Roblox Parental Controls — PIN, Chat & Spending Limits
Last verified: 2026-08-22
Roblox parental controls restrict chat, spending, experience access, and voice chat for child accounts. Set a Parent PIN, configure account restrictions, and review privacy settings from roblox.com or the mobile app. This Oracnoos guide covers age-based defaults, spending limits, and voice chat blocks.
Account restrictions by age
Under-13 accounts have filtered text chat by default and cannot enable voice chat. Age 13+ unlocks more social features after email verification. Age 18+ has full access. Age is set at account creation and verified through ID check for voice chat.
Setting up Parent PIN
Create a Parent PIN at roblox.com/settings → Parental Controls. PIN prevents children from changing privacy settings, disabling restrictions, or enabling voice chat without approval. PIN is required for every settings change once enabled.
Spending controls
Disable Robux purchases on child accounts or require PIN approval for each purchase. Gift card redemption still adds Robux — store physical cards securely. Set monthly spending limits under Parental Controls. Review purchase history regularly at roblox.com/transactions.
Experience access restrictions
Block experiences by age rating or specific titles through Parental Controls. Allowed Experiences list lets you whitelist approved games. Account Restrictions mode limits to curated experiences only — strongest filter for youngest players.
Chat and social controls
Choose who can message your child: no one, friends, or friends of friends. Disable chat entirely for under-13 accounts. Voice chat requires age 13+ verification and can be blocked by Parent PIN regardless of age.
Monitoring and reporting
Review account activity, friend lists, and purchase history regularly. Teach children to report inappropriate behavior using in-experience report tools. Roblox safety team reviews reports but parental oversight remains essential.
Parent account linking
Link a parent email to child accounts for recovery and oversight. Parent accounts can manage multiple child accounts from one dashboard. Enable two-step verification on parent accounts to prevent unauthorized changes.
Quick tips before you grind

FAQ
Can I block Roblox voice chat for my child?
Yes. Parent PIN blocks voice chat even for age-verified 13+ accounts. Under-13 accounts cannot enable voice chat regardless. Set restrictions at roblox.com/settings → Parental Controls.
How do I limit Robux spending?
Disable purchases in Parental Controls or require PIN for each transaction. Note that gift card redemption bypasses purchase controls — store physical cards securely.
What is Account Restrictions mode?
The strictest filter — limits playable experiences to a Roblox-curated list suitable for younger players. Enable under Parental Controls for maximum content filtering.
