Roblox Monetization Systems Reference

1. Overview

Load this reference when:

• Adding in-game purchases (GamePasses, Developer Products)
• Designing or revising a monetization strategy
• Optimizing revenue (pricing, placement, conversion funnels)
• Implementing Premium Payouts or Rewarded Video Ads
• Calculating DevEx projections
• Reviewing monetization ethics and Roblox policy compliance

Roblox provides four primary monetization channels: GamePasses (one-time permanent unlocks), Developer Products (consumable/repeatable purchases), Premium Payouts (revenue from Premium subscribers playing your game), and Rewarded Video Ads (ad-based revenue). Each channel serves a different purpose and should be combined strategically.

Key principle: All purchase granting MUST happen on the server. Never trust the client to determine what a player owns or has purchased.
