A Company Facing Mounting Legal Action

Roblox is one of the world’s most popular gaming platforms, allowing users to create, share, and monetize digital games. While marketed as a safe and educational platform for children, numerous lawsuits and state investigations claim that Roblox’s systems have allowed harm, abuse, and exploitation to flourish—both on and off the platform.

Across the United States, families, advocacy groups, and state attorneys general are taking legal action against Roblox for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Enabling child predators and sexual exploitation
  • Failing to protect minors through adequate safety measures
  • Allowing illegal gambling and virtual currency misuse
  • Creating addictive reward systems targeting children
  • Violating privacy laws protecting minors
  • Financially exploiting young developers

Child Safety and Sexual Exploitation Lawsuits

The most serious claims against Roblox involve child grooming, sexual abuse, and exploitation. These lawsuits allege that Roblox has knowingly failed to provide the safeguards necessary to protect children from predators who use the platform to target minors.

Grooming and Exploitation

Dozens of lawsuits filed across Florida, Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, and California describe situations in which adult predators used Roblox’s chat and friend systems to locate and groom children. In many cases, predators allegedly used Roblox to build trust before moving conversations to off-platform apps such as Discord or Snapchat—where they coerced minors into sending sexually explicit images or videos (CSAM).

Real-World Harm

Several cases connect Roblox activity to real-world harm, including abductions, sexual assaults, and at least one reported suicide involving a teen allegedly extorted by a predator he met on the platform.

Inadequate Safety Measures

Parents and state officials claim Roblox has failed to enforce effective age verification, content moderation, and parental controls despite promoting itself as a safe, family-friendly environment.

State-Level Action

  • Kentucky and Louisiana Attorneys General have filed civil suits targeting Roblox’s safety failures.
  • Florida’s Attorney General has opened a criminal investigation into potential child endangerment.
  • Additional multi-state efforts are underway to coordinate investigations into the platform’s practices.

Other Major Lawsuits and Legal Issues

Addiction and Psychological Manipulation

Some families have accused Roblox of intentionally designing addictive systems that exploit children’s developing brains through variable rewards, in-game purchases, and social pressure mechanics. Lawsuits allege these tactics have led to anxiety, compulsive gaming, and behavioral harm in minors.

Illegal Gambling

A class-action lawsuit claims Roblox enables third-party gambling operations, where minors can use the platform’s virtual currency, Robux, to place bets or participate in unregulated casinos hosted on external websites.

Privacy Violations

A proposed class action alleges that Roblox violates the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) by collecting and monetizing children’s personal data without obtaining verifiable parental consent.

Developer Exploitation

Roblox faces criticism and potential litigation for profiting disproportionately from young developers, some of whom are minors. The company reportedly retains a majority of the revenue from user-created games, despite marketing the opportunity as a “path to entrepreneurship.”

Retaliation Against Critics

In 2021, Roblox sued a YouTuber known for exposing online predators on the platform—a case widely viewed as an attempt to silence criticism. The lawsuit sparked backlash and was eventually settled out of court.

How Roblox’s Systemic Failures Harm Families

The lawsuits collectively reveal a pattern of corporate negligence that prioritizes profits and engagement over safety. By allowing young users to interact with adults, share private information, and engage in unsupervised content creation, Roblox allegedly fosters a dangerous digital environment.

Key allegations include:

  • Lax moderation of private chats and friend requests
  • Failure to ban repeat predator accounts
  • Algorithms that expose minors to sexual or violent content
  • Inadequate parental control systems
  • Exploitative monetization practices targeting children

These failures have led to real-world consequences—leaving families devastated and children traumatized.
