For example, Earned Robux does **not** include: - Direct Robux purchase - Monthly Robux grants as part of a Roblox subscription - Trading or resale of in-experience items or avatar items - Robux received from Robux transfers - Robux gift card redemption - Passes sold for template experiences with no legitimate user visits - Violative content that was moderated Roblox maintains the exclusive right to decide if any Robux qualifies as Earned Robux at its own discretion. ## What is the exchange rate? The standard exchange rate for the DevEx program is `0.0038` per 1 Earned Robux, which comes out to $114 USD for 30,000 Earned Robux. Roblox offers a higher exchange rate of `0.0054` for certain Earned Robux in eligible games from purchases of developer products, passes, subscriptions, and private servers from U.S. players who have verified their age as at least 18 years old through [facial age estimation](https://about.roblox.com/age-estimation) or [government ID](/docs/en-us/production/publishing/account-verification.md#verify-through-government-id). For more information, see the [U.S. 18+ exchange rate](/docs/en-us/production/monetization/18-plus-devex-rate.md). **Have Earned Robux balances from before September 5, 2025?** Before September 5, 2025 at 10am PT, the standard exchange rate was `0.0035`, which comes out to $105 USD for 30,000 Earned Robux. If you have balances of Earned Robux before September 5, 2025 at 10am PT, those balances will cash out at the `0.0035` exchange rate in effect at that time. You can only cash out your Earned Robux at the old exchange rate before you can cash out any Earned Robux at the current exchange rate. This includes one-time payouts from [groups](/docs/en-us/projects/groups.md). Spending Robux on the platform does not reduce any applicable Earned Robux at the old exchange rate. Any Robux you spend deducts from your total balance, but it doesn't count towards clearing your previous exchange rate Earned Robux balance first. ## Eligibility requirements To participate in the DevEx program, you must agree to the program's Terms of Use and meet its requirements, including but not limited to: - Be at least 13 years old - Have a minimum of 30,000 Earned Robux in your account - Have a Roblox-verified email address - Have a valid DevEx portal account - Have either an IRS form W-9 (for U.S. taxpayers) or W-8 (for non-U.S. taxpayers) on file with Roblox - Be in complete compliance at all times with Roblox's [Terms of Use](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/articles/115004647846) and [Community Standards](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/articles/203313410) For the complete list of DevEx eligibility requirements, see [Developer Exchange Terms of Use](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005718246-Developer-Exchange-Terms-of-Use). > **Error:** Noncompliance with the Roblox Terms of Use or Community Standards may result in suspension from the DevEx program. ## Submit a DevEx request If you meet all of the DevEx program's eligibility requirements, you can submit a DevEx request to exchange your Earned Robux for local currency at the current exchange rate. This process is called "cashing out", and it is only available when you have a minimum of 30,000 Earned Robux in your account. To submit a DevEx request to cash out: 1. Navigate to the [Creator Hub](https://create.roblox.com/). 2. In the left-hand navigation, select **Finances**. 3. In the top-right corner, select the **Cash Out** button. The **Developer Exchange (DevEx)** form displays. 4. Complete the form with your information, specify how much Robux you want to exchange, and agree to the terms and conditions. > **Info:** You must only use your legal name in this form. Nicknames, family members, friends, or joke names, along with any other inaccurate or incomplete information, may result in your account’s ineligibility to participate in the DevEx program, or significantly delay your review. 5. At the bottom of the page, click the **Cash Out** button. Roblox removes the Earned Robux from your account and begins the review process. If Roblox rejects your DevEx request, your Earned Robux will be immediately refunded to your account. If this is your first time cashing out and Roblox approves your request, you will receive an email from `no-reply@roblox.com` inviting you to create an account on Roblox's [DevEx Portal](https://suppliers.tipalti.com/Roblox/Account/Login). You must provide your payment method and tax form within one week of receiving the registration link. > **Warning:** If you do not complete your registration within one week of receiving the registration link, Roblox automatically declines your DevEx request and refunds your Earned Robux. It's important that you enter your payment method, tax form, and all of your personal information accurately as you create your account on the DevEx Portal, and that you keep it up to date at all times. This information ensures all payments comply with laws and regulations, and any inaccuracies in your information impacts your payments. > **Info:** For information on the DevEx Portal and common tax questions, see [Tax and DevEx Portal (Tipalti) Information](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/27985018895124-Tax-and-DevEx-Portal-Tipalti-Information). Once your registration is complete, the DevEx team begins processing your payment. The following timelines for this process are **estimates** on how long it can take for the DevEx team to review and process your request: - For first time DevEx participants, allow around 10 business days. - For returning DevEx participants, allow around 5 business days. Keep in mind that the DevEx team does not process requests on weekends and holidays, and that there are additional processing times for the payment to land in your bank account once the DevEx team finishes processing your payment. ## Frequently asked questions **How do I know how much Earned Robux I have?** The [DevEx Dashboard](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/devex) provides an estimation of your Earned Robux amount, but it is not a guarantee of payout or that all of your Earned Robux balance is eligible for the DevEx program. The DevEx team still reviews your eligible Earned Robux by reviewing sources accordingly. Note that there is up to a 24 hour delay between Earned Robux transfers/sales and the Earned Robux balance reflecting the new values. If you want to submit a DevEx request at a higher value than what your Earned Robux balance currently displays, you may do so. **Can you let me know if I am eligible for DevEx before I submit a request?** Roblox is unable to guarantee eligibility as all DevEx requests are reviewed upon submission. **I submitted a request and my Robux disappeared. Where did my Robux go?** When you submit a DevEx request, the Earned Robux amount you specified in the request is removed from your account and held during the DevEx review process. If Roblox rejects your DevEx request, your Earned Robux will be immediately refunded to your account. **Why did Roblox reject my DevEx request?** Roblox can reject DevEx requests for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: - Failure to complete DevEx Portal registration within a week of receiving the DevEx Portal invitation to create an account - Failure to submit tax form and/or payment method information in the DevEx Portal - Insufficient Earned Robux - Roblox's [Terms of Use](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004647846-Roblox-Terms-of-Use) or [Community Standards](https://about.roblox.com/community-standards) violations, including but not limited to: - Scamming - Account theft - Attempts to exchange Robux for real currency other than through the DevEx program - Suspicious activity to exploit other Roblox users or features - Any illegal, unethical, or otherwise prohibited activities **My previous DevEx requests were approved, but my most recent DevEx request was rejected. Why?** Previous DevEx request approvals are not guarantees that Roblox will approve your future DevEx requests. The DevEx team reviews each DevEx request for eligibility upon submission. If activity that violates the [DevEx Terms of Use](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005718246-Developer-Exchange-Terms-of-Use) or the spirit of the program is identified at any time, Roblox reserves the right to reject DevEx requests. **My request was rejected for a name discrepancy. What does this mean and how can I fix it?** If Roblox rejects your DevEx request because of a name discrepancy, do not submit another request. The rejection means that the DevEx team noticed that the name of your DevEx request differs from previous requests and/or your account name in the DevEx Portal. Before you submit another DevEx request, contact Roblox using the [Support form](https://www.roblox.com/support) as you are unable to correct your name on your own. Any party involved will likely need to follow the ID verification process. For more information on this process, see [ID verification](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/27984775142292-ID-Verification). **My DevEx request was approved, but I received a different amount than what is listed on the current exchange rate. Why?** The exchange rate for cashing out may vary according to when you earned the Earned Robux, and the exchange rate is subject to change. For example, if you have any Earned Robux balances from before September 5, 2025 at 10am PT, your DevEx requests will pull DevEx funds from your account at the previous exchange rate (`0.0035` per 1 Earned Robux) until all earnings from that period of time are cashed out. **I received a moderation action on my account 3 years ago, does this mean I can't submit a DevEx request?** Not all moderation actions result in suspension from the DevEx program. Roblox takes into consideration the type of violation and its timing during the review process. In order to ensure there are no issues with your eligibility in the program, ensure that all of your activity on Roblox remains compliant with Roblox's [Terms of Use](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004647846-Roblox-Terms-of-Use) and [Community Standards](https://about.roblox.com/community-standards). **Can I cancel my DevEx request?** After you submit a DevEx request, Roblox cannot cancel it. **How often can I cash out?** You can have a completed DevEx request once per calendar month. For example, if you have completed a DevEx request where you have received payment in January, the next time you can submit a DevEx request is in February. **Do group funds count as Earned Robux?** Group payouts count as Earned Robux if the group funds are composed of bona fide earnings. Roblox checks all earnings and group funds for validity. If you receive group funds from a group that earned the Robux against Roblox's [Terms of Use](https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004647846-Roblox-Terms-of-Use) or [Community Standards](https://about.roblox.com/community-standards), then those group funds do not count towards your Earned Robux balance.
