The short answer
Roblox's official position is that all subscription payments (Premium and Plus) and Robux purchases are non-refundable. However, Roblox operates a 'permissive refund policy' for unauthorised charges — mainly kids buying without a parent's consent — for card, PayPal and Google Play charges. Apple, Xbox, PlayStation, Meta Quest, Samsung and Amazon purchases must be refunded by the store, not Roblox. Contact Roblox support BEFORE disputing the charge with your bank, or you lose the direct-refund route.
Or let yoink chase the refund.

“Refunds, Transfers, and Withdrawals: Subscriptions are non-refundable and non-transferable. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to waive any statutory rights that may otherwise entitle you to a refund, such as any right to withdraw or "cooling off" period that may be available after your initial purchase (for example, a 14-day period for those in the European Union).”

What you can claim, by region
Consumer law varies by where you live. The strongest hook for your country is the one to lead with when you contact the company — pick the one that applies and quote it in your email.
United States
- Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA)Dispute any credit-card charge in writing within 60 days.
For US credit-card payments, the FCBA gives you 60 days from the statement date to dispute a Roblox charge in writing. Your card issuer is required to investigate and may withhold the disputed amount during the process.
- California ARL refund rightRefund if cancel was blocked or unclear.
If Roblox made it hard to cancel under California ARL, you’re entitled to a refund of charges taken since the obstruction. Multiple class actions (including against Adobe + Hulu) have set the precedent.
- FTC enforcement actionsFTC has won refunds against subscription dark-patterns.
The FTC has secured $100M+ in refunds from companies running dark-pattern cancel flows (Amazon Prime, Vonage). Document Roblox’s flow, file at reportfraud.ftc.gov.
United Kingdom
- Section 75, Consumer Credit ActCredit card issuer is jointly liable. £100-£30,000.
For UK credit-card charges between £100 and £30,000, your card issuer is jointly liable with Roblox for any breach. Call your bank, say “Section 75 claim”, send evidence. Usually resolved in 2-4 weeks.
- Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013Full refund within the 14-day window.
Inside 14 days of starting any Roblox subscription, you’re entitled to a full refund of any payment taken — no questions, no policy override.
- Citizens Advice + Trading StandardsFor repeated bad-faith refusals.
Free escalation lane: file with Citizens Advice (08082231133), they pass it to Trading Standards. Slow (8-12 weeks) but creates a paper trail Roblox can’t ignore.
European Union
- Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU14-day withdrawal across all EU member states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw and recover any payment within 14 days of subscription start. Mirrored in local law in every EU country.
- ECC-Net cross-border escalationEU Consumer Centre network mediates against EU sellers.
If Roblox is based in another EU country, your local European Consumer Centre will mediate the dispute for free. List of national contacts at commission.europa.eu.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackVisa/Mastercard chargeback works everywhere they do.
Open a chargeback for “subscription not cancelled” or “services not as described” — your bank initiates, Roblox has ~45 days to defend. Works regardless of where Roblox is headquartered.
- PayPal Buyer ProtectionIf you paid via PayPal, open a dispute.
PayPal’s Buyer Protection covers “item not as described” — applies to subscription services that didn’t deliver. Resolution typically within 20 days.

Subject:
Refund Request — [your account email]Send this body
Hi Roblox team, I'm writing to request a refund for my recent Roblox subscription charge. Under applicable consumer-protection law (the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, EU Directive 2011/83/EU, or US state auto-renewal laws — whichever applies in my jurisdiction), I'm exercising my right to cancel and to recover the payment in full. Please confirm by reply that the cancellation has taken effect and that the refund will be processed to my original payment method. If your policy allows a pro-rata refund for any unused service, I'd appreciate that being applied here. Best, [your name]
Wait 7-14 days, then escalate
If you haven’t heard back in 14 days, see “If they refuse” below — Section 75 is the next stop.
Refund FAQ for Roblox
Officially no — Roblox's Subscription Terms state memberships are non-refundable and you waive statutory refund rights (including the EU 14-day withdrawal period) to the maximum extent permitted by law. In practice, Roblox operates a 'permissive refund policy' for unauthorised charges (e.g. a child using a parent's card). Contact Roblox support at info@roblox.com **before** disputing the charge with your bank — once disputed, Roblox can no longer refund directly.
