Gifting Robux on Roblox: Gift Links, Transfers, Limits
Roblox has two official ways to give someone Robux: a Request Robux gift link, where the player shares a link or QR code and an adult in the US buys a Robux package straight into their balance, and a direct transfer, which a Roblox Plus subscriber can send to any eligible user for free, within limits of 500 Robux a day and 1,000 a month (5,000 and 10,000 with 2-Step Verification in good standing). Both are final: gift purchases are non-refundable and transfers cannot be reversed. Under-16s need a linked parent account to send or receive, and transferred Robux can never be cashed out through DevEx.

The two methods side by side
| Gift link (Request Robux) | Transfer (Roblox Plus) | |
|---|---|---|
| Who pays | The gifter buys a Robux package with real money | Nobody; Robux move from one balance to another |
| Who can send | Anyone 18+ in the US with a verified phone number; no Roblox account needed | Roblox Plus subscribers who meet the age rules |
| Who can receive | A Roblox user 18+ in the US who created the link (feature is rolling out to select users, computer or web only) | Any user who meets the age rules; no subscription needed |
| Age rules | Requester 18+, gifter 18+ | 16+: Age Check completed; under 16: linked parent account approves every transfer; some regions require parent approval under 18 |
| Limits | Standard Robux packages, no Premium pricing, no bonus items | 500 Robux a day and 1,000 a month; 5,000 a day and 10,000 a month with 2-Step Verification and good standing |
| Where | Buy Robux page → Request Robux → share link or QR code | Recipient’s profile or the Buy Robux page → enter amount → Continue → Send |
| Reversal | Final sale, non-refundable | Final, cannot be cancelled or reversed |
| DevEx | Not stated | Received Robux are not eligible for DevEx; they can only be spent in Roblox |
Method 1: Request Robux gift link
- The player opens the Buy Robux page on desktop or web and selects Request Robux at the top.
- Roblox opens the Gift Robux landing page with a link and a QR code to copy or share.
- The gifter opens the link in a web browser (the Roblox app is not needed), sees the requester’s username and avatar, picks a package and a message, and selects Checkout.
- The gifter verifies a phone number with a code, adds payment details and pays. Prepaid cards are not accepted. A receipt goes to the email entered.
- The requester gets a stream notification and the Robux appear in their balance. A received gift cannot be rejected.
Roblox’s own warning in the article: gifters should not gift Robux to people they do not know personally, and anyone who paid through a spoofed link should contact Roblox Support with the details. Gift packages come at standard pricing, so no bonus Robux or bonus virtual item, and Premium members still pay the non-Premium price. Standard package prices are listed in our Robux prices by platform table.
Method 2: sending Robux as a Roblox Plus subscriber
- Open the recipient’s profile or the Buy Robux page and start a transfer.
- Enter the amount and select Continue, review the details, select Send.
- For senders under 16 a prompt asks the linked parent to review; the parent approves (sent) or rejects (cancelled immediately).
- The recipient gets a pending-transfer notification and selects Accept; the Robux land instantly and the status is visible in My Transactions.
- Recipients under 16 need their linked parent to approve every incoming transfer as well.
A transfer bounces back to the sender if the recipient does not accept it, if the parent account declines, or if no parent account is linked within 7 days. Robux sent to someone who has not finished the age requirements sit in Pending Robux in My Transactions and return to the sender after 7 days if the requirements are still unmet. Hitting the daily or monthly limit shows a pop-up; the limits are Roblox’s figures and the article notes they are subject to change. Turning on 2-Step Verification is the only lever that raises them.
Problems and what they mean
| Symptom | Likely cause (per Roblox) | Action |
|---|---|---|
| No Request Robux button | Feature is limited to select US users aged 18+, on computer or web | Check age on the account and try the website rather than the app |
| Gifter’s card declined | Prepaid cards are not accepted for gifts | Use a different, non-prepaid payment method |
| Cannot send a transfer | Sender is not a Roblox Plus subscriber, or is under 16 without a linked parent, or has hit the limit | Check subscription, link a parent account via parental controls, wait for the limit to reset |
| Transfer stuck in Pending | Recipient has not accepted, or has not completed Age Check / parent link | Recipient completes the requirement within 7 days or the Robux return |
| Received gift has no bonus item | Gift packages carry no bonus items or Premium pricing by design | Nothing to claim |
| Someone asks you to send Robux “to verify your account” | Scam: Roblox says it never asks you to send Robux for verification or any other reason | Do not send; transfers cannot be reversed |
| Want to cash out gifted Robux | Transferred Robux are excluded from DevEx | Spend them in Roblox; our Robux to USD page shows what they are worth at purchase prices only |
FAQ
Can you gift Robux to a friend on Roblox?
Yes, two ways: a Request Robux gift link that an adult in the US pays for, or a direct transfer from a Roblox Plus subscriber within the daily and monthly limits.
How much Robux can you send per day?
500 Robux a day and 1,000 a month by default; 5,000 a day and 10,000 a month with 2-Step Verification enabled and an account in good standing. Roblox says the limits may change.
Do you need Roblox Plus to receive Robux?
No. Only the sender needs Roblox Plus. The recipient must meet the age requirements: Age Check at 16+, or a linked parent account under 16.
Can a Robux gift or transfer be refunded?
No. Gift purchases are final sale and transfers cannot be cancelled or reversed once sent; only unaccepted or parent-rejected transfers return to the sender.
Can gifted Robux be exchanged for real money?
No. Robux received by transfer are not eligible for the Developer Exchange program and can only be spent inside Roblox.
Why can’t I see the Request Robux option?
It is available to select users in the US aged 18 or older, on computer or web only; it is not shown in the mobile app.
