Roblox pushes age verification globally, says “over 50%” of Aussie users have completed checks

Time to get verified?

Keeping to its word, Roblox has rolled out global age verification checks after establishing the program in Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands back in November 2025.

Just like in Australia, the global process will be completed through Roblox and the camera on a player’s device. A picture of a user will be checked by Facial Age Estimation, with a player assigned an age based on the program’s assessment.

“Images and video for age checks completed through Facial Age Estimation are processed by our vendor, Persona, and deleted immediately after processing,” the company said back in November.

Once the verification is complete, a user will assigned to an age range, which will then allow them to interact (or not) with other age groups. Age-based chat groups run the following age ranges: Under 9, 9-12, 13-15, 16-17, 18-20, or 21+.

Users in an age-based group will be able to chat with “those in their own age groups and similar age groups” — an example given was that a 12-year-old will be able to chat with a 15-year-old, and an 18-year-old can speak with those aged 16 or older, or to a younger sibling once they’ve been defined as a trusted connection.

The rollout means those in the United States will need to comply with age verification from today. “Over the next week, this requirement will roll out to all regions where chat is available,” Roblox added.

Roblox also has stated that, “over 50% of daily active users in Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands have already completed the age check,” and that, “globally, tens of millions of users have already completed the age check.”
