Roblox Kids and Roblox Select 2026: New Rules in Indonesia

Since the Indonesian government implemented digital platform restrictions for children under 16, Roblox Kids and Roblox Select have become two terms frequently appearing on the screens of children and parents. Many players suddenly couldn't open their favorite games or lost chat access, leading them to think their accounts were banned. In reality, what happened was an age-based account adjustment. Last updated: September 17, 2026.

On this page, you will find an explanation of the rules applicable in Indonesia, the differences between Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, how age verification works, and the parental control settings now available.

Child Restriction Rules in Indonesia

As of March 28, 2026, the Indonesian government officially implemented digital platform access restrictions for users under 16. This rule stems from the TUNAS Government Regulation and is detailed in the Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Regulation Number 9 of 2026, which requires electronic system providers to have an age verification system for child users.

Roblox is among the platforms subject to this obligation, along with other social media. Roblox Corporation stated that it is following government directives and has conducted checks on all its user accounts in Indonesia.

What Changes for Players Under 16

User accounts under 16 now require verified parental consent. If the account has not been verified by a parent or guardian, the child cannot access messaging features and cannot play games with a Moderate rating or higher.

The good news is, according to the official Roblox statement, users under 16 who have gone through the verification process can still access most of their favorite games. So, this restriction doesn't mean children are forbidden from playing, but rather that they are matched with age-appropriate content.

Differences Between Roblox Kids and Roblox Select

Roblox proposed an age-based account system to the Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs with two tiers. Roblox Kids is intended for users aged 5 to 12, while Roblox Select is for children aged 13 to 15. Both require age checks based on facial verification and verified parental consent.

What Roblox Kids Accounts Can Access

Roblox Kids accounts are designed to be the strictest because the users are the youngest. The limitations are as follows:

• Game content: only games with Minimal or Mild content labels, which have passed a three-stage selection process
• Communication: all communication modes are disabled by default; parents determine whether chat is enabled
• Account appearance: has a distinct color throughout the app to be easily recognized as a child account

What Roblox Select Accounts Can Access

Roblox Select provides more room because the users are early teens:

• Game content: can access games up to the Moderate content label, also through a three-stage selection process
• Communication: chat is only available with trusted friends approved by parents
• Account appearance: special color markers that distinguish it from standard Roblox accounts

Automatic Tier Upgrades as You Age

Accounts do not need to be recreated as the child gets older. Roblox Kids automatically changes to Roblox Select when the user reaches age 13, and Roblox Select automatically changes to a standard Roblox account when the user reaches 16. This transition happens on the Roblox side, so parents do not need to register a new account.

How Roblox Age Verification Works

Roblox uses two age verification methods: age estimation via face and identity document verification. According to the Roblox help center, identity document verification is only available for users aged 13 and over, so younger players practically use facial estimation.

Facial Age Estimation Process

The system analyzes images and videos of the face to estimate age, then places the account into the 5 to 8, 9 to 12, 13 to 15, 16 to 17, 18 to 20, or 21+ age group. Roblox states that images and videos are deleted after processing. In some regions, including those implementing child protection rules like Indonesia, parental consent is required before this process can be run.

If the estimation result is felt to be off, accounts aged over 13 can use the document verification option via the Settings menu then Account info. For accounts under 13, the parent linked to the account can update the date of birth, and that update can only be done once.

If You Haven't Done Age Verification

Users who have not completed face-based age verification can only play games in the Minimal and Mild categories and cannot use communication tools at all. So if a child complains that a certain game is missing from the list or chat suddenly stops working, the first step is not to create a new account, but to complete the age verification.

Parental Controls That Are Also Updated

Along with the launch of these two account types, Roblox is expanding parental control tools and consolidating them into one dashboard. According to Roblox, this structure was created so that parents have more precise control over the games and friends their children interact with.

Features available to parents include:

• Content rating: setting which game labels are allowed to be played by the child
• Per-game block: blocking specific games until the child is 15 years old, unless granted special access
• Chat settings: managing chat features until the child is 15 years old
• Time management: setting daily playtime duration
• Spending limits: limiting the child's access to in-game purchase features

Roblox Chief Safety Officer, Matt Kaufman, acknowledged that no system is perfect, and called safety a process that continues to evolve as children grow. For step-by-step technical settings, you can continue to the Roblox parental control guide and the discussion on Roblox safe for kids.

Important Note on Account Security

Age rules do not eliminate old risks. Children still need to be reminded never to share their Roblox password with anyone, including people who claim to offer free Robux. Age verification regulates content, not protecting accounts from phishing.

FAQ Regarding Roblox Kids and Roblox Select

Do children have to create a new account for Roblox Kids or Select? No. The account tier is determined by the results of the age check on the existing account and changes automatically as the child gets older. Creating a new account actually repeats the verification process from scratch.

Can Roblox Kids and Select accounts still buy Robux or a Gamepass? Yes, as long as parents do not activate spending limits on those accounts. That decision is in the hands of the parents via the parental control menu, not in the hands of any top-up service.

How long does it take for Robux to arrive if topping up at Golrox? It depends on the tier chosen. The Instant Delivery tier finishes in minutes, while the 5 to 7-day tier runs through the official Roblox pending system and is more cost-effective.

Does Golrox ask for the child's account password? Never. Golrox only needs the username to send orders, so the child's account password remains safe in the family's hands.

Does Golrox provide a guarantee that it will be delivered? Yes. Every order is guaranteed to arrive in the account according to the estimate, and if there are any issues, the Golrox team will investigate or issue a refund.

What payment methods can parents use? QRIS, bank transfers, DANA, OVO, GoPay, ShopeePay, and even phone credit are available, so there is no need for a credit card in the child's name.

Top Up That Remains Safe for Child Accounts

If after all settings are done you decide to allow your child to buy Robux or a Gamepass, the most important thing to guard is their account credentials. Golrox processes orders only with a username, without ever asking for a password, so parents do not need to hand over account access to any party.

Payments can also be made entirely by parents via local methods like QRIS and e-wallets, so transactions remain under family supervision. If you want to understand the purchase flow first before deciding, the how to top up Roblox guide explains the process from the beginning.

Closing

Roblox Kids and Roblox Select are not a punishment for young players, but a way to match children with age-appropriate content according to the rules applicable in Indonesia. Once age verification is complete and parental controls are set, most favorite games can still be played as usual.

For Robux and Gamepass needs, choose a service that never asks for a password and has a guaranteed delivery. More details are at golrox.com.
