Roblox Creator Rewards: How Developers Can Now Earn More
Roblox is taking a bold step to help developers earn more by unveiling Creator Rewards, a fresh initiative that introduces new monetization paths. Starting July 24th, Roblox creators can benefit from two major reward programs: the Daily Engagement Reward and the Audience Expansion Reward. These programs are designed to recognize creators who bring back returning users and grow Roblox’s player base, answering one of the most common questions developers ask—how do I make more Robux while growing my experience? With payouts tied to user retention and acquisition, these changes make Roblox development more financially rewarding than ever.

Roblox’s new Daily Engagement Reward program focuses on rewarding creators for encouraging consistent player engagement. If a paying user—defined as someone who has spent at least $9.99 on Roblox in the past 60 days—logs into Roblox and spends at least 10 minutes on a creator’s experience within their first three visits of the day, the creator earns 5 Robux per user. While that may sound small at first, those rewards scale rapidly with higher daily traffic.
This shift replaces the existing engagement-based system that paid creators based on Premium subscriber playtime. Roblox’s Chief Product Officer, Manuel Bronstein, emphasized that the old model didn’t fairly reward creators for user acquisition or re-engagement. Instead, this new setup prioritizes the reasons players log in—experiences that draw users back again and again. Creators aren’t expected to manipulate game mechanics just to meet the 10-minute threshold. Roblox recommends developers focus on building immersive and enjoyable content, letting the quality of the experience naturally drive engagement and earnings.
Audience Expansion Reward: Earning from New and Returning Users
The Audience Expansion Reward is Roblox’s new way to pay creators for bringing fresh or returning players onto the platform. If a user joins Roblox through a creator’s shared link or seeks out and plays a specific experience by name—then plays for at least 10 minutes—the creator earns a 35% revenue share on that user’s first $100 spent within two months. This system will replace the older Creator Affiliate program.
What sets this program apart is its focus on performance marketing. By giving creators financial credit for driving both new signups and reactivating dormant users, Roblox acknowledges the role developers play in its growth. This method mirrors successful referral-style marketing models used across the tech world, turning developers into stakeholders in Roblox’s user acquisition strategy. And with Roblox already on track to pay out $1 billion to creators in 2025, these updates signal an even greater commitment to building a creator-first economy.
Why Roblox Creator Rewards Matter for Developers
The introduction of Roblox Creator Rewards reflects a broader industry trend: putting creators at the heart of platform growth. Platforms like Epic Games with Fortnite’s engagement-based payouts have already started reshaping how developers earn, but Roblox’s strategy is more expansive. Not only does it reward session duration, but it also incentivizes community growth—whether from new players or returning fans.
Creators can still monetize in traditional ways, such as selling digital items, running ads, or offering subscriptions. But these new reward programs add another layer of sustainable income. With over $922 million paid out to creators last year, Roblox is proving that it's serious about turning its developer base into a thriving ecosystem. These rewards mean creators no longer just build for fun—they build with real financial returns in mind. Whether you're new to Roblox development or a seasoned creator, understanding and optimizing for these reward systems is essential to long-term success on the platform.
