All Kinds of
Options

Roblox offers players more options than just
about any other video game. Players can
choose from millions of different Roblox
games to play. They can also adjust every
detail of their characters looks. Making
these decisions is a big part of the fun.
Players express themselves with fun
fashions. You can even design your own
games and clothing if you get an idea.

What Are Robux?

When you start playing Roblox , you only
have a few choices for designing your
avatar . And you might find that you cant
play certain games. Youll need some Robux
if you want to explore everything Roblox
has to offer. Robux are Roblox s in-game
money. You can use them in all kinds
of ways.

Online Shopping

Choose Catalog from the main Roblox
page. Here, youll see all kinds of clothes,
body parts, and other objects. You can
spend Robux to purchase these items. Then
you can use the items to customize your
avatar. Some things in the catalog are made
by the official Roblox team. Others are
made by players like you!

Tiny Transactions

Most things in the catalog cost just a few Robux each. These are
examples of microtransactions . Microtransactions are often very
cheap. But remember that the costs can add up over time.

In-Game
Purchases

You can also spend Robux in most of the
millions of games on Roblox . Some games
require you to pay Robux before you can
start playing. Others let you spend Robux to
unlock new options during a game. For
example, you might buy new cars in a
racing game. Or you might buy pets that
follow your character around in an
adventure game.

Buying Robux

You can download Roblox and start playing
for free. But youll need to spend real
money if you want to use Robux. For $0.99,
you can buy 80 Robux directly from the
Roblox app. Spending $9.99 gets you 800
Robux. You can also buy Robux gift cards
from stores or order them online. These
come in all kinds of amounts.

Always Ask Permission

Never buy Robux without asking your parents first. You could get
in big trouble with your parents for spending too much money. It
is also against the official Roblox rules.

A Monthly
Allowance

Another way to get Robux is to sign up
for a Roblox Premium account. This costs
$4.99, $9.99, or $19.99 per month. In return,
you will get a fresh supply of Robux every
month. You will also get a 10 percent
discount anytime you decide to buy
additional Robux. This can be a good value
if you already spend a lot of time and
money on Roblox .

Making Money

Want to earn Robux without spending any
real money? Try creating something in
Roblox . Make a new game. Other players
might spend Robux to play it. Or make
some clothes for the catalog. Other players
might buy them. When other players spend
Robux on your creations, you get to keep
some of it!

Turning Robux into Cash

Roblox players who are 13 or older can turn their Robux into real
money. Some people have even built careers as professional
Roblox creators.

Spend Carefully

You should set a budget before you start
spending Robux. You cant simply buy
everything that looks cool. This would cost a
lot of money. It would be hard to figure out
how much you spent overall. Instead,
decide how much you want to spend each
week or each month. Then stick to your
budget. Dont spend more than your limit,
no matter what happens!

Avoid the Hype

Think hard before you spend your Robux. Are
you buying something because you really want
it? Or are you buying something because
everyone else is doing it? Its easy to get caught
up in the excitement of a popular item or game.
But it is better to follow your own tastes. There
is something for everyone in Roblox . Seek out
your own style!
