What it is

If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, your parent or legal guardian must read and agree to the Roblox Terms before you use the platform, and the guardian is responsible for all of the minor's activities including purchases.

This analysis describes what Roblox's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 1, 2026

The updated Terms of Use, effective April 30, 2026, restructure how Roblox identifies itself and organizes its governing policies. The agreement now explicitly names Roblox subsidiaries operating in multiple jurisdictions (Japan, Canada, UK, India, Korea, Australia, Netherlands) throughout the terms. New sections addressing advertising integrations and content moderation have been added to the table of contents, suggesting expanded disclosure around ad policies and moderation procedures. According to the change summary, Roblox is providing additional clarity on who can see personalized versus non-personalized ads and clarifying API terms applicable to developers. The full operational implications of these changes require review of the complete updated policy document.

Medium Apr 19, 2026

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.

Medium Apr 9, 2026

The updated terms reorganize and clarify existing policies rather than imposing new restrictions. Roblox consolidated AI-related terms from supplemental documents into the main Terms of Use, added clarifying language about how creator content may be used in marketing and advertising, expanded disclosures about ad personalization and targeting practices, and provided additional detail on moderation procedures and group/community owner responsibilities. Practically, users and creators will find AI feature terms more prominently disclosed in the main agreement rather than in supplemental annexes, and the platform provides expanded transparency around advertiser eligibility and how ads are targeted based on personalization preferences.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The parental consent and guardian liability framework engages COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) for users under 13 in the U.S., and Article 8 of GDPR for EU users under 16; compliance teams should assess whether Roblox's age verification and parental consent mechanisms satisfy applicable regulatory standards across all relevant jurisdictions.
