How to gift Robux to friends

To gift Robux to friends, buy a Roblox gift card and send them the code, or send Robux straight to their account if you subscribe to Roblox Plus.

This guide covers both routes, the Request Robux gift link, group payouts, the age and transfer limits Roblox sets, how to confirm delivery and the scams that target people looking for free Robux.

Step-by-step guide: how to send Robux or gift cards securely

A Roblox gift card works for any friend, in any country, with no subscription on either side. Use official Roblox platforms only: roblox.com, Roblox's own gift card shop, or a retailer that sells the physical card.

1. Buy a physical Roblox gift card from a store, or a digital card from roblox.com/shopgiftcards in a web browser.
2. Keep the receipt and send the PIN to your friend privately, never in a public chat.
3. Ask your friend to sign in at roblox.com/redeem in a web browser with the account that should receive the Robux.
4. Have them type the code into the text box and click Redeem.
5. If the card added Roblox Credit instead of Robux, have them select Get Robux and then Buy on the same page.

Robux bought with a gift card include up to 25% more Robux than the same purchase in the mobile apps, so the card stretches further than an app purchase.

Methods to gift Robux: official and unofficial options compared

Roblox documents four official ways to get Robux into a friend's account. Everything else, from "free Robux" sites to account sharing, is unofficial and puts both accounts at risk.

Your situation	Use this	Why
Your friend is in any country, any age	Roblox gift card	No subscription needed and codes redeem worldwide
You subscribe to Roblox Plus	Send Robux from your balance	Instant, no platform fee, recipient needs no Plus
An adult friend in the US asks you for Robux	Request Robux gift link	You pay by card without a Roblox account
You run a Roblox group (community) with earned funds	One-time group payout	Sends group Robux to members in one batch
A site offers free Robux, a generator or a trade for your password	Nothing	Unofficial, against Roblox policy and a common scam

Robux gifting requirements: age, region and transfer limits

Each official method has its own rules. Check the row for your method before you pay, because Robux purchases and transfers are final.

Method	Who can send	Who can receive	Limits
Gift card	Anyone who can buy the card	Any account; US terms require 18+ or a parent's consent to redeem	One card redeemed at a time, no expiry
Roblox Plus transfer	Plus subscribers; 16+ pass an Age Check, under 16 need a linked parent account	Any account; under 16 need parent approval for each transfer	500 Robux a day and 1,000 a month, or 5,000 and 10,000 with 2-Step Verification
Request Robux link	Gifters 18+ living in the US who verify a phone number	Select US users aged 18+ on computer or web	Standard packages only, no prepaid cards
Group payout	Group owner or a role with Manage and spend group revenue	Members of the group who pass eligibility checks	Limited by group funds; new groups may be locked

Roblox gift cards: buying a physical or digital card for a friend

Buying gift cards is the safe route for most people and Roblox's long-standing official method. The card holds a fixed value, so you control exactly how much you give.

1. Choose a physical card at a retailer, or open roblox.com/shopgiftcards for a digital e-gift card.
2. Pick the value you want to give and complete checkout.
3. For a digital card, keep the confirmation that holds the PIN; Roblox sells these through its partner CashStar.
4. For a physical card, keep the receipt and photograph the front and back before you hand it over.
5. Give the PIN only to the friend it is for, ideally in person or through a family member.

Most cards add Roblox Credit when redeemed. Amazon gift cards and Party Pack gift cards add Robux directly, and US cards never expire.

How to redeem a Roblox gift card at roblox.com/redeem

Your friend redeems the card in a web browser. The standard Roblox mobile app and consoles have no redeem option; only the app on Samsung Galaxy devices has a Redeem tile under More.

1. Open roblox.com/redeem on a PC, Mac or phone browser and sign in.
2. Type the PIN into the text box and click Redeem.
3. Wait for the confirmation message that the credit or item was added.
4. If the page shows Available Credit, select Get Robux to pre-select the largest package the Credit covers.
5. Click Buy and confirm; choose Buy again to convert any leftover Credit, or Cancel to keep it.
6. Use Convert Credit to Robux for a small balance that does not cover a full package.

Codes redeem in any country and the value converts to the account's local currency. Credit cannot be combined with another payment method in one purchase.

How to send Robux to a friend with Roblox Plus

Sending Robux used to be the cautionary path because Roblox had no direct transfer. Roblox now lets Roblox Plus subscribers send Robux from their own balance with no platform fee, and the friend does not need Plus.

1. Complete the Age Check if you are 16 or older, or link a parent account if you are under 16.
2. Open your friend's user profile, or the Buy Robux page, and start a Robux transfer.
3. Enter the amount and select Continue.
4. Review the recipient and amount carefully, because transfers cannot be cancelled or reversed.
5. Select Send.
6. Ask your friend to select Accept on the pending transfer notification.

The standard limit is 500 Robux a day and 1,000 a month. Turn on 2-Step Verification to raise it to 5,000 a day and 10,000 a month while your account is in good standing.

The gift feature for Robux: request Robux with a gift link

Roblox's Request Robux feature works the other way round: your friend creates a link and you pay for a Robux package that lands in their account. It is limited to select US users, and both people must be 18 or older.

1. Your friend opens the Buy Robux page on a computer or the web and selects Request Robux at the top.
2. They share the link or QR code with you directly.
3. Open the link in a web browser and check that the username and avatar match your friend.
4. Choose a Robux package and add a message.
5. Verify your phone number with the code Roblox sends, then enter a credit or debit card or another non-prepaid payment method.
6. Confirm the purchase; Roblox emails you a receipt and adds the Robux to your friend's balance.

You do not need a Roblox account to pay. Gifted packages use standard pricing with no bonus Robux or item, and the gift is final sale.

How to give Robux to friends with Roblox group payouts

A Roblox group, now called a community, can pay its own Robux to members. The Robux must already be group funds, such as revenue from group games or items, not your personal balance.

1. Make sure your friend has joined the group.
2. Open the group on Creator Hub at create.roblox.com and go to Finances > Payouts.
3. Click Send Robux.
4. Pick your friend from the recipient list, or upload a .csv file with userId and payoutInRobux columns.
5. Set the amount for each recipient and confirm the two-step verification challenge.

Only the owner or a role with Manage and spend group revenue can send payouts, and that permission requires two-step verification. Payouts may be locked for new groups or groups without enough funds, and very large payouts can carry a wait of several hours.

How to confirm Robux gift delivery on Roblox

Confirm delivery before you assume a gift arrived. Each method leaves a record your friend can check.

1. Gift card: your friend sees a confirmation message on roblox.com/redeem, and any Credit appears as Available Credit under the Redeem button.
2. Plus transfer: your friend accepts the notification and the Robux appear in their balance instantly.
3. Pending transfer: the amount shows under Pending Robux in My Transactions until an Age Check or parent approval is done.
4. Request Robux link: you receive an emailed receipt and your friend gets a notification as the Robux appear in their balance.
5. Group payout: the payment shows in your friend's transaction history as a group payout.

Roblox gift card or Robux transfer not working: fixes

Roblox gift card code is not working

A character in the PIN was misread or the code was typed in the app.

1. Redeem at roblox.com/redeem in a web browser, not in the standard mobile app or on a console.
2. Check look-alike characters: 0 and O, 1 and I, 2 and Z, 5 and S, 6 and G or Q, 8 and B.
3. Enter one card at a time.
4. If it still fails, contact Roblox Support with the PIN, serial number, receipt and photos of the card.

Gift card Credit is not showing in the Roblox app

Roblox Credit can only be viewed and spent in a web browser.

1. Open roblox.com/redeem in a browser and look for Available Credit under Redeem.
2. Select Get Robux or Convert Credit to Robux to turn the Credit into Robux.
3. Refresh the page so the Robux balance updates.

Sent Robux are pending or came back

The friend has not accepted, passed the Age Check or had a parent approve within 7 days.

1. Ask your friend to select Accept on the transfer notification.
2. If they are under 16, ask their parent to link an account and approve the transfer.
3. Check Pending Robux in My Transactions; after 7 days the Robux return to you.

There is no way to send Robux from your account

Only Roblox Plus subscribers can send Robux, and you may have hit a limit.

1. Subscribe to Roblox Plus, or use a gift card instead.
2. Complete the Age Check or link a parent account.
3. If a limit pop-up appears, wait for the daily or monthly limit to reset, or turn on 2-Step Verification.

Unofficial Robux gifting methods: third-party sites, scams and risks

Unofficial methods are where people lose Robux and accounts. Beware of any site or player that offers Robux outside roblox.com, a Roblox gift card or a group you trust.

Unofficial offer	What actually happens
"Free Robux" generators and survey sites	Roblox states there is no Robux generator; these sites collect logins or personal data
Sharing your password so a friend can "send" Robux	Anyone with access can change the password, spend currency and trade items
Requests to send Robux to verify your account	Roblox never asks for this, and sent Robux cannot be reversed
Fake Request Robux links from strangers	Roblox warns gifters to pay only people they know and to report scam links
Discounted codes from resellers	US gift cards cannot be resold, and Roblox issues no refunds on cards

Legal and safety considerations: avoiding Robux scams and respecting Roblox policies

Rule	What it means for a Robux gift
Gift card terms	Cards have no cash value, cannot be resold and are non-refundable
Age rules	US cards need a redeemer 18+ or a parent's consent; Plus transfers need an Age Check or parent approval
Final sale	Request Robux gifts, Plus transfers and completed trades cannot be reversed
Account sharing	Roblox does not encourage it; give Robux through an official method instead
Scam reports	Contact Roblox Support with details if a link or user scammed you

Gifting Robux to friends FAQ

Can you gift Robux to friends?

Yes. Roblox Plus subscribers can send Robux directly from their balance, and anyone can buy a Roblox gift card and give the code. Select US adults can also pay for Robux through a friend's Request Robux link, and group owners can pay members from group funds.

How do you gift Robux to friends on PC?

On a PC, buy a digital card at roblox.com/shopgiftcards and send the PIN, or open your friend's profile and send Robux if you have Roblox Plus. Your friend redeems a card at roblox.com/redeem in a web browser and clicks Redeem.

How do you gift Robux to friends for free?

You cannot. Roblox states there is no Robux generator and Robux cannot be earned for free. The closest is a Roblox Plus transfer, which carries no platform fee, but you still give Robux from a balance you paid for or earned.

Can I gift someone my Robux?

Yes, if you subscribe to Roblox Plus. Plus lets you send Robux from your own balance to any account, up to 500 a day and 1,000 a month, or 5,000 and 10,000 with 2-Step Verification. Without Plus, a gift card is the official alternative.

How do you gift Robux to friends online?

Buy a digital Roblox gift card at roblox.com/shopgiftcards and send the PIN privately. In the US, a friend who is 18 or older can also share a Request Robux link, and you pay for a package in your browser without a Roblox account.

How do you gift Robux to someone who is not a friend?

Roblox's methods work for any account, but Roblox warns against gifting Robux to people you do not know personally. Transfers and gifts are final, so a stranger who asks for Robux, a password or a verification payment is a scam risk.

How do you gift Robux to friends in 2026?

Gift cards still work, and since Roblox Plus launched on April 30, 2026, Plus subscribers can send Robux directly. Premium memberships are no longer sold, so a Premium gift is replaced by a gift card your friend can spend on Plus.

Can a child under 16 receive gifted Robux?

Yes, with a parent. A Plus transfer to a user under 16 needs a linked parent account and approval of each transfer. If the parent does not link or approve within 7 days, the Robux return to the sender.

My verdict: the best way to gift Robux to friends

Give a Roblox gift card unless you already subscribe to Roblox Plus; if you do, send Robux from your friend's profile and turn on 2-Step Verification first. A gift card needs no subscription, works in every country and adds bonus Robux, while a Plus transfer is instant and fee-free. Both keep passwords private, and neither carries the risks of third-party sites.
