Does your child spend hours on Roblox—but you’re not quite sure what they’re doing?
Roblox is more than a game—it’s a massive online world where users can create, explore, and connect. While it offers creative freedom and endless entertainment, it can also expose kids to unsafe content, unmoderated chat, or pressure to spend money on Robux, its in-game currency. That’s why it's important for parents to take an active role in setting boundaries and understanding how the platform works.
To start, Roblox has built-in parental controls that let you limit interactions, restrict access to age-appropriate content, and lock settings with a PIN. You can adjust who your child chats or plays with, block unwanted users, and report inappropriate behavior—all from within the platform. Talking with your child about these features, along with setting clear expectations about spending on Robux, can help them avoid scams and make smarter choices. The platform also includes an age verification feature that ensures younger users get access only to suitable content.
✅ 2–3 Things Parents Can Do Right Now
- Set up parental controls and a PIN on your child’s Roblox account today.
- Talk to your child about Robux and agree on a spending rule.
- Review privacy and chat settings together so they understand how to stay safe.
