rarity tiers (up to Secret) with /card roll, claim a guaranteed /card daily, gift cards to friends, browse the full index and climb the collector leaderboard.
Warn, timeout, kick, ban, purge, slowmode, channel lock and a full-server anti-raid lockdown — all with a proper case system, private notes and public mod-logs. You can also require a written reason for each action independently (choose per action: ban, kick, timeout).
The dashboard's Audit Log records every change in your server — including actions done by right-click or by another bot — showing who did what: bans, kicks, timeouts, role and channel edits, invites, and even the contents of purged/deleted messages so you can review what was removed. It's organised into sections, searchable, and filterable by member, role or date, with CSV export.
Yes — there's a content filter on the Moderation page (or /config filter). Turn it on independently for confessions, QOTD submissions and suggestions, and add as many custom blocked words as you like. A built-in list of common swears & NSFW terms is used automatically, with smart matching that ignores innocent words. Flagged submissions are politely blocked.
Discord doesn't allow server owners to IP-ban (only Discord's own Trust & Safety can, for ToS violations). The most effective fix is to raise your server's verification to require a verified phone number (Server Settings → Safety Setup → Verification Level → Highest) and enable AutoMod — that stops most alt-spam.
Welcome cards for new members, Question of the Day (auto-posts from a big question bank on your schedule), reaction roles, join-to-create voice hubs, a starboard, birthdays, reminders, polls, suggestions, anonymous confessions, and a moderator application system.
Start one with /giveaway — a one-click join button, with optional requirements (role, level or invites) and a reroll option if you need a new winner.
The bot records who invited whom and through which link. Check /invites and /invitelb in Discord, or the Invites page on the dashboard for a full "who joined through whom" view.
Sign in with Discord to see live analytics and charts, a searchable member explorer, leaderboards, economy overview, a Most Active tracker, full moderation history, the audit log, invites, a Customize panel, and more — all in your browser.
Yes — that's the Dashboard Access feature. Grant trusted roles or specific members read-only access: they can look but can't change settings, run moderation, or set anything up.
Yes. Every role and member you grant can have their own set of sections — give one role Members + Leaderboards, another person Economy only, and so on. Each person's permissions are shown right beside their name, and you can revoke anyone instantly (even one person out of a role).
Very. From /config in Discord or the dashboard you can tune XP, economy rates, game limits, power-up prices, level-up messages, QOTD schedules, the content filter, per-action moderation rules, and more. Each server keeps its own settings.
Yes — the bot takes automatic, compressed database backups so your levels, economy and settings are safe. Backups are kept lightweight so they never eat up storage.
We store only what's needed to run features — IDs, levels, economy balances, settings and moderation logs — and we never sell your data. We don't store the text of normal messages (only moderation/audit records as described in the policy). Read the full Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Kick the bot from your server at any time from Discord's member list to stop further collection. To clear stored data, ask via /feedback or in the community server and it can be removed.
Give Discord a minute after adding the bot (commands can take a short while to appear), then try again. An admin can force a refresh with /sync. Make sure the bot has permission to post in the channel you're using.
Regularly — new features and fixes ship often. See the What's New page for the latest, or run /whatsnew in Discord.
Run /feedback in Discord to message the team directly, or join our community server (linked on the home page).
