Roblox Gifting Robux Explained (October 2026): The Request Link, the Plus Transfer Limits, and What Cannot Be Refunded
Quick Summary
  • Roblox has two separate ways to put Robux into another person's account, and they are not the same system. One is a request link. The other is a Plus transfer sent from a profile.
  • The link system, called Gift Robux, is only open to select users in the US on desktop or web. The requestor has to be 18 or older, and so does the person paying.
  • The transfer system needs a Roblox Plus subscription on the sending side. The sender pays no fee, and the recipient does not need Plus.
  • Transfer limits are 500 Robux a day and 1,000 a month. With 2-Step Verification on and an account in good standing they rise to 5,000 a day and 10,000 a month.
  • Nothing you send can be reversed. Transfers are final, and gifted Robux packages are final sale, so check who you are paying before you confirm.
Two Different Systems, and People Mix Them Up
Most confusion about sending Robux on Roblox comes down to two features that look similar from the outside. Gift Robux is a request link. The person who wants the Robux generates a link or a QR code, shares it, and someone else opens it and pays for a Robux package straight into that person's balance.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)

Sending and Receiving Robux is a Plus benefit. A subscriber opens the other player's profile or the Buy Robux page, types an amount, and sends it. There is no fee taken from the Robux itself, and the recipient does not need to be a subscriber.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

Gift Robux is the one with the tightest walls around it. Roblox says it is currently available to select users in the US only on computer or web. The requestor has to be 18 years old or older on Roblox to share a link, and the gifter has to be 18 or older, residing in the US, and willing to verify a phone number at checkout.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)

How Gift Robux Works From Both Sides
The requestor starts from the Buy Robux page on desktop or web, selects Request Robux, and lands on a page where they can copy a link or a QR code. Roblox sends them a stream notification when a gift arrives, the Robux goes straight into their balance, and they cannot reject it once it has been received.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)

The gifter side is where the friction lives, so it is worth knowing before you send anything:
  1. The link opens in the gifter's web browser only. The Roblox app is not needed to view it, and neither is a Roblox account.
  2. The page shows the requestor's username and avatar before you pay anything. Roblox tells you straight up not to gift Robux to people you do not know personally.
  3. You pick a package, attach a message if you want one, then select Checkout.
  4. Roblox asks you to verify a phone number. A verification code goes to that phone. This step works even if you are not logged into a Roblox account.
  5. You add payment information and complete the purchase. A confirmation receipt goes to the email you submitted.
Everything bought this way is final sale and non-refundable. Roblox says so in the article, and the Gift Robux landing page spells out that you are buying a limited, non-refundable, non-transferable, revocable license to use Robux, which has no value in real currency.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)[[3]](https://www.roblox.com/gift-robux)

What a Gifted Robux Package Actually Contains
A common complaint is that a gifted package gave fewer Robux than buying the same package yourself would have. Roblox answers that directly: Robux packages available through this feature are standard pricing with no virtual bonus item and no bonus Robux, and they are non-premium prices even if the gifter holds a monthly Premium membership.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)

That is worth comparing against Roblox Plus, which is the other discount lever on the platform. Plus subscribers get an immediate 10% discount on in-game items, avatars, and more, rising to 20% starting on the third consecutive month. Roblox says those discounts do not apply to items over 1 million Robux, resold items, ads credit, avatar item publishing fees, or group fees.[[4]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... oblox-Plus)

So gifting a package and buying it yourself are genuinely different numbers on the Robux count, and neither path is broken.

How Robux Transfers Work for Plus Subscribers
Sending Robux needs an active Roblox Plus subscription. Receiving does not. Plus is a benefits-only subscription at $4.99 USD per month, launched globally on April 30, 2026, and it replaced Roblox Premium as the only paid subscription Roblox sells.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)[[4]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... oblox-Plus)

You can start a transfer from the recipient's user profile or from the Buy Robux page. Roblox's steps are:
  1. Enter the amount and select Continue.
  2. Review the details of the transfer.
  3. Select Send.
The recipient then gets a notification that a transfer is pending, selects Accept on it, and the Robux is added to their balance instantly. They can check the transfer status in My Transactions.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

Transfer Limits and the 2-Step Verification Bonus
Robux transfers are capped, and the caps depend on your account state. Roblox states the standard limits as up to 500 Robux a day and 1,000 Robux a month, and says they are subject to change. Users with 2-Step Verification enabled and in good standing are eligible for an increased limit of 5,000 Robux a day and 10,000 Robux a month. When you reach a limit you get a pop-up message telling you so.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

Plus subscriber, standard500 Robux1,000 Robux
Plus subscriber, 2-Step Verification on, good standing5,000 Robux10,000 Robux
Age Rules, and Why a Transfer Gets Sent Back
Everyone involved has to clear an age requirement before Robux moves. Roblox states two bands. Users 16 and older must complete an Age Check. Users under 16 need a linked parent account, and a parent or caregiver has to approve every send and every receive. Some regions require parental approval for users under 18 because of local regulations, and Roblox notes the safety requirements may be updated to reflect regional rules.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

There are only three ways a transfer comes back to the sender: the parent account is not linked within 7 days of receiving the transfer, the parent account declines the transfer, or the receiver does not accept it.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

If the age requirements are not completed within 7 days, the transfer is cancelled and the Robux is returned to the sender. While that is being sorted out, the transferred Robux sits in the Pending Robux section of My Transactions.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

Three Things Transferred Robux Cannot Do Where the Robux Shows Up, and Where It Does Not
Once a transfer is accepted the Robux lands in the balance straight away, and the transaction is visible in My Transactions at roblox.com/transactions. That page has filters for Summary, Currency Purchases, Premium Stipends, Purchases, Sales of Goods, Creator Rewards, and Group Payouts.[[5]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... e-my-Robux)

If you bought Robux with real money and the Robux is not showing up, that is a different article entirely. Roblox points buyers to Where is the item I just bought with money, which covers charges made in dollars, euros, pesos, real, yen, or won.[[5]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... e-my-Robux)

Pending Robux is the state to look for when a transfer is held up on an age check. Roblox says held transfers appear in the Pending Robux section of My Transactions, not in your spendable balance.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

How This Differs From Gifting an Avatar Item
Sending Robux and gifting an avatar item are different mechanics. Roblox has no general item-gifting button. The documented routes are trading, reselling a Limited on the Marketplace, or buying a gift card and handing over the credit. Trading needs Roblox Plus and an age check on both sides, and it moves items rather than currency.[[7]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... -on-Roblox)

If the item matters more than the currency, trade it or send Robux and let the other person buy it themselves. Do not look for a third-party site that claims to deliver an item to another account, because the only paths Roblox documents are the ones above.

Refunds, and the One Rule That Saves People Money
On the Robux side there is almost nothing to refund. Roblox says there is not a way to get Robux back once you have made a purchase, and that this includes accidental purchases as well as lost and unused items from the Avatar Shop and Experiences.[[8]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ke-an-item)

Unauthorized charges are the exception. Roblox says that whenever possible it works with parents and customers directly as part of a permissive refund policy to provide a refund for unauthorized purchases. The catch is where you bought. If the charge on your statement says Xsolla*Roblox, you contact Xsolla. If it says Roblox with no prefix, you contact Roblox support. And if you dispute the charge first, Roblox cannot refund it, because the payment provider's dispute process takes over.[[9]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... d-Requests)

Charges made through Apple, Microsoft, PlayStation, Meta Quest, Samsung, or Amazon have to be refunded by those providers, not by Roblox.[[9]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... d-Requests)
Scam Patterns That Use These Features
Any offer of free Robux, free subscriptions, or valuable items is a scam, and Roblox says so plainly. The stated goal of those offers is to trick you into giving out your password or personal information, or into clicking a bad link, so the scammer can take your account and everything on it.[[10]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... Generators)

Roblox's advice is short: never enter your password anywhere other than the Roblox login page, never share your password or sensitive information with another user, and do not click suspicious offsite links.[[10]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... Generators)

Two patterns show up around gifting specifically:
  • A spoofed Gift Robux link. Roblox tells you to double check and verify you are making a purchase for the correct person before confirming payment, and if you believe you were scammed by a spoofed link or a Roblox user, to contact support with additional information. The real link opens a roblox.com page that shows the requestor's username and avatar.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)
  • A request for Robux to verify your account. Roblox says it will never ask you to send Robux to another user to verify your account or for any other reason.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)
If a link came from someone you do not know, Roblox says you can ignore it and contact Roblox support.[[3]](https://www.roblox.com/gift-robux)

FAQ

How do I gift Robux to a friend?
If you are in the US, 18 or older, and on desktop or web, open the Buy Robux page, select Request Robux, and share the link or QR code it gives you. The other person opens it in a browser, picks a package, verifies a phone number, and pays. The Robux lands in your balance.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)

How do I send Robux to a friend?
You need a Roblox Plus subscription. Open the recipient's profile or the Buy Robux page, enter the amount, select Continue, review it, and select Send. The recipient gets a pending notification and has to select Accept before the Robux moves.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

Is gifting Robux the same as sending it?
No. Gift Robux is a purchase made by the gifter through a request link, and it is US-only for select users. Sending Robux is a Plus subscriber benefit that works from a profile and has daily and monthly caps. Both put Robux in the other person's balance, and neither can be reversed.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

What is the maximum Robux I can send?
Roblox states 500 Robux a day and 1,000 Robux a month for a standard Plus subscriber, and 5,000 Robux a day and 10,000 Robux a month if 2-Step Verification is enabled and the account is in good standing. Roblox calls those limits subject to change.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)

Can I get my Robux back after gifting or sending?
No. Gift Robux purchases are final sale and not refundable, and sent transfers are final the moment they go. The only path back is an unauthorized charge, and even then you have to contact Roblox or the payment provider before disputing anything.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)[[9]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... d-Requests)

Why did I get fewer Robux than the package price suggested?
Gift Robux packages are standard pricing with no virtual bonus item and no bonus Robux, and they use non-premium prices even if the gifter holds a Premium membership. That is how Roblox describes the feature, not a bug in your purchase.[[1]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ting-Robux)

Can the person receiving Robux cash it out?
No. Roblox says all transfers received are not eligible for the DevEx program and can only be spent on items within Roblox.[[2]](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/art ... ving-Robux)
