Actually, now that I think about it, if you’re getting nothing there is a risk factor of losing Robux for no reason meaning it’s literally gambling, but you can easily make an unusable item or cosmetic and it’ll still count as an item that the player knows they have a chance of getting. (legal loophole)

It’s not explicitly stated that the numerical odds must add to 100%, but it’s implied that they should.
The odds of what? Also, they would probably explicitly state it if they didn’t want people doing it.
Now, I would never do this to my players, but my job is to assist, not judge.
The odds of getting an item from a lootbox.

- The odds of receiving each possible resulting item must be accurately disclosed to the eligible user before the moment of purchase.
Doesn’t imply that you’ll get an item 100% of the time. Even if so, you could technically stretch what qualifies as an “item.”

What am I supposed to expect here? I’m just helping a user solve a problem. That doesn’t really apply here.
“trying to solve a problem”
buddy you’re just creating a preston 2.0 and “helping” the user
They want to do something and there’s a solution I know. Do I:
a. Tell them not to do it
b. Tell said user how to do it and get a free solution
Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. After all, if there’s a 99% chance of you getting nothing from the lootbox, isn’t it clear that you’ve just made it clear to the consumer that they’re wasting their money?
Either way, it kinda sounds immoral, so even if it isn’t against TOS (it most likely is) you still should not do it.

I think that’s stretching it. It should be common knowledge that loot boxes should guarantee an item, regardless of its usefulness. What OP is asking for should not be allowed and I would not push their luck.
OP I hope you find a better path in life.

I pick A, your so negative about literally everything and have to disagree with someone
“oh no guys giving them a 99% chance of wasting money is perfectly legal and 8 years olds should be able to do it at willl!!!”
He’ll make a cashgrab game instead 
This idea they have will make Preston look like a saint.

That’s how OP can do what they’re asking how to do.
This is wrong, if an item is not useful does it really count as an item to the consumer? Would consumers know said item does nothing before they buy it? The TOS is flawed.
What if it was a pet in pet sim that didn’t even break coins?

You say this just because I disagree with you, I could just as easily disagree with OP and you wouldn’t say a thing. This isn’t negative, this is a constructive conversation? Blame the game, not the player.
Disagreeing to help someone on a topic they ask for help on can also be seen as negative, disagreeing with anyone can be seen as negative. I’m not trying to be rude or negative, am I? We’re both trying to get a point across, throwing “insults” (for lack of a better word) around because somebody doesn’t believe in an opinion gets nowhere.

Even if the TOS could technically get away with this through some magic loophole I don’t know about, think about this:
You’re making a lootbox that has a 99% chance of you getting NOTHING, full stop. Mind you, a lot of children play this game, so they’ll end up spending money like it’s no big deal. Guess what, most of the time (if not all the time), they’ll just end up throwing their parent’s hard earned money away, and they won’t receive ANYTHING that was promised from the loot box unless they hit that 1%, which is very, very slim.
So yeah, this lootbox is basically nothing more than a money-sucking device. Do you want to continue supporting this?

I don’t support it, just answering the question :))
Preston already does (stuff like) this on a daily basis so…

At least Preston gives out something all the time with his products, unlike the lootbox.
If I know anything about Roblox developers, if you tell them it’s possible, they will do it. OP won’t realize if it’s illegal until they get banned for trying the technique (unless roblox decides they like this new idea)
