Why Roblox Is Not Safe For Children...
Video Overview & Insights
Hello guys and gals, it's me Mutahar again! This time we take a look at one of the most popular games with a predominant playerbase of minor users, in this we uncover popular verified games with loot box mechanics and the ability to funnel money in without so much as a simple check of verification. Roblox should be required to fix this as soon as possible. Thanks for watching!
Further clarifications: Preston, owner/creator of "Pet Sim X" has told me that he diligently bans any accounts known to be trading items off server, as well as making the point nothing in his server was akin to anything regarding slot machines or gambling being present in "Pet Sim X".

Roblox is child friendly. Actually Minecraft isnot
@patryknikiel5250Roblox got me cacklin with a game called ADOPT ME
@heyapleYou dont get enough sleep do you.
@ngasesNot a game, but a P L A T F O R M.
@Over_0w0the truth is that roblox is a garbage company. they do not really care unless the get in problem. no real moderation. the community is doing far more moderating than roblox themself. when roblox pokemon game was still on roblox, i heard my friends spending 10k robux on pokemon roulette (they had part-time jobs so it was their own money but still it was that addictive). we have to stop people ourself. there is this company who buys roblox games that is populair from the developers. this company obv wanted to make as much money as possible so they added a spin to win mechanic which cost roblox (i am talking about the game driving empire). the community hated it because as soon as that update came out we see kid roblox youtubers spending an crazy amount of money on those spin to win things. they are taking advantages of kids.
@runninginthe90s50Gambling is 18+ for me and im 17
@DemonpumkinOnly worth Roblox game is bee swarm simulator because its a game and roblox is basically an engine, it could be a separate game, its not p2w and original, money oriented but it doesnt damage the Gameplay, The dev Onett is so smart
@_Szerman_In my opinion, it is one of the worst online games for kids out there why?
Adult content: roblox is moving more towards adult content, rather than kid friendly content. Even if you set your profile so your under the age of eighteen, you won't automatically get out of playing inappropriate games.
Online Predators: roblox is known for having online Predators who WILL ask for your information such as Address, age, full name, and other stuff. Predators have also been known to do inappropriate things, mostly targeted at CHILDREN. Adopt Me has been known for this.
Online dating/ E-Dating: people will go on roblox, a lot of the time, roleplaying games like, Brookhaven, where they will pretend to date one another. And no. I'm not talking about, “love you babe!” “I love you too! Marry me!” “Ok!” I'm talking about full on SEX where ANY CHILD CAN walk in on and see. Not just preforming inappropriate acts like this, but also sometimes saying things to eachother in the chat.
People are rude: on roblox, you never know what someone will say to you, and that could be something mean, or bullying to put it bluntly.
Roblox does not censor very well: on roblox, people have been known to cuss. It's what happens. Even if they can't directly say the bad word, they will find a work around, changing a few letters to make it work.
The parental restrictions don't work well: going along with #5 and #1, even if you set restrictions, they won't always work. You'll still be able to see children having sex, if someone writes a bad word on a sign in a game, you'll still be able to see that (if it isn't censored) if someone's wearing an inappropriate outfit, yes. You will see that too.
Overall: judging on these 6 bullet points, how safe is Roblox? 10=safe 1=not safe. (I am basing this mostly on what i have seen) Adult content: 4 while there aren't too many Adult games that kids can access (yet) there still are quite a bit. Onlime Predators: 3: i have never seen a Predator on roblox, but i have heard of it happening, so were giving this a 3 Online Dating: 5: I give this a five, because while I have personally seen people dating, I have only heard of inappropriate stuff happening. Rude People: 2: I give this a two, because I have on many occasions seen bullying, and just people being rude in general. Censoring: 1: out of everything on this list, I have seen language the most. Every game I've played I've probably seen cussing at least once on each game. Even with just a few letters changed, I could still tell the bad word they were saying. Parental restrictions: 7: I give this a 7 because I don't have any children, and I am an adult, so I've never had to deal with the children controls. The reason I am not giving this a lower rating is because of what I said above. I don't know what all the parental controls do.
Based on what I rated each category, I'm going to go for almost the middle and say 4 overall. It's just getting worse and worse.
I play Roblox, and I have for many years. I'm a kid, and seeing the platform slowly devolve into gambling games, cash-grabs, scams, etc is really sad. I've made some really good friends on there and it's disheartening to see the new, younger playerbase having to experience modern Roblox. It was so much better just a few years ago. I'm not a Roblox OG nor can I speak on the behalf of all players but can't we all just agree that the platform is taking a turn for the worse?
@e7van11muta has nordVPN open back there
@ReapiiiI know I'm a little late but my friend just found alot of porn accounts on this platform. Seriously, I get banned for 1 week straight after saying one single bad word but these games and accounts somehow manage to stay. This game used to be something but now it's nothing more than a pile of shit.
@r6-d966Thanks for the heads up Mutahar!
@VictoryOnYouTubeRubin sim would be proud
@darksars3622When was it ever safe for children?
@Shy_AbiBro, even Indians are being exploited to moderate being underpaid, and forced to work excessively long hours.
@oscartimms9434Controversy of the HBBC
@S1LLY_4M0NG_US_L0V3RWouldn't that underage legislation then outlaw for example selling of Yu-gi-oh and pokimone booster pacs to underage individuals since there you are also tehnicaly buying on chance?
@tomavasarevic9678lets raid roblos HQ and plant some fireworks and tottaly not RDX
@IEDplanterwhats wrong with Roblox its a Great game to pass the time XD
@EXINC-u5lIt's why mattel hit entertainment was copyrighting alot of Thomas and friends games due to people making money of them
@Abandoned-s8iI feel like there is a massive Roblox story brewing like something that would have a massive effect on micro transactions on gaming as a whole. Everything you described in the video legally at the least is gross negligence. Aside from that I know Roblox uses a shell company to process transactions and all receipting function rather than running that whole process internally which makes a a major red flag considering that it just looks like they are just trying to skirt as much liability of of themselves as possible.
@Sol1dfoxI've been playing Roblox for almost four years and never have I once met a sketchy person on there. True not everyone is nice and some people are a bit rude but it's a massive online game,what can you expect. The whole idea of bad people on Roblox is exaggerated.
@InfernaliskI know parents have responsibilities, but can I just point out it was a little tasteless of Mutahar to use graphic names on what is admittedly a children's game?
@cursivejayI think that where perhaps Pokemon Cards and such escape the evil side of gambling is that you still receive a product you can enjoy with your friends, and keep in reality, just with different printing and they've seemed to have kept/gained their worth through popularity!
@dianarune9704I know Muta won't see this, so does anyone know what shirt he has on?
@Clauss-FlagherdeinHave something in Ohajo?
@veramulatov4:09 - 3 cents short of being able to buy more robux, cards are minimum 15$
@TristynRusseloMonths late, but I remember the casino in pokemon Gen 1 and 2. Those had legit slot machines, and I very quickly found it both boring and that the odds of winning sucked. So at least 10ish year old me avoided a video game getting me hooked on gambling.
Though in that case if you lost, you got nothing. Lootboxes give you something everytime, even if it's 99.9999% common drops. So if I had grown up with a lootbox system I could see it going differently.
But you let your kids play gta? 💀
@vaizzyssI don’t think Roblox should put RP games under review. There’s nothing inappropriate in these kinds of games.
@RYFN4_GDOK HOLD UP. MY ARENTS CAN VEIW WHAT I DO ON MY IPAD. I DISAGREE WITH THIS YES IT CNA BE UNSAFE BUT ITS NOT THAT BAD
@Ur_average.freak119:25 ...and then Roblox silenced him. 😶
Surf Wisely.
you give kids too little credit. my kid has learned how and where to spend the robux i give him, how to budget, and how worthless gambling actually is.
@michaelmcconnell7302gatcha games be like:
@the_terraria_guy9010The way it randomly cut into phantom forces gameplay had me dying
@wispagold2953That's messed up. I can't believe kids can do all that gambling in a this game.
@IiOnna222how are people only chaching up to this just by now?
@kopioshuIt’s nothing personal, just business
@CowboyJamersonfun fact i’ve won actual money from betting on a roblox game
