In effect, Roblox makes three times as much off of a creator's work than the creator themselves. Players shouldn’t look at Roblox and expect to make their fortunes in game.

Roblox makes money when these games offer in-app purchases, and it gets a cut of sales of the in-app currency Robux. More than 18 million “experiences” have been created inside the game.

Robux is the in-game currency used in Roblox, the online game platform and game creation system. Lots of different websites offer Robux for free, but are they legitimate? We can help.

Why such a large discrepancy between bookings and sales? Because when Roblox sells users Robux, it can't recognize that as revenue until the users spend those Robux on something.

In other words, Roblox can count on massive revenue growth over the next couple of years as this year's Robux orders work their way through the revenue recognition period.
