# Chat Rewards

Engage automatically rewards members for chatting in your server.

* While **XP mode** is enabled, every member earns **10 XP per minute** for chatting (one reward per user per minute, regardless of how many messages they send). The amount scales with the server's level difficulty (Hard ×1, Medium ×1.5, Easy ×2).
* While **Points mode** is enabled, every member earns the configured **points-per-message** amount instead.
* Messages in **ticket channels** are ignored.
* Rewards stop counting when reward mode is set to none.

{% hint style="info" %}
Configure chat rewards from the [Engage Dashboard](https://www.engages.io/dashboard) → your server → **Point Settings** → **Message Reward Type**.
{% endhint %}

XP earned from chat counts toward the [Level & Tier System](/engage-discord/social-quests/discord/level-and-tier-system.md).
