Full Roblox parental controls setup for Windows 10 and 11, plus Microsoft Family Safety for complete coverage.

👤

Create Your Parent Roblox Account

If you don't have a Roblox account, go to roblox.com and sign up with your own email. Use your real date of birth — Roblox requires this to verify you're a parent.

💡 Tip: Use an email address your child doesn't have access to.

🖥️

Open Roblox on the PC

On the PC your child uses, open the Roblox app or visit roblox.com in the browser while logged into your child's account. Click the gear/settings icon at the top right of the screen.

🔗

Link Your Parent Account

In Settings, click Privacy and then scroll to find Parental Controls. Click "Link Parent Account" and enter your parent account email. You'll receive a confirmation email — click the link in that email to complete the connection.

✅

Verify Your Identity

Roblox requires identity verification to enable full parental controls. You'll be prompted to verify via credit/debit card ($0 charge — for age verification only) or a government ID. This is a one-time process.

💡 Tip: The $0 card authorization appears and disappears from your statement within 1-2 days.

🎮

Configure Content & Chat from Your Own Account

Now log into your parent Roblox account on your own device (phone or PC). Go to Settings > Parental Controls > select your child's account. Set: Content Maturity (Minimal for 5-8, Mild for 9-12), Chat settings (Friends Only or Off for under-13), and Friend request permissions.

💡 Tip: You can manage all controls remotely from your own device going forward.

⏰

Set Screen Time & Spending Limits in Roblox

Still in your parent Parental Controls, set a daily screen time limit and a monthly spending cap. Enable purchase notifications so you get an alert any time Robux is spent.

💡 Tip: Set spending to $0/month to require your approval for every purchase.

🪟

Set Up Microsoft Family Safety (Windows)

On the PC, open Settings > Accounts > Family & Other Users. Add your child's Microsoft account as a Family member. Then go to family.microsoft.com from your own device to set: daily screen time limits by app, website filters, spending limits for the Microsoft Store, and weekly activity reports.

💡 Tip: This requires your child to use their Microsoft account to log into Windows — change the PC account type if needed.

🌐

Set Browser Controls

On the child's PC, open Microsoft Edge or Chrome. In Microsoft Edge: go to family.microsoft.com and enable Web Filtering. In Chrome: use the Google Family Link supervised account to filter websites. Block access to any "free Robux" sites specifically.

📍

Move Roblox to a Common Area

A non-technical but effective step: keep the PC your child uses Roblox on in a shared family space — living room or kitchen — rather than their bedroom. Research consistently shows location is one of the most effective safety measures.

💡 Tip: This single change has more impact than many technical controls combined.
