Hello, I have reached 10k+ followers and I am the owner of a group with a game that has over 4 million play time in the last 30 days. Will I be given verified badge, or will I be considered a contributor? Also, does anyone know the date of the next wave?

Since Roblox has not rlly said anything ab contributors yet I highly doubt it’ll
The next verification wave should be within the next week or so as it is now March. In terms of eligibility, you are eligible to be verified and you don’t even need 10k+ followers as you are the group owner. However, roblox has not started verifying group owners yet- only the groups themselves (like in the last wave on February 3rd). I myself, and many others, are still waiting to receive the profile badge as only their groups were verified last month.
I am the Holder & Creator of my Community containing the “Driving Legends” Experience with 1M-2.8M+ Playtime Hours in the last 90 Days, My group is already verified and so it would not make any sense for my account that Holds a “Notable Figure or Brand” to not be a Notable/Trusted Figure of an account. I have 11,000+ Legitimate Followers that I built up with Patience, I expect ROBLOX to pull through now that it’s been Over 30 Days and Ongoing with me being Eligible Now.
To Developer Relation Team Members:
This will be my only message on this topic for the month, as I will not allow myself to be emotionally pulled into desperation over a Blue Checkmark Badge.
Thank you.

Sadly Roblox considers Group Owners as game contributors rather than game owners, so you do need the 10K+ followers. It would apply if it was a game you created yourself, but the previous wave completely skipped group owners as far as I know. (Source: I’m eligible yet didn’t get verified.)
Roblox doesn’t treat group owners as contributors- they can get verified even without the 10k+ follower requirement (below).
As for the reason group owners were skipped last wave:
The “owner” of the group game is the group. You’re owning the group hence you’re not the direct owner of said game, and for some reason it will consider you as a contributor.
You can scroll up in this thread and see posts referencing this issue.

It seems like the verification wave has started, with one of the first users being @Lastinker

My group has been verified, but my account has not :((
My group was verified last wave but my account was not, I was expecting my account to be verified this wave since I met all the requirements but I guess they still haven’t enabled it for group game owners

Yes, the situation shows that. But even if it was stopped for contributors, at least group owners should have verified, in my opinion.

The only way to get verified through content creation on platforms such as youtube would be to apply to become a video star creator, get accepted, and then request verification through their exclusive support.
Did group owners got skipped again ? What is going on ?
Looks like it. 
Not surprising considering group owners are considered game contributors for some reason.
Then why they said Badges for group owners will continue to be issued.

As you can probably guess, it hasn’t happened yet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They probably meant for the UGC groups, and I’m not by any means a Roblox insider to know what’s going on there, so I can’t really answer that specific question.
I hope we don’t have to wait until next month for the accounts and that there will be an second wave because this has really dragged on. It would be nice if Roblox made a announcement. It seems like this situation has been forgotten.

Group owners of both games and UGC have been skipped once again- hopefully this will change next month.

Once again, Roblox seems to be neglecting this entire system.
Roblox has stated:
“Badges for group owners will continue to be issued.”
Yet, zero badges have been granted for individuals who own groups that qualify.
Group Owners are distinctly different from Group Contributors.
Contributors not receiving checkmarks is an understandable change, as the system was broadly abused. There is no reason to restrict Group Owner accounts from receiving checkmarks, as the risk level is significantly lower. In order for this system to be abused, users would need to transfer ownership of their entire eligible group which is exceedingly unlikely to happen.
As per the previously released statement, the intended behavior would be to verify the eligible group, and the user account that owns the eligible group, not just the group.
Can someone with contact to the right people get this fixed?
