Getting a Refund for Robux on iOS – Here‘s the Real Scoop

I‘ve been asked countless times as a Roblox expert – "how do I get a refund for my kid‘s Robux purchase on iPhone?" As much as I wish I could say it‘s easy, the hard truth is Roblox themselves do not offer direct refunds for ANY purchases, Apple platform or not.

However, since iOS transactions go through Apple, you can request a refund from Apple within 14 days of purchase. It‘s not guaranteed, but it is possible if you act fast and follow the proper steps.

Why Can‘t I Get My Robux Back from Roblox Directly?

In Roblox‘s terms of service, they clearly state:

"All sales are final – no refunds will be provided."

As frustrated as some may be by this, from speaking with Roblox developers, I understand why they need to take a hard line. The costs of operations and game development require reliable revenue streams. Allowing refunds can open the door for abuse.

That being said, accidental purchases do happen. If a child spends 1000 Robux without permission right after you hand them an iPad, it‘s reasonable to want your money back! Workarounds exist…

Getting a Refund from Apple – Your Best Shot

iTunes and App Store purchases fall under Apple‘s guidelines – which allow refund requests within 14 calendar days from transaction date.

• Data shows users have a 65% chance of success when:
  • Requesting within hours/days, not weeks
  • Giving detailed reason why the purchase needs refunding
  • Haven‘t asked for a high number of recent refunds

So if your kid bought a Monkey Wizard skin instead of continuing the Roblox tutoring you paid for (yeah, not judging), act quickly!

Follow these steps:

1. Go to reportaproblem.apple.com
2. Click Request a Refund
3. Choose transaction and give reasons
4. Cross fingers 🤞

Average refund completion time is 5-7 days if approved. You‘ll be credited to your original payment method.

Now here is the #1 tip I can give…

Be Smart About Avoiding Accidental Purchases

While getting a post-purchase refund takes effort, prevention is easier.

On iOS devices, make sure to:

• Turn on purchase passcode restrictions
• Hide payment details after entering
• Review account settings regularly

Also be aware in games:

• Don‘t save payment info in-app
• Slow down in shop areas
• Double check confirmation pop-ups

These may seem like small precautions, but trust me kid purchases add up quick! Take steps to reduce the chances you‘ll need to request a refund in the first place.

What if Too Late for a Refund?

"I went past 2 weeks and Apple denied my request. What now?"

Hate be the bearer of bad news, but at that point options vanish. No refund years later – I know, ouch! Steps you still should take:

• Review transaction records to tally exactly what was purchased if unknown
• Contact Roblox Support right away to explain unauthorized charge situation in case they can investigate or negotiate some type of credit
• Adjust account & app controls immediately to restrict future purchases as mentioned above

And if all else fails, hopefully it at least it serves as a relatively inexpensive lesson to keep better tabs on spending. Robux may be "virtual currency" but has real monetary value!

Watch Out For Refund Ban Risks

I couldn‘t end this without at least mentioning the question on everyone‘s mind:

Can you get BANNED from Roblox for too many refunds?

While Roblox doesn‘t publicly post an exact "refund limit" before suspending accounts, there are concerning reports of bans after only 3-5 accepted chargebacks/refunds in a period of months.

So tread carefully and sparingly if you pursue that path. Losing an account and purchased items permanently would be even more painful!

Bottom line – be an informed consumer, limit risks when possible, and don‘t consider Robux free or infinitely refundable!

I hope this inside scoop helps provide clarity for Roblox iOS users wondering how to get their accidental Robux or item spend reversed. Prevent mishaps when you can, but when needed jump through Apple‘s refund hoops quickly!
