Your child’s safety on Roblox

Roblox is the world’s largest gaming platform, created to give children a safe, fun, and creative space to play. For years, it has been a trusted place where millions of young players explore, build, and enjoy time with friends. That’s why it’s especially concerning that this safe environment was recently disrupted.

The good news is that Roblox responded immediately. The company has introduced advanced new safety measures designed to protect children and give parents peace of mind. These updates ensure that your child can continue to enjoy Roblox while you can feel confident about their safety online. Here are the most important improvements:

  • Age Verification – an optional feature that confirms a user’s age based on a scanned document or selfie. This ensures that the youngest players cannot access content meant for older users.

  • Abuse Reporting System – every user can easily report suspicious behavior using the in-game Report Abuse feature. Players can also block questionable users from their friends list.

  • Age Limits – the system automatically restricts access to certain content based on age. The youngest players only see games in the minimal category, while restricted content is available exclusively to verified players over 17.

  • Chat Filtering – AI-powered filters block inappropriate content in conversations, such as profanity, sexual content, or attempts to share personal information and external links.

  • Player Age Detection – if the system’s algorithm detects that a player is younger than claimed, their account will be restricted from features available only to users 13+.

  • Cooperation with Law Enforcement – Roblox immediately reports any suspicious incidents to law enforcement authorities.

  • Impersonation Detection – the system also detects attempts to impersonate minors or encourage contact outside the platform.

  • No Communication with Strangers – players under the age of 13 cannot send private messages or images to people outside their friends list.

  • 24/7 Moderation – a large team of experts, working hand-in-hand with AI, monitors content on the platform around the clock.

  • Content Filtering – inappropriate games (e.g., with sexual or violent themes) are quickly identified and removed from the platform within minutes of detection.

  • Content Maturity Ratings – every game on the platform is labeled with an age and maturity rating in one of four categories: minimal, mild, moderate, or restricted.

  • Roblox Sentinel System – a newly introduced AI system that detects potential threats to children in conversations and immediately alerts moderators.
