How on earth do I buy Robux????

25 replies

TsunamiOfShit · 29/09/2017 18:28

We're about to have a raging tantrum in this household soon if I do not figure out how to purchase Robux. All week I've promised DS he would get them today and now they seem impossible to buy???

I've tried logging in through the xbox to buy them, but I need to change the adult settings to be able to do that and I have no idea how to.

I've also tried logging into his Roblox account on my laptop, but all prices are showing in dollars and it says I'm inputting my phone number incorrectly so cannot buy them there either.

Have tried googling for gift cards but can't find any.

Any other ideas before the meltdown?

DS says you press Robux on the top blue menu before you've logged into a game then buy from there.

PavoReal · 29/09/2017 18:34

I think you have to buy them in USD? I've only done it once but that's how I did it. Good luck!

Thanks, I've tried the top Bly bar but that's where it takes me to the USD page.

I can't pay in USD because my phone number is wrong.

Account settings are set to UK

I tried to buy someone for dd and kept getting error messages. I contacted customer services and they were no use.
In the end dd just gave up asking.

I've only ever bought from the website so not sure if it's the same on Xbox. I believe the accounts are linked so you should be able to buy on the website anyway. If you pay via PayPal it usually converts it to gbp before you confirm.

We have bought gift cards from WH Smith before but I don't see them often.

My dds like roblox (supervised) I can buy off the laptop, usd change before purchase to gbp. TBH the Xbox one is pretty pants.
You can play many ways on the laptop without having to purchase any roblox coins, they earn money to buy things they want mostly and I've only purchased things with their birthday money.
If you're really stuck, game sell roblox gift cards.

LunarGirl · 29/09/2017 18:41

Have you also tried a different phone number or format? As in with spaces/without or adding +44 instead of the 0 at the beginning?

ILoveMillhousesDad · 29/09/2017 18:41

I always buy dd robux in dollars. It gets taken out my bank, plus a few pence for a transaction fee.

Thank you! It worked when I paid via PayPal instead of debit card. :-)

I can relax now. He's worked so hard all week to earn these Robux so really didn't want to have to disappoint him.

Although I do it on pc, so maybe format is different

LunarGirl · 29/09/2017 18:47

Oh I'm glad that worked! Bloody roblox, eh? Grin

Make sure you're up to date with internet safety stuff OP. It's very open.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 29/09/2017 18:58

Yes, I'm sure they are safety aware. Dd is not allowed to accept friend requests off anyone but school friends etc., and I check with their parents for their username.

I disagree though that it is 'very' open. I find it well moderated. If you eter your details and under the age of 13, they are only allowed on certain games.

Swear words and sexual words are automatically turned into hashtags and any word that insinuates anyone is asking a personal question, is usually hashtagged too.

I'm not saying it's perfect, by any means, but I do think it's one of the better moderated ones.

Aderyn17 · 29/09/2017 19:06

My one criticism of it is that it charges you to change your username. DC's friend made up an odd name for DC's account and they can't change it until I pay for robux which isn't happening anytime soon

I think it is quite safe so long as you only allow your dc to friend people they actually know at school.

Fresh8008 · 29/09/2017 19:07

Agree Roblox is one of the better games.

Umm, just start a new account with a new name. Its free.

Aderyn17 · 29/09/2017 20:19

Dd says she has spent money on that account. Is the money/purchases transferable?

Haggisfish · 29/09/2017 21:21

No, they aren't. Does it charge you? Dd seems to change her username without being charged...will have to check!

Aderyn17 · 29/09/2017 21:35

Thanks

Haggisfish · 29/09/2017 22:38

Actually, I was wrong sorry-dd says you can't change username.

Aderyn17 · 30/09/2017 08:50

Thanks for checking anyway

SantaClauz · 22/12/2019 15:04
