Roblox is a very fun game for young kids to play and for even older people to create content and meet new friends, Even though there are sometimes when people are mean and don't understand that not everyone is like them so they just mess around trying to get a reaction, this is the main reason why I am giving Roblox 4 stars.
Firstly I am a player who`s been currently playing for 5 long years and I`m here to share an experience that has just happened to me for the first time. I`m currently writing this 20 mins after the event. First let me start overall when you overlook the major problems its a really smooth business with plenty of splendid games. But a main problem is banning...it`s okay to ban but to ban without knowing the reason is very rude and unfair for the banned person. They might have been bullied talked back(maybe not insult but question why the player did ----(something bad example bully or insult) and get reported and banned that is very rude and unacceptable i can`t stand unsensible movements that you did not even think about or look into properly into, sure it may not be your job to check the chat in a game that caused them to be banned before banning them so you know if they have a very good reason for saying something. The reason i am unable to screen shot is because i am playing on a laptop and i was not with any type of other device,plus i got banned veryt quickly.
Nothing to say about the game, but what really drives me mad are these Roblox Hack which are all fake!
I find that my kid is using one and he got infected by virus. I suggest to read detailed explenation here:

Roblox does NOT care for their customers. I've spent soo much on my childrens accounts and every single time i've contacted them, they've messed up what the message was about, they always point the finger back at you if a game takes your money and you didn't get what you purchased. Or like recent-My daughters account was hacked and they were talking to me like I had the other account hacked and I was just giving my password away, like NO people freaking listen, do something about that specific hacker rather than just sluffing it off. Too many times people on roblox have found a way to rip her off, or make her accidentally purchase a stupid thousand of robux dollars worth $30+ in real money- tshirt, there's never a "are you sure" button so she can run. Many people tag team to lure your kid to leave there somewhat safe game and go to theirs and then they ask them to re sign in and take their money and take their account. You're safer buying a console than playing online!

I bought two gift cards and both weren't able to redeem in the game you reach customer service giving a dumb response telling it already redeem and they aren't able to help me out. That you're better just bot reaching customer service. They can't help you out. One was 25.00 and the other one was 10.00.

Used to like this game a lot but roblox started removing a lot of features that I enjoyed and games on roblox just seem to get boring after playing for a while (I mainly play fps's so I maybe that's why) still a good game, just wish it was more like the old roblox and if it was more teen related rather than making it very kid-friendly.

Roblox is pretty good the games are cool and its fun to play with friends, however there's so many falls and downsides to it. The first downside is Robux and no i'm not talking about how expensive it is because I don't have a problem with that its just the fact that when an item gets content deleted you can no longer wear that item and it becomes a waste of money because they don't give the robux back. Moderation sucks you'll get banned for the smallest things due to the bad moderation team. They'll ban people for doing harmless thing like saying "hello." but they wont ban racists or even pedos. Its also 100% not for kids under 13 in my opinion.

Roblox is a very fun platform for ages 8-18. Many parents believe Roblox is inappropriate, but they're wrong. We can even make our own games on Roblox, which takes a lot of practice. The filter in this game even stops users from cursing. It's also free for everyone. I reccomend it for all gamers. We also should avoid ODers (Online Daters) who are playing.

Purchased robux for my 9yo son. Never received. Contacted them. They gave me instructions to tap the purchase again but don't press confirm. Followed there instructions and got charged again as there was no confirmation. There dodgy instructions tricked me into buying nothing twice. Asked for a refund but instead of giving me a refund they just send another dodgy set of instructions saying uninstall and start again. Nope didn't work. Never again. Now I need to cancel my sons subscription because I will not deal with rip offs. Down money and 1 upset son. Thanks roblox you such balls.

I missed when Roblox was a game for many people to enjoy, just playing survive the disasters and zombies. But that is all gone. Now there are bots everywhere. This place has lost its charm, and it has problems with caring for the people in the community, online daters are just horrible. Online dating has caused danger for many children on the site. Due to it looking blocky and colorful, children think it's a game for them. But it's bait.
Just. Please. Return to your old ways Roblox. Please...
Tip for consumers:
DON"T BUY ANYTHING!!!
it will just be a waste, you don't need to buy all this junk.

Roblox support doesn't even help you. When I got locked out of my account, they said they needed proof and I gave them the email and the username and even asked if they wanted the password to my account. I sended an from my email to them too. But in the end, they said: We're sorry but we're unable to provide you with any further information or response regarding this inquiry.

I've been playing this game since I was 12. I got banned recently because I fired back at a troll saying homophobic stuff and he reported me. I sent in an appeal the same day I found the ban and none of the answers given to me by the automatic responses were helpful. I doubt they will actually respond because of how crappy their customer service and moderation system is. They are very picky choosey with who they ban and what they ban you for. They won't ban a user for a documented cyber bullying incident WITH EVIDENCE AND RECEIPTS but they'll ban you for defending yourself against a homophobe and you just happened to say a goofy insult to them that just so happened to violate their policies? Ridiculous. Let's be real, every video game platform geared toward kids is going to have inappropriate material on it. That's just how the internet is, unfortunately. Do better, Roblox. This site is too nostalgic for me to just give it up, but I'm getting there. Minecraft is better anyways.

Very poor customer service you only get automated responses. Recently I purchased robux but I didn't receive it and when I raised the issue they gave me a run around response to contact google they haven't received the payment and when I contacted google it was the same told to contact roblox despite me providing receipt of payment to google for the purchase of robux till now I haven't received my purchase or refund. If there was a zero for the rating I would give them and I wouldn't recommend roblox to parents or anyone.

Really, REALLY bad.
I used to play ROBLOX. That is, until it turned to rubbish.
The community is TERRIBLE. Everyone fights over which game is better- blockland, roblox, or minecraft. And every post I made on the forums was flamed in a matter of seconds. Even, worse, the moderators/admins don't even care about this.

My son got banned. After playing the game for over 5 years. He invested his money into it. The couldn't give a detailed explanation as to why he was banned and refused to reinstate his account and give him a warning

Do not spend your money on in game purchases.

The games on Roblox are unoriginal, you either have games that are exactly the same of another game off Roblox or developers who do not know how to make a proper game where games are not enjoyable as any players can ruin the game as long as they please.
Roblox allows developers to make money from unoriginal ideas.
Moderators are unprofessional. They may falsely ban people if they do not like you or if you haven't broken the TOS, also doing anything out of Roblox can get you banned even though it states that they are not responsible for anything that happens outside of Roblox. Few years ago, they removed the feature of having to not need an email to register which made a lot of people create alt accounts, Roblox stated that they cannot handle a lot of accounts yet they make ridiculous decisions.
It's a decent platform however the moderators are the problem. And the game developers on the site are egoistic, they think they are better than everyone because they made a game.

I give this game a 2 out of stars, because it's not fun to play anymore. They are also are bad at moderating games/ players. I am sUPER sick of scams going on the website. Its also expensive. People are bullying noobs. Please fix this game. And Im NOT coming back to this game never again. I am sick of tired of this,
Roblox just wants parent's to buy their game to get money.
They also don't care if you have problems. MAKE YOUR GAME BETTER!

To me, these prices for Robux are reasonable. To me, $100 for 10,000 Robux makes sense, since almost all of the game passes on Roblox are at least below 500. This also makes the $10 for 800 or 1000 reasonable. Refunding might not be easy, but it is possible.
Tip for consumers:
Don't spend al of your Robux on a single game. It's not worth it.

The games that kids play on this platform are fraught with scams and cheats and Roblox continues to take no responsibility for their action sayin, "reach out to the developer". When Roblox takes the parents money for Robux and kids (my daughter is 9) who use them gets scammed, that is Roblox's responsibility to make sure children are not taken advantage of. They hide behind their "terms of use" which states that we agree not to take them to court when we purchase the Robux. Let it be known that Roblox allows this kind of behavior and will not remedy anything.

I agree with Kyle T. Roblox is a safe, easy to use website that has a high level of imagination. Smaller kids can just play games that people have made, and older kids can chat in the games with peers or make their own levels to share in the community. The only reason this site does not get a ten is because it's download file is so virus-ridden that it crashes your computer half the time you download it. I've seeen numerous complaints about the download file on their wiki. I've noticed another problem the file has is that after downloading it, the file becomes embbeded into your computer and is a nucience to get rid of. Overall, I give this site an 8.5

Awesome but, why is ROBLOX so money hungry now?
Oders running around having, well you know what I mean...
Scammers going crazy now that tix are gone but a good thing is the new convert to robux button. It is the only way to get free robux
And fun games.

This game is really great, the customer service is not horrible as I was able to get my old account back which did not have an email connected. As well as that, roblox is monetized, yes but free users can play roblox as well. It is a bit sad that TIX and guests were removed, and lots of things that have happened, like scam bots, filter, broken gears that makes the game feel bad. But at the same time, roblox has done good, like Make A Wish for numerous people, and making R15, which makes roblox more realistic but still blocky.
Rthro honestly isn't that terrible, but it can break numerous games.
It is generally a good game.

The people using this game platform( This includes the youtubers), they are not that bad. Some people just put scare stories on the internet. Games are really good, which means that you are usually with other people (99.******* percent of the time not a hacker or online rapist) are usually playing with you.

Might be imitators of the real games ; watch out.

Parents BEWARE. ROBLOX received my credit info without my permission; After explaining issue company appeared to be helping and sending refund. After a year of broken promises of a refund and that they would stop charging my account. They continued to state they were sending a refund and stop charging my account.
Received no refund and had to cancel my card so company could not continue to take my money.
