Popular gaming platform Roblox has been accused of allowing and enabling minors to gamble with its in-game currency—called Robux—on third-party gambling websites, a class-action lawsuit filed this week alleges. 

A law firm representing the frustrated parents behind the suit claims that Roblox is allowing third-party sites—namely, those operated by Satozuki, Studs, and RBLXWild—to “accept online bets using Robux,” Bloomberg Law reports.

It further alleges that Roblox “facilitates the gambling website defendants’ efforts to track bets, complete transactions, wager Robux, and satisfy wagers in their digital casinos.”

The plaintiffs argue that “Roblox keeps track of all of these electronic transfers and has knowledge of each transfer that occurs in its ecosystem,” because Robux originates from Roblox’s website.

Because these Robux are then directly used to gamble, the lawsuit claims, they are not being converted into another currency and therefore never really leave the Roblox website.
