Discord
Discord is the most powerful platform integration on RivalRyze. Connecting it once unlocks four things:
The RivalRyze Bot in any server you're in.
Guild Contests restricted to specific Discord communities.
Role-based Contest access (Contests open only to a specific Discord role).
Quick-linking your other gaming accounts — PSN, Steam, and Xbox can all be pulled from your Discord connections.
PSN is Discord-only (no direct sign-in). Steam and Xbox both support direct sign-in too, but Discord is faster if you've already connected them there.
If you signed up with Discord
You're already connected — no action needed. Your Discord account was linked automatically during signup.
If you signed up with email
Open Account Settings → Connections.
Find Discord and click Connect.
You'll be redirected to Discord. Click Authorize.
You'll be sent back to RivalRyze with Discord linked.
Linking gaming accounts via Discord
Discord has its own Connections feature that links your PSN, Steam, Xbox, and other accounts to your Discord profile. Once linked there, RivalRyze can read them in one click — no second sign-in needed.
How to link a gaming account in Discord
Open Discord (app or discord.com) and sign in.
Click the gear icon at the bottom-left to open User Settings.
Select Connections from the left menu.
Click + and pick the platform (PlayStation Network, Steam, Xbox, etc.).
Sign in to that platform when prompted.
Toggle "Display on profile" to ON for the connection.
"Display on profile" must be ON for RivalRyze to read the connection. Discord doesn't default it to ON for all users — check manually each time you link a new platform.
Then on RivalRyze
For each gaming platform you linked in Discord:
Open Account Settings → Connections on RivalRyze.
Find the platform and click Connect via Discord.
RivalRyze pulls the account ID from your Discord connection.
Sync starts.
What RivalRyze sees on Discord
We request the minimum permissions needed:
Your Discord user ID and username (to identify you).
The list of servers you're a member of (to show you guild Contests you're eligible for).
Your public connections with "Display on profile" enabled (to pull PSN, Steam, Xbox IDs).
We do not read your messages, see your DMs, or post on your behalf.
What this unlocks
Guild Contests — Contests restricted to members of a specific Discord server become visible to you if you're a member.
Discord Bot commands —
/profile,/balance,/leaderboard, and others (in any server where the bot is installed) recognize you as a RivalRyze user.Role-based access — if a Contest requires a specific Discord role, RivalRyze can check whether you have it.
Quick PSN / Steam / Xbox linking — covered above.
Disconnecting Discord
You can unlink Discord from Account Settings → Connections, but you'll lose access to:
All guild-only Contests you're currently in.
Bot commands that identify you in Discord chats.
Your PSN connection — PSN is linked through Discord, so unlinking Discord disconnects PSN entirely.
Steam and Xbox connections that were linked via Discord (you can reconnect those directly without Discord if you want).
If Discord is your only login method, you'll need to set an email and password first.
Troubleshooting
"Authorization failed" when I clicked Connect
Make sure you're logged into the correct Discord account in your browser. If you have multiple Discord accounts, switch to the one you want to link before clicking Connect again.
The bot can't see me in a server
The bot needs to be installed on that server first. Ask the server admin to set it up — see Adding the Bot to Your Server.
"User does not have a PSN/Steam/Xbox connection" when linking via Discord
In Discord, open User Settings → Connections. Verify the platform is listed and "Display on profile" is toggled ON. Then retry Connect via Discord on RivalRyze.
