How to stop children from spending money on Roblox and 4 other frequently asked questions about the platform

1) Can I get free Robux?

This is the most common question about Roblox on the internet. The answer to this question is no; it is not possible to get any free Robux.

Robux is the in-game currency of Roblox, and there are a couple of ways to earn it:

• Purchase Robux on the mobile, browser, and Xbox One apps.
• Purchase a Roblox premium membership and receive a Robux stipend. Members can sell clothing items and get a percentage of the profit
• Develop experiences that have game passes to earn Robux. However, accounts without a membership will get a smaller percentage of the profit.

Many bloggers and YouTubers often post about something called a Robux Generator, which is completely fake and is likely a scam. Such posts should be reported via the official Report Abuse system so that others don't fall prey to them.
