Roblox significantly restructured its Terms of Use on April 23, 2026, removing a large number of sections and modifying hundreds of others. Key sections covering user accounts, virtual currency, payments, intellectual property, dispute resolution, and arbitration were removed or substantially changed. This is a major overhaul that affects how users' rights, payments, and disputes are handled on the platform.
Roblox removed or heavily modified major sections of its Terms of Use, including rules around user accounts, Robux, payments, refunds, intellectual property, and dispute resolution — meaning the terms governing how your money and rights are protected have materially changed. The removal of explicit dispute resolution and arbitration sections may affect how users can resolve complaints against Roblox. You can review the updated Terms of Use on Roblox's website before the April 30, 2026 effective date to understand how your rights have changed.
The rules explaining how you could formally resolve a dispute with Roblox are no longer in the terms, making it unclear what your options are if something goes wrong.
The section that spelled out your rights around refunds and how payments work has been taken out of the terms.
