On April 19, 2026, Roblox published a substantially reorganized Terms of Use with 1,448 sentences added and 869 modified. The previous version (effective December 19, 2025, with an April 30, 2026 update pending) has been replaced with a restructured document organized into titled sections covering user accounts, Robux, payments, intellectual property, online safety, dispute resolution, and arbitration. The document structure now explicitly organizes terms by functional area rather than presenting them sequentially, affecting how users and the platform locate and understand specific obligations.

Consumers: Disputes between users and creators, or between creators, now follow a formal resolution process outlined in the updated terms.

What this means for you

Roblox has restructured its Terms of Use into discrete sections covering user accounts, virtual currency (Robux), payments, intellectual property, online safety, third-party integrations, and dispute resolution. The updated document now explicitly organizes obligations by functional area, making specific rights and requirements easier to locate. The document introduces formal sections on arbitration agreements and class action waivers, meaning disputes will be governed by these procedures as stated in the updated terms.

What you can do
