U.S. Federal Court Rejects Motion in Robux Case

In the United States, a federal court has officially recognized Robux as currency in a case involving children’s online casinos.

Court Decision in the RBLXWild Case

On December 10, the federal court rejected a motion filed by Boris Said Jr., the owner of the online casino RBLXWild, to dismiss a class-action lawsuit brought by parents. Their children had played on the iGaming platform, which accepted deposits made with in-game currency from Roblox.

Said argued that Robux had no real-world value and was not considered currency, claiming his platform did not violate the law. The court ruled that Robux carries monetary value and, for the purposes of this case, is equivalent to real money.

Owner’s Personal Responsibility

The court determined that Boris Said Jr. was personally responsible for all operations on the RBLXWild platform. The project generated up to $99,000 in daily revenue, which became a significant factor in the case.

Status of RBLXWild and Ongoing Proceedings

Following the ruling, the RBLXWild website is now classified as an illegal iGaming operator. The case will continue, as the court found the parents’ evidence sufficient for further review.

Activity of Similar Projects

According to Sky News, in 2024 the operations of three major online casinos — RBLXWild, Bloxmoon, and BloxFlip — were exposed. These platforms targeted children and accepted deposits funded with in-game currency.
