Account Restrictions and Privacy Settings
Start by logging into your child’s Roblox account and navigating to Settings > Privacy. Here you can control who can message your child, who can follow them into games, and who can invite them to private servers. Set these to “Friends” or “No one” for maximum protection.
The Account Restrictions feature is particularly powerful – when enabled, it limits your child to a curated list of pre-approved experiences that Roblox has verified as appropriate for younger users. This essentially creates a walled garden of safer content.
Content Maturity and Age Verification
Roblox uses a content maturity system with different age brackets. For users under 13, the platform automatically applies stricter filtering. You can verify your child’s age through the account settings to ensure they’re seeing age-appropriate content.
The platform also offers different experience guidelines – “All Ages” content is suitable for everyone, while “9+” and “13+” experiences contain slightly more complex themes. Understanding these ratings helps you make informed decisions about what your child can access.
Communication Controls
Roblox’s chat filtering system automatically blocks inappropriate language, but you can add extra layers of protection. Disable chat entirely for very young children, or limit it to friends only for older kids who need some social interaction.
Consider turning off the ability to create and upload images, as this prevents your child from sharing personal information through custom decals or clothing items.
Spending and Purchase Controls
Set up spending notifications and limits through your payment method settings. You can require approval for all purchases, set monthly spending limits, or disable in-game purchases entirely.
Review the account’s transaction history regularly to monitor what your child is buying and ensure they understand the value of Robux (Roblox’s virtual currency).
Monitoring and Regular Check-ins
Enable email notifications for friend requests, messages, and other account activity. This gives you visibility into your child’s social interactions on the platform.
Regularly review your child’s friend list and recent games played. Have open conversations about their online experiences and remind them never to share personal information with other players.
For families looking to explore gaming together in a safer environment, there are many excellent alternatives that offer similar creative and social experiences with built-in safety features.
Who this is for: Parents and guardians wanting to create a safer Roblox experience for their children.
