Free Robux: what's real, what's fake, and what's safe
Search “free Robux” and you'll see thousands of promises. Some methods contain a little truth. Many are completely fake. This guide sorts them into three simple categories so you know what you're dealing with.
Category 1 – Real but not free
These are the official, reliable methods. They require money, time or skill – so they're not truly “free”, but they are legitimate:
- Buying Robux directly from the official store
- Receiving an official Robux gift card
- Getting bonus Robux from some console or store promos
- Earning Robux through game development and selling items or passes
Category 2 – Limited, real-ish opportunities
These are the “maybe” options. They sometimes work, but not for everyone and never as a guarantee:
- Legit giveaways from creators or communities
- Events that give a small amount of currency or items
- Survey-based rewards or gift card draws
On SafeGameRewards, we include a link to a survey-style reward page as an example of this second category. You can see it in action if you want to understand how they usually look.

Category 3 – Completely fake & dangerous
Sadly, this is the biggest category. Any site that:
- Promises unlimited Robux from a “generator”
- Demands your password or security code
- Uses scary messages or countdowns to make you rush
- Looks almost exactly like the official game site but with a weird URL
…should be closed immediately. These pages are trying to steal accounts, personal details, or both.
How to talk about this with kids
For many children, Robux and similar currency feel like a shortcut to belonging or having fun with friends. Instead of just saying “no”, it often helps to:
- Explain why some offers are risky
- Set clear family rules for online rewards
- Offer safe alternatives, like official gift cards on special occasions
- Let them help research if a site is trustworthy
Key takeaway
“Free Robux” is not automatically a scam – but most of the loudest promises are. When in doubt, fall back on this rule:
If it needs your password, looks like a clone, or feels too good to be true, it's not worth the risk.
