Rockstar is basically handing out money again, and this time all it takes is connecting Discord to your Rockstar account.
No tasks to finish and no hoops to jump through, simply connect the accounts, make the claim on Discord, and the money appears in your Maze Bank shortly after.
It’s one of the easiest promos GTA Online has seen recently, landing right as players prepare for another expensive update and a growing list of things to buy.
Why Is Rockstar Giving Out $500,000 for Linking Discord?
Rockstar has rolled out another easy cash bonus for GTA Online, and this time it doesn’t require a GTA+ subscription or even logging into a particular event week.
Instead, players can earn a free GTA$500,000 simply by connecting their Rockstar Games account to Discord and claiming the reward inside Rockstar’s official server.
It’s a straightforward promotion, and while it isn’t as massive as the million-dollar giveaways the studio has experimented with in the past, it’s still one of the fastest ways to earn money without touching a heist or grinding missions.
The bonus drops at a moment when GTA Online is still thriving twelve years later, helped by steady updates and growing anticipation for the high-cost Mansions update coming later this month.
How Do You Link Discord to Your Rockstar Account?
The process starts on Rockstar’s website, where players must log into the Social Club account tied to their GTA Online profile.
In the account settings, there’s a section dedicated to connecting third-party services. Discord is included on that list, and connecting it is quick.
Sign in, approve the permission prompt, and the two accounts link automatically.
This step is familiar to long-time players who remember earlier promotional tie-ins, such as the old monthly PlayStation Plus bonus where Rockstar handed out half a million dollars every month before GTA+ existed.
This new setup works for everyone with a Social Club account, without any platform limits or subscription requirements.
What Do You Need to Do Inside Discord to Claim the Money?
Once the accounts are connected, the rest of the process happens on Discord, requiring players to join the official Rockstar Games server and head to the rewards channel.
That’s where the claim action becomes available. Some people trigger it with /claim and others go through the pinned message Rockstar sets for the event.
You still have to claim the reward inside the server; the link by itself won’t release the payout.
After the claim is registered, Rockstar marks your account as eligible and begins processing the bonus.
When Will the $500,000 Arrive in Your GTA Online Account?
The money won’t show up right away, with Rockstar and multiple sources noting that the GTA$500,000 usually lands in your Maze Bank account within about 72 hours after your next GTA Online login.
It shows up as a deposit, just like other login bonuses, and players can verify it by checking their transaction history.

For this promo, though, the majority seem to receive their payout without much delay.
