All payments go to the "Group balance" which can be checked here:
Regularly, this balance is being distributed among the group members with a "Pay group liabilities and receive group dividends" ability:

Configure your group and set "Cost to join" value
Make sure that your bot does NOT have an ability named "Pay group liabilities and receive group dividends"
Make sure that "Everybody" role of your group does NOT have that ability, too.
