Roblox Unauthorized Charges: Refund Policy Guide

Verified November 6, 2026 · Status: live policy

Roblox has a “permissive refund policy” for unauthorized charges when you contact Customer Support before disputing with your card issuer — but if you dispute the charge first, Roblox cannot issue the refund due to the payment provider’s dispute process, so always contact Roblox Support first. Charges labeled “Xsolla*Roblox” on statements go to Xsolla’s support, not Roblox’s. Apple/iTunes, Microsoft Store, and Amazon charges have their own channels. Verified on 6 November 2026.

The critical rule — contact Support first

Roblox: “Once a charge has been disputed, a refund cannot be issued due to the payment provider’s dispute process.”

Order of operations:

1. Spot unauthorized charge on statement.
2. Contact Roblox Customer Support IMMEDIATELY (before disputing with your card issuer).
3. If Roblox refunds, the matter resolves without a chargeback.
4. If you dispute with the card issuer first, Roblox can’t refund — must go through dispute process.

Where to report by statement label

Information to provide when reporting

Roblox’s required info for credit card / PayPal / Google Play refund requests:

• List of charges by date and amount.
• Billing Name.
• Last four digits of the Credit/Debit Card used.
• PayPal account email address (if applicable).
• Google Play purchase numbers (format: GPA.###).
• Roblox username (if known).
• Attachments in .jpg or .png format only.

Roblox’s “permissive refund policy”

Roblox’s framing: “Whenever possible, we work with parents and customers directly as part of our permissive refund policy to provide a refund for unauthorized purchases.”

Specific scenarios covered:

• Child made purchase without parent permission.
• Account was compromised and purchases made by attacker.
• Payment card was stolen and used for Roblox.
• Family member made purchase without the account owner’s permission.

Roblox prefers to refund directly rather than face chargebacks — hence “permissive.” But some payment providers (third-party processors) require refunds through their own support channels, not Roblox’s.

Unauthorized charges are a violation

Roblox’s warning: “Unauthorized charges are a violation of our Terms of Use and may result in the permanent closure of the associated user account(s).”

This applies to:

• A user making purchases without the payment-account owner’s permission (e.g., child using parent’s card).
• Charge-backing legitimate purchases to recover Robux already spent.
• Making purchases with a stolen card.

Roblox’s policy aims to prevent abuse of the refund system.

Parent guidance

For parents dealing with unauthorized child purchases:

1. Change the payment account password (card issuer’s online portal).
2. Enable parental controls on Roblox (linked parent account or Parent mode).
3. Set monthly spending limits in Parental Controls.
4. Set spend notifications (linked parent account only).
5. Educate the child about the Terms of Use consequences.

Third-party platform refund windows

Each third-party processor has its own policy:

• Apple: 90-day refund window via reportaproblem.apple.com.
• Google Play: 48-hour refund window via Google Play Store.
• Microsoft Store: Case-by-case review at microsoft.com/refund.
• Amazon: 90-day refund review for digital goods.

Act fast — some windows are short.
