Underworld

Last updated August 21, 2026

A game. Not a market.

These are the rules for using Underworld. They are short because the important parts should be easy to find.

Nothing in Underworld has real-world value. Currency, rewards and rackets are fictional. They cannot be purchased, sold, traded, transferred, cashed out, or exchanged for money, crypto, goods or services.

How the game works

Underworld is a free Discord economy game. Every server has its own separate economy, so a balance in one server has no connection to a balance in another.

There are no premium tiers, boosts, paid cosmetics, ads, sponsorships, or real-money purchases. Progress comes from playing and time passing.

Published chances

The current in-bot /help command is the source of truth for live rules.

MechanicRule
/hustle80% success chance.
/launder5% bust chance. The fee begins at 15% and rises with Heat, to a maximum of 45%.
Collection shakedownNo chance below 60 Heat; then 0.4% per point of Heat, capped at 12%. A shakedown takes 10–25% of that collection only.

Rates and rewards can be retuned for balance. When they are, /help is updated from the same game constants.

Play fairly

Server administrators

Members with Discord's Manage Server permission can configure Underworld for their own server, including switching its economy off. They cannot view, alter or transfer another member's balance.

Changes and availability

We may correct broken balances, close exploits, retune the game, reset an unrecoverable server economy, remove the bot from a server, or discontinue it. The bot is provided as-is and no virtual balance is guaranteed to survive an outage, bug, migration or backup failure.

Your data

Read the Privacy Policy for what Underworld stores and why. You can delete your data with /forgetme; it is permanent.
