Update on Paid Random Items Restriction for UK Users Under 18

To be honest I know alot of people 18+ who don’t gamble. It’s just people who are idiots.

And I know millions of people who do so. Are they idiots? Your opinion.

Loot boxes are the tip of the dark pattern iceberg and are basically a red herring at this point.

I mean yeah why get addicted to losing tons of money? Like seriously, out of all the things that you can possible get addicted to. This?

I don’t know if this counts as gambling or not but I do play stuff like rock paper siccors against my friends and whoever wins gets some sort of prize.

I will always support this, but I HATE how companies let this still happen in the US. If it weren’t for the EU consumer laws most of these companies would continue their scummy behavior, and the only reason they allow it in the US is because we have no restrictions to scummy practices.

Can more developers PLEASE also actually implement these policies?

There are some genuinely good games I used to play or still want to play but I can’t because some developers don’t implement their policies and random items/lootboxes are banned in my country as well.

It’s frustrating that I have to get a VPN to play an awesome remake of an old Roblox game.
And that I got locked out of some games that I already had progress in.

I hope you realize I said:

And I also hope you realize I said currency you can EARN would not be affected, currency that you can buy with robux would fall under the indirect spending to get the item. What I never mentioned was the fact that the odds need to be shown instead of the egg/box showing “???” as the odds.

oh cool, something that will stop affecting me in about a year.

i legit have no other comments except this, and to say that this is great! :smiley:

They’re read-only though, would be helpful if it was editable.
Oh wait, you just need test profile, that’s actually really cool.

You’ve just edited the text to correct mistake after I’ve pointed out the issue…

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all part of the UK

Good update. I think gambling should be banned outright from Roblox.

Yeah, let’s remember we devs aren’t here just for money. It’s a passion too.

i am pretty sure you need to use ID verification

They deserve to lose money for this, gambling and loot boxes are not in any way desired features.

gambling will just get you into an addiction cycle… not sure why getting a job is off the table for you
