Introducing Creator Rewards: Earn More by Growing the Community

We offer credit for the first three experiences active spenders enjoy each day, to reward the content that brings users to Roblox each day. We considered several different attribution options; crediting only the first weighted rewards too heavily toward top experiences, while experiences after the third were less likely to be the reason for a user’s visit. Three daily sessions ensure creators, big and small, have a fair chance to earn in our new program.

There are many examples in this thread about why this is a bad idea. Players may join experiences for their daily rewards, play for a while, and then go on to the next experience. Regardless, I don’t see why this can’t be spread evenly across all experiences that a player plays in those 24 hours, just like Premium Payouts do currently.

A key element of this system is the 10-minute engagement threshold, which serves as a proxy to identify deep enjoyment and engagement within your experiences. Our goal is to reward genuine fun and enjoyment over grindy gameplay mechanics.

This literally does the exact opposite. Grinding games == more playtime. I don’t mind this minimum, it’s the maximum that bothers me.

@Roblox

It’s important to note that all Premium and subscription spend also counts towards the $9.99 ‘Active Spender’ threshold.

This is good news at least, as long as it includes the $5 tier as well.

We understand our 60 day holding period might cause concern, but it’s necessary to ensure the validity of all purchase events; Similar to the legacy EBP program,where credits accrued based on 28-day engagement totals and were then subject to an additional holding period. This process allows us to confirm genuine user engagement and purchases before releasing funds.

I doubt it, but I can’t really argue what I don’t know. But I do know that it used to be two weeks, and now it’s two months.

Finally, when we say earnings are “uncapped,” we mean there’s no fixed pool of money for Creator Rewards. As the Roblox platform grows and more users engage and spend, your potential earnings will grow along with it.

I’m not sure if this was ever capped before either. The issue we have is that you’re not only limiting it to the first three experiences, but more importantly, you’re also only rewarding the first 10 minutes. There is literally no reward for longer playtime beyond 10 minutes. So, as others have said, developers might as well make 10 minute experiences rather than experiences that are fun for as long as you want it to be. You can still put a higher cap for an hour or so, where it stops rewarding, but only one reward per 24 hours is ridiculous.
