What to Look For When Buying a Roblox Game

Buying a Roblox game isn't like buying a product — it's closer to acquiring a small business. You're not just paying for what the game earns today; you're buying the right to its future cash flows. That means due diligence matters.

Here's what to check before committing money.

Verify the Revenue Claims

Sellers self-report their Robux earnings. There's no way to fully verify this without access to their Creator Dashboard — but you can cross-check against publicly available signals:

DAU relative to claimed revenue. If a seller claims 500K Robux/month but has 200 DAU, that's ~2,500 Robux per player per month — far above any benchmark. Real simulators average 100–300 RPU.
Visit count consistency. A game with 10M total visits but only 50 DAU was popular in the past but is dying now. Declining games are priced at a steep discount.
Like ratio vs revenue. Poorly liked games don't convert well. If the like ratio is under 60% but revenue seems high, be sceptical.

Ask for a screen recording of the Creator Dashboard summary page showing the last 3 months of Robux earnings. Any legitimate seller will provide this. Refusal is a red flag.

Understand What You're Actually Buying

On Roblox, you can't technically "buy" a game the way you'd acquire a software company. What you're doing is:

Agreeing to receive the game transferred to your account (or group)
Trusting the seller to transfer it after payment

Platforms like RoValuate require sellers to provide transfer details upfront and connect a Stripe account — so payment and transfer happen in a structured way. If you're transacting outside a platform, the risk is entirely on you.

Green Flags

✓ Signs of a quality acquisition

Seller has a verified Roblox account on the platform
Revenue is consistent over the last 6+ months (not spiking)
DAU/MAU ratio of 0.15 or higher
Like ratio above 80%
Game is 2+ years old and still active
Asking price is at or below the mid valuation
Seller is transparent about why they're selling
Game has regular update history on its page

Red Flags

✗ Warning signs to investigate or walk away from

Revenue claimed is implausibly high relative to player count
Seller refuses to provide Creator Dashboard proof
Game is experiencing rapid DAU decline (check game stats)
Asking price is 5x+ claimed annual revenue with no explanation
Seller is rushing you to close quickly ("another buyer is interested")
Game was recently re-uploaded or stats look reset
Seller wants payment via Robux, gift cards, or crypto
No transfer details provided before payment

Due Diligence Checklist

Before you pay — run through this

✓Verify the seller owns the game (check Roblox creator field matches seller's linked account)

✓Cross-check claimed revenue against DAU using the RPU benchmark for the genre

✓Request Creator Dashboard screenshot/recording showing last 3 months

✓Check the game's like ratio and update history on the Roblox page

✓Run the game URL through the RoValuate tool to get an independent valuation

✓Confirm transfer details are clearly documented before payment

✓Use a platform with payment escrow or structured payment (like RoValuate + Stripe) — not direct transfer

✓Understand the reason for selling — retirement is fine, "I need money fast" warrants more scrutiny

The Transfer Process

After payment, the seller typically needs to:

Transfer the game to your Roblox account or group using Roblox's official transfer tool
Provide all relevant game assets, scripts (if applicable), and any external service credentials
Stay available for a brief handover period to answer questions

On RoValuate, buyers have 3 days to flag issues before the seller receives their payout. This window protects you — use it if anything is wrong.
