Roblox has new rules.. (You could get banned)

Roblox Terms of Use Update

KreekCraft reviews Roblox’s updated Terms of Use, which he says take effect on November 1. He distinguishes changes he considers significant from online rumors.

Trading

The terms now explicitly state that suspicious trading—including trading or receiving stolen items—may lead to moderation at Roblox’s discretion. KreekCraft says buying or selling items for real money through third-party sites was already against Roblox’s rules; the update makes that prohibition clearer.

Country and Location Rules

The terms say users should access Roblox primarily from the country where their account is registered, and that misrepresenting that country may result in account deletion.

KreekCraft says ordinary travel should not get users banned. Roblox’s help information also says an account’s location can update over time after a move. He believes the rule is aimed at people using VPNs to bypass country-specific restrictions, though he notes that this is his interpretation.

Age and Parental Permission

The updated terms specify that users must be at least five years old to create an account. Users under 18 must create an account with a parent or legal guardian, who must accept the terms and authorize their use of Roblox. KreekCraft questions how Roblox would verify that this happens.

Age Verification for Communication

The terms now state that users must pass age verification before using Roblox communication features.

Arbitration

KreekCraft says the arbitration provision—which he describes as limiting individual and class-action lawsuits against Roblox—now applies to residents of Canada as well as the United States, except Quebec.

Creator Content and AI

Roblox’s creator license includes permission to use submitted content to develop, improve, or train AI and machine-learning models. KreekCraft says this provision was already in the terms, rather than a new change.

Other Changes

KreekCraft also mentions other updates, including tax-related provisions, that he considers unlikely to affect most users.
