Here's what Roblox actually owes you, what their policy quietly says, and how to escalate — by country — if they ignore the request.

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 right
    Refund 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 actions
    FTC 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 Act
    Credit 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 2013
    Full 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 Standards
    For 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/EU
    14-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 escalation
    EU 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 chargeback
    Visa/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 Protection
    If 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.

    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,

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.
