Infamous · Why Roblox Is Everywhere Right Now · 22 Jan 2026 podcast

connect their bank account to roblox thinking it's maybe just a one-time thing next thing you know something like that has happened this is by design i think it's fair to say the platform is incentivized to make kids feel inadequate and you know i i spoke to kids who play the game and their parents who said that like yeah there is a major have and have not divide at school between kids whose parents give them money for robux and kids who have to

Just use the free items, right?

And like, it is literally like on the screen, obvious who has money and who doesn't.

If you're lucky enough to have your parents load money into your account, you can buy, you know, a virtual Adidas bucket hat or like name brand shoes.

And then the kids who don't have the money on their account are stuck with the sort of generic default.

I mean, it's like the Sims, right?

Like, it was very fun to dress up your Sims.

Now imagine if, you know, 90% of the stuff that came with the Sims required a credit card to unlock.

Yeah.

There's a reason why we don't let kids in casinos, right?

Roblox is emphatic that what they're enabling is not gambling.

because you can not spend Robux and make more Robux.

I don't find that very convincing.

Whether you call it gambling or not, they are absolutely games of chance where you wager

real money, well, you made your real money that's been laundered into Robux, and you might get a really, really, really cool item, a really, really rare brain rot, but odds are you're not going to get that.

And there's a flashing roulette wheel and all these special effects and sound effects and clicking sounds and bells and whatever.

And

We just know it is human nature that you think, okay, one more spin, one more spin of the roulette wheel, five more Roblox, right?

You know, in a lot of countries, this is not legal.

If you live in, I think it's certain EU countries, you literally cannot use certain functions of Roblox because they have been banned at the national level because some countries have recognized that it's probably not a good practice to let children spin paid roulette wheels in exchange for prizes.
