as someone who 18+ it is restricted for me even tho my age is verify i find it kinda annoying as i don’t think it should affected me nor anyone who above the age 18+

#84

nope we are prohibited, as i notice the games that have lootbox are as well not aloowring 18+ people and it really annyoing even tho we ARE 18+

#85

At the moment, there are no 18+ Roblox games, however I do know that Roblox are planning on making Age Ratings change depending on the country you live. So 17+ games that have gambling could actually be 18+ in Australia.

We will have to wait and see.

that’s not really relevant to this topic. the point is that lootboxes are already right now restricted to open via purchasable currency for ALL Australian users (including those over the age of 18). therefore, everyone in Australia is prohibited no matter your age OR the age rating on a game

Yeah, it’s really annoying. I’m 20 years old; shouldn’t I be able to choose if I want to use Robux to gamble? By law, I’m of legal gambling age. It’s also frustrating that Roblox hasn’t made this fully clear. Additionally, many games offer free overpowered loot boxes for VIP members, but now you can’t use the loot boxes you receive because of these restrictions

The law in australia allows for anyone (yes, including those under 18) to access paid Lootboxes, the games just REQUIRE an M age rating, even if they block paid RNG to younger users.

And, as you should have figured, ROBLOX doesn’t want to have an M age rating, so they’re just going to keep it blocked for everyone.

Anyway, its better this way. (Less money for lazy, greedy devs)
