What Roblox Premium is and what you get
Roblox Premium is a paid subscription that gives you in-game currency, a monthly stipend, and access to certain features. It is not required to play Roblox — the platform is free to join and play most games. Premium is optional and costs money every month.
When you buy Premium, you receive a set amount of Robux (Roblox's in-game currency) each month, a monthly stipend of additional Robux that you can earn by playing, and the ability to trade items and create groups. You also get a Premium-only badge on your profile and access to Premium-only games and features within some titles.
Roblox offers three tiers of Premium: one tier at a lower price point, one at a mid-range price, and one at a higher price. Each tier gives you more Robux per month. The exact prices and Robux amounts change over time and vary by country and payment method.
Key Takeaways
- Roblox Premium is optional; you can play most games and experiences for free without it.
- Premium gives you monthly Robux, a daily stipend you can earn, and access to trading and group creation features.
- Three subscription tiers exist at different price points, each with different monthly Robux amounts.
- You can cancel your subscription at any time, and your access stops at the end of your current billing period.
- Roblox Premium is separate from buying Robux directly; both are ways to get in-game currency, but they work differently.
How much Premium costs and what you receive each month
Roblox Premium pricing varies by country and payment method. In the United States, the three tiers typically range from around $5 to $20 per month, but you should check the Roblox website or app for current prices in your region. Prices may be different if you pay through a mobile app store (Apple App Store or Google Play) rather than directly through Roblox's website.
Each tier gives you a different amount of Robux each month. The lowest tier gives you the least Robux; the highest tier gives you the most. You also receive a daily stipend — a small amount of Robux you can earn by logging in each day during your subscription period. This stipend amount also varies by tier.
Your subscription renews automatically on the same day each month unless you cancel it. If you cancel, you keep your Premium benefits until the end of your current billing period, then your subscription ends.
Where to buy and manage your Roblox Premium subscription
You can buy Roblox Premium directly through the Roblox website or mobile app. On the website, go to your account settings and look for the Premium section. On mobile, open the app and navigate to the account or settings menu. You will see the three tier options and their prices for your region.
You can also buy Premium through the Apple App Store (on iPhone or iPad) or Google Play (on Android devices). Prices may differ slightly depending on which platform you use, because app stores add their own fees.
To manage your subscription — to see your renewal date, change your tier, or cancel — log into your Roblox account and go to your account settings. Look for the Premium or Subscription section. You can change your tier or cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
What happens if you cancel or your subscription ends
If you cancel your Premium subscription, you lose access to Premium features at the end of your current billing period. You keep any Robux you earned or received while you were a Premium member. You can no longer trade items or create groups if you were using Premium to do those things, but you can still play most games.
If your subscription ends because your payment method failed or was declined, Roblox will usually try to charge you again. If the charge fails multiple times, your subscription may be cancelled automatically. You should check your account settings to see whether your subscription is still active.
You can buy Premium again at any time. There is no penalty for cancelling and restarting a subscription.
Robux: Premium currency versus buying it directly
Roblox Premium and buying Robux are two separate ways to get in-game currency. Premium gives you Robux each month as part of your subscription. Buying Robux means paying money to receive a one-time amount of Robux that you can spend immediately.
If you are a Premium member, you still have the option to buy additional Robux on top of what your subscription gives you. Many players do both: they keep a Premium subscription for the monthly stipend and also buy Robux when they want to spend more on a specific game or item.
The exchange rate between real money and Robux varies depending on how much Robux you buy at once. Buying larger amounts of Robux usually gives you a better rate per Robux than buying small amounts.
Age restrictions and parental controls for Premium
Roblox Premium can be bought by anyone with a Roblox account, but if you are under 18, your account may have restrictions. Younger accounts (typically under 13) have limited ability to spend Robux and may not be able to buy Premium without parental permission.
Parents can set up parental controls on a child's Roblox account to restrict spending, control who the child can chat with, and limit which games they can play. If you are a parent and want to manage your child's Premium subscription or Robux spending, you can do this through your child's account settings or through Roblox's parental controls system.
If a child's account is set to require parental permission for purchases, attempting to buy Premium will prompt a request that a parent or guardian must approve.
Common issues and how to resolve them
If your Premium subscription did not renew, check whether your payment method is still valid. Go to your account settings and update your payment information if needed. If your card was declined, you may need to add a new payment method or contact your bank.
If you bought Premium but did not receive your Robux, wait a few minutes — sometimes there is a delay. If the Robux still do not appear after 15 minutes, try logging out and back in. If you still do not see them, contact Roblox Support through the Help section of the website.
If you were charged for Premium but cannot access Premium features, your subscription may not have processed correctly. Check your account settings to confirm your subscription is active. If it shows as active but features are not working, contact Roblox Support.
If you want to dispute a charge or request a refund, contact Roblox Support directly. Refund policies vary depending on how long ago you made the purchase and whether you have already spent the Robux you received.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Premium to play Roblox?
No. You can create a free account and play most games without Premium. Premium is optional and only gives you extra features like monthly Robux, trading, and group creation. Many players never buy Premium and still enjoy the platform.
Can I get a refund if I cancel Premium?
Refund policies depend on when you made the purchase and your payment method. If you cancel within a few days of buying Premium, you may be able to request a refund through Roblox Support. After that window, cancellation usually means you keep your Premium benefits until the end of your billing period but do not get money back.
What is the difference between Premium and Robux?
Premium is a monthly subscription that gives you Robux and other features. Buying Robux is a one-time purchase of in-game currency. You can have Premium, buy Robux, or do both. They are separate ways to spend money on Roblox.
Can I share a Premium subscription with someone else?
No. A Premium subscription is tied to one Roblox account. Each person who wants Premium needs their own subscription. You cannot share a subscription across multiple accounts.
What happens to my Robux if my subscription ends?
You keep all the Robux you earned or received while you were a Premium member. Ending your subscription does not delete your Robux. You can still spend it on games and items after your subscription ends.
