✅

**Verified:** Last checked on **5 October 2026** against Roblox Support parental controls and account-linking articles. Parent age verification (ID or card) is required for parent privileges. Checked against Roblox's written instructions, not the live app.

**⏱ Time:** 20–30 minutes | **🔧 Difficulty:** Medium

## What you'll need

- Child's Roblox account
- Your Roblox account + age verification (ID or credit card)
- Access to Settings → Parental Controls on the child or parent account

## Step-by-step

1. **Link accounts.** From the child's *Settings → Parental Controls → Add parent*, or via Roblox's permission email, verify your age and Agree to link.

2. **Content maturity.** Set the maturity slider; block specific games; keep Sensitive issues off for younger children.
3. **Communication.** Tighten game chat, direct chat, friends chat and parties. Set private servers to Friends or Off.

4. **Friends, spending, screen time.** Review/block friends, set a monthly spend limit (gift cards are excluded), and set a daily screen-time cap.
5. **Test it.** Try a restricted game, chat, a purchase, and a short time limit.

## ⚠️ Watch out

- Gift cards bypass the monthly spending limit.
- Some experience-built chat sits outside Roblox controls — block those games.
- Console/Discord voice chat needs separate platform controls.
- A second Roblox account starts with none of your settings.
- Report concerns in Roblox and to [CEOP](https://www.ceop.police.uk/?ref=devicedaddy.mymagic.page) if needed.
