Roblox is rolling out age-gated account tiers with mandatory age verification to improve child safety. Users accessing games rated for ages 9+ must verify their age; those 5-8 get restricted "Kids" accounts, while 9-15 year-olds get "Select" accounts with moderate content. The move responds to state lawsuits and alleged child safety issues.
