Popular Kid’s Game Roblox Being Sued for Allegedly Preying on Children, Facilitating Child Gambling in Violation of RICO
The popular kid’s game Roblox is being sued for allegedly preying on children and facilitating child gambling on the platform.
The gaming platform is accused of violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act [RICO].
The class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California claims that the game has directed children to third-party apps featuring blackjack, roulette, slots, and other gambling using Robux, Roblox’s in-game currency.
The mothers who filed the lawsuit, Rachel Colvin and Danielle Sass, allege that their children have used the gambling sites that used the Roblox currency.
“Children, who previously could not access the funds to participate in online gambling, now have, collectively, billions of Robux at their disposal,” Colvin and Sass said,
