Staying Safe on Roblox
Staying safe online
Setting privacy and safety controls
Roblox is a gaming platform where you can play games, create your own games or “experiences”, and interact with others. While Roblox can be a lot of fun, there can be risks. Learning how Roblox works and adjusting your settings can help you stay safe.
How can interactions on Roblox affect you?
Interactions on Roblox happen through in-game chats, private messages and user-created "experiences".
While Roblox tries to filter out content that breaks its community rules, you may still encounter:
Harassment, bullying or inappropriate behaviour
Inappropriate conversations
Violent or extremist content or role-play "experiences"
If gaming on Roblox starts to make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, that is a sign to adjust your settings to protect yourself.
How can you protect yourself on Roblox?
Review your settings to help you manage what you see, who can contact you and how much time you spend gaming.
Choose what you see
Change your content maturity settings to “Minimal” to further reduce inappropriate content
Control who can interact with you
Review the personal data visible on your account
Choose who can see your online status and chat with you
Block users you do not want to interact with
Watch your screen time
Set daily screen time limits to get a reminder when you have spent a certain amount of time on Roblox
Notice how Roblox makes you feel after long sessions
Take breaks when gaming starts to feel overwhelming
What else can you do when something does not feel right?
Sometimes, certain content or interactions may cause discomfort and make you feel unsafe.
When that happens, remember:
You do not have to respond or explain yourself
Saving screenshots or links can help if you want to report harmful behaviour
Blocking or reporting is okay
Getting support early can prevent things from getting worse
