Roblox Corporation—Roblox rolled out mandatory loot-box odds disclosure worldwide to comply with South Korea's Game Industry Promotion Act
Rather than build a Korea-only compliant version, Roblox changed its paid random-item policy globally effective June 25, 2026: all possible outcomes and their numerical probabilities (summing to 100%) must now be disclosed before purchase for every paid random item, including indirect purchases made with keys or tickets bought with Robux, and items that modify odds (e.g. 'Lucky Potion') must show adjusted probabilities. The change followed an inquiry from South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Game Rating and Administration Committee, which found Roblox had not fully met disclosure standards for indirect purchases under the Game Industry Promotion Act (effective March 2024).
