BloxFlip reportedly relaunches Roblox-linked gambling site under new ownership

Enforcement & compliance

BloxFlip reportedly returned under new ownership, with its branding and business model apparently unchanged. The site lets users sign in with Roblox credentials, deposit Robux or linked virtual items into casino-style games, and withdraw winnings as cryptocurrency or into Roblox ecosystems. Roblox says gambling involving Robux or its items is prohibited, including off-platform activity.

The reported relaunch highlights enforcement challenges around gambling that uses Roblox-linked currencies and virtual items.
