Casino & Vape, is it againist the rules?

Hey, everyone! I’m making a game for my clients and I’ve created a casino billboard.
You can not enter the casino, you can not play any gamble games or anything.
It is just a billboard, it is againist any of the official Roblox rules?

Also, my clients wants to make a functional vapes in their club, is it also possible to create without breaking any of the rules?
Thanks for your help!

I’ve seen cigarettes in games before, so vapes shouldn’t trouble you, as they are ‘better’ than cigarettes.
I think promoting gambling is against ToS, but referencing it lightly shouldn’t cause any issues either.

Whenever you want to ask whether or not something is against the rules, you ought to check the rules (this also applies to fact-checking these sorts of questions). I’m referencing the Community Rules:

Honestly, the casino part is iffy since the Community Rules only state gambling and not casinos themselves, but any moderator may still interpret the reference to gambling as inappropriate. My verdict is that I wouldn’t even risk mentioning a casino.

On the other hand, vaping is specifically against the rules.

  • Alcohol, alcoholic references, drunkenness, smoking cigarettes, cigars, and vaping are not permitted.

@gxenious In general, I would not use “other games do it” as determination for whether or not an action is against the rules.

It still bad, so no it’s not allowed on Roblox.

Gambling in a Roblox game is perfectly okay, as long as it does not involve Robux or real life money, as stated in the Roblox Community Rules.

  • Gambling with Robux or real money;

For vaping, it is not allowed in any Roblox game.

  • Alcohol, alcoholic references, drunkenness, smoking cigarettes, cigars, and vaping are not permitted.

Please mark this as a solution if it helped. Thanks. :slightly_smiling_face:

This entire reply is entirely false.

Please report those games.

No, they’re not.

Actually, as long as it’s in-game currency, it’s entirely allowed.

My point is, cigarettes can be seen as worse than vapes. Anyway, as the ToS stand, you can’t mention any form of negatively addicted assets in your games, but it is fine to mention casinos, but keep a low profile while doing it cause you don’t want action taken against you for the wrong reason.

Generally speaking, most vapes are worse than cigarettes for your health. Both vapes and cigarettes or any type of drunkenness should not be in your game. Period.

Gambling is allowed as long as real money cannot be exchanged, directly or indirectly (in your case it should be fine). Vapes are a huge no-no, these things are not even close to being “better” than cigarettes, and still cause the same harmful effects. This should never be put into ANY game, and if you see one that contains it, you should report it.

I would assume casinos are allowed, I used to play a game Sunset City, which had a casino where you could earn money.

Vape would definitely be against ToS, its a form of smoking, which is definitely not allowed.
Functional vape clubs would not be possible without breaking rules, so I can suggest to not add any of that.

Now, I don’t know if Vapes are against the rules or not, but if I were you I wouldn’t add them. Young children might play the game and think that it’s okay to vape, which it’s not.

I believe you meant to reply to the OP, but I will reiterate that vaping is specifically prohibited in the rules.

Substances and smoking are off the table entirely without question. Pick something different to represent your characters on your billboard.

A billboard or decorative building related to gambling or casinos isn’t outlawed. The rules are geared towards gambling mechanics, not towards references of it. That being said, be wary of what you put on the billboard as always, because context matters heavily in moderation.

A game called The Plaza was popular a few years back, it had a casino area where there were slot machines and card games. You could use those to get money in that game. This devhub article shows that you can have kind of random things but if there is a way to pay for it with robux (for example, buying currency and using it on a slot machine), you have to disclose the odds.

Hope this helped.

Most games have a gambling system to make you spend robux whether it’s buying gems to open chests for a chance at a legendary or just a roulette spin (project pokemon dont look at my transactions log :sweat:) I don’t know exactly if it’s against TOS. Regarding the vaping in my opinion no you dont want to encourage kids to do something that is proven bad for their health. Thanks for reading.

YES! DO NOT DO THIS. It is against the rules of Roblox to include any sort of tobacco product or anything to do with gambling.

From Community Guidelines

  • Alcohol, alcoholic references, drunkenness, smoking cigarettes, cigars, and vaping are not permitted.

No tobacco no matter what.

    • Do not implement any gambling or casino style games that involve real money in any way. This includes Robux, as Robux can be purchased for real money. Games should also be fair and not be skewed in the developer’s favor .

Though you could misconstrue this as gambling is ok if Robux or Money is not involved that is not the case. The principal of this is no gambling at all or mention of it (even if it’s a mention of a casino). The Plaza fell into this trap and the game ended up getting moderated. It’s better to stay safe and just skip out on both of these features.
