More Creators Can Now Use Rewarded Video Ads

Ah! Got it — you’re talking about Roblox’s immersive ad system (AdService), where you, the developer, show ads (like Doritos, Nike, etc.) inside your game, and Roblox pays you for impressions.

In that case:

:magnifying_glass_tilted_right: You’re asking:

Is earning 6 Robux for 49 impressions of a 30-second ad a bad deal — as the developer who’s hosting those ads?

:money_bag: Short Answer:

Yes — it’s a very low payout.

At 6 Robux for 49 impressions, that’s:
• ~0.122 Robux per impression
• ~122 Robux per 1,000 impressions (CPM)

Now let’s convert that to USD for context.

:money_with_wings: In USD (Robux → USD)

Roblox DevEx exchange rate (as of 2025):
• 100,000 Robux = $350 USD
• So, 1 Robux ≈ $0.0035

122 Robux CPM → 122 × 0.0035 = ~$0.43 CPM

:chart_decreasing: That’s Extremely Low

In most digital ad platforms:
• YouTubers & game devs might earn $5–$15 CPM
• Roblox’s immersive ads are paying you ~$0.43 CPM

That’s roughly 10×–30× less than typical web/mobile advertising.

:brain: Why So Low?
1. Roblox takes a huge cut — they handle the ad network, advertisers, moderation, etc.
2. Most ads are branded as “engagement” or “awareness” — not high-paying click-through campaigns.
3. You’re paid in Robux, which already has a low real-money exchange rate.

:chequered_flag: Conclusion:

Yes — 6 Robux for 49 impressions is a low payout.

But it’s:
• Passive income (you don’t need to do much)
• Scalable (if you get 1M impressions/month, it adds up)
• A future growth area — immersive ads are still new, and payouts might improve over time.

:light_bulb: Should You Use Roblox AdService?

:white_check_mark: Yes, if:
• You already have traffic
• You want to monetize without gamepasses or dev products
• You’re okay with small passive revenue

:cross_mark: No, if:
• You want high income per user
• You dislike giving up screen space to ads
• You want full control over monetization
