Hello,
I was wonder if it would be possible for players to transfer their in game currency into robux through my group. In this scenario, there would be no gambling, and the only way someone can acquire the currency is by purchasing them with robux. I feel like this might be against TOS, but I’ve been reading the TOS and haven’t really seen anything specifically state that you can’t do what I’m trying to do. Thanks!
I don’t think that is allowed. I found a post that is pretty much the exact same:
[1] Can I allow users to exchange in-game currency - Help and Feedback / Game Design Support - Developer Forum | Roblox
Answer: No
I wouldn’t do this at all because exploiters could abuse this
What I don’t understand is why you would want to transfer in-game currency into Robux when the only way to acquire it is to buy it with Robux. Unless I read it wrong or it was worded incorrectly it just makes no sense.
Roblox’s TOS doesn’t explicitly say you can’t give away free robux. Maybe they are referring to
“Using third-party services to buy, sell, trade, or give away Robux. This does not apply to Roblox gift cards” or “Using the group payout system in a fraudulent or misleading manner; including offering payment in Robux for acting as a model for assets, joining groups, referring members, or role-playing in experiences.”
But Roblox groups aren’t 3rd party services, and I’m not doing anything fraudulent or anything specifically listed against TOS. From a reddit post 7 years ago “tbh, the rule exists as a fallback for legal precedence, especially w/ scammers. not really enforced unless you’re doing something bad.”
I was thinking about maybe having players being award each other, and if someone wanted to cash out, they could.
“I wouldn’t do this at all because exploiters could abuse this,” that’s always something to worry about but by utilizing my own mysql database, it would probably be very hard for this to happen.
I cant find anything directly related, but, if this somewhat gets popular, which considering its basically free robux, so it most likely will, roblox will take it down.
Why? You’re outright ruining robloxs economy, thus they would most likely take it down.
I guarantee they would hate if you did this, and either straight up ban you (cause yes, then can do that) or make a rule instantly about why you cant do it, and then ban you.
I think this also might classify as what roblox classifies as fraudulent use of the group-payout system.
specifically this part:
including offering payment in Robux for acting as a model for assets
but then again I dont really understand what that means, gonna be honest I got an AI to explain it to me so its probably not the most accurate, but in the chance it is, then yes this would most likely be against the TOS.
Whether that statement is true or not, I think the main statement I made above is most likely to occur, as again, you’d be destroying robloxs economy.
Anyhow just my thoughts after reading the TOS for like 20 minutes 
I think that even if the system here isn’t explicitly stated in the TOS, it can and most likely will get taken down. Roblox is kinda known for their bad moderation and questionable ban reasons. There could be an extremely vague/obscure clause in the TOS that can be extended onto your cause and get it removed.
But again, there’s always services on Roblox where you can buy stuff with Robux for game systems, models, services etc that are given outside of Roblox but because you buy the item IN a Roblox game it somehow magically becomes okay? Roblox is confusing but you wouldn’t want to really poke at it and see if it bites back D:
I’m not sure how I’d be destroying Roblox’s economy or why’d they would hate it, as the only way people would be able to receive Robux is if someone else bought my in-game currency, and Roblox already will take 30% off from that (and I’ll take a cut too cuz I’m greedy).
Real, it does sound like something that Roblox would take down, even tho it would be making them money. It’s also kinda valid because there’s no way for them to ensure that I would actually give the Robux back to the players. I wouldn’t scam, but since Roblox wouldn’t be handling the transaction they can’t guarantee that I’ll handle the transaction and run away with the money. Maybe I’ll just mess with game passes.
I do remember there’s a game that allows people to “cash out” in game credits but the developers don’t buy the gamepasses, rather, it gets put into a queue where other people can buy it.
Player wants cash out 100 robux → Chooses the 100 robux gamepass → game puts it in a queue → a player wants to donate - > shows te previously mentioned player’s gamepass → donator buys the gamepass → player cashed out, developers got 10%, and Roblox not mad
if u want a example see here:
DONATE TO ALL - Roblox
