I am writing to express my extreme concern regarding the alarming emergence of illegal online casinos targeting children within the popular Roblox platform. Recent news reports highlight the presence of these illicit gambling operations disguised as Roblox-currency-based games, but in reality, these are sophisticated ventures likely involving large-scale money laundering and the manipulation of cryptocurrency.

My own experience with these operations confirms the disturbing reality. I attempted to withdraw funds from one of these seemingly legitimate Roblox games, and the withdrawal process was surprisingly successful. This underscores the sophisticated nature of these criminal enterprises and their ability to operate at a substantial scale, potentially involving significant sums of money.

The exploitation of children, particularly in a virtual environment they trust and frequent, is deeply troubling. These illegal casinos prey on the innocence and lack of understanding of children regarding financial risk, exposing them to potentially devastating consequences. This is not merely a game; it’s a clear violation of children’s safety and well-being.

This issue requires immediate attention and intervention. I urge you to thoroughly investigate these illegal activities within the Roblox platform and take decisive action to shut them down. This involves not only identifying and shutting down these specific games but also implementing preventative measures to prevent their recurrence. This may include:

Increased platform monitoring: Roblox needs to implement more robust mechanisms for detecting and preventing these operations.
Stricter content moderation: A review and modification of the platform’s guidelines for game development must be prioritized to prevent the creation of these fraudulent games.
Collaboration with law enforcement: Close cooperation with relevant authorities is crucial in investigating and prosecuting these criminal activities.
This is not just an issue for Roblox. It’s a critical issue for the broader digital safety of children, and swift and decisive action must be taken to protect them.

Your post contains a lot of text explaining how upset and outraged you are, but very little clear and specific information about what you are upset about.

After reviewing the site and performing some browser searches, I suspect your concern is that Roblox has a currency exchange system allowing games to be created where users can purchase game currency (example: gems or coins) with cash or crypto and then can win or lose that game currency during the course of the game play. I am presuming the game player can eventually cash out their in-game currency creating the ability to win or lose real life money. is that correct?

How would a developer-created game on Roblox maintain a bankroll from which to payout more cash to a gameplayer then they have put in? How does a game developer withdraw the money (profit) his game has made?
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

It is kind of creative. Posing as a complaining prude, and this text output might have been meant to be posted and go viral on other forms of social media intended to promote political activism.

The fact that he mentioned he deposited and withdrew with no problem is the giveaway for me. A person with these kinds of attitudes about gaming (betting) would not do that and also would be unlikely to have crypto to deposit.

Dear user automaticMonkey ,

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective on my previous message. I understand you see my concerns as a form of creative political activism, but I assure you that my primary focus is on the well-being and safety of children, and I stand by the validity of the issue I raised.

While I respect your opinion that my personal experience of depositing and withdrawing funds might be perceived as contradictory to my stance, I want to clarify that my actions were a necessary step to verify the very concerning reports of illegal online gambling operations targeting children. I believe it’s critical to firsthand examine such allegations in order to fully grasp the scale of the problem and provide credible information.

My mention of a successful deposit and withdrawal was not intended as an endorsement of these sites, but to underscore the ease with which funds could be moved in and out of these systems. The fact that this can be done without robust verification processes is highly concerning and is a major reason for my alarm. As a responsible member of the gaming community, I felt it was necessary to investigate these claims rather than relying solely on third-party accounts.

Your assessment that someone concerned about gambling wouldn’t engage in these activities or be likely to own cryptocurrency is perhaps valid under normal circumstances. However, in this case, it was necessary to investigate. To those who have expressed skepticism about my message, I want to emphasize: I do not advocate for anyone to deposit funds into these sites; in fact, I advise against it. My goal was and remains to shed light on a dangerous trend and its potential consequences.

My concerns are not rooted in a disapproval of gaming itself, but in the exploitation of children through illegal and unregulated gambling. The potential for financial harm and manipulation of minors is not something that should be tolerated, regardless of differing views on gaming culture. The reports of similar sites being blocked due to child financial exploitation are very alarming and further justify my concerns. Anyone interested in verifying the risks can find more information with some quick online research.

I appreciate your engagement, even though our perspectives differ. My aim is to protect children, and I encourage a productive discussion that keeps this at the forefront.

Sincerely, jjhons

Well, I have a different view. While AI is becoming increasingly sophisticated, this OP does not strike me as being AI.

Also, I think this is an interesting topic and potentially important. Software has apparently been developed that allows game creators to monetize their games easily at specific host websites. This does seem to be a way of potentially disrupting the online casino business in the future. It has apparently started with simple video games, a la Donkey Kong style games, but surely it will branch out to more sophisticated games in the future. Such as BJ and carnival/table games. This seems like it is worth understanding and keeping track of.

But what if I believe some aleatory activity is educational and beneficial to children? Children have always played games involving transfer of property. The term "playing for keeps" refers to marbles games where one keeps opponent's marbles that he has captured. The dreidel game played on Hanukkah involves betting coins or candies.

That there is some moral imperative against betting comes from a particular religious perspective. It is not a Western perspective, and it is certainly not Asian. I'm not going to say the religion because I will get in trouble and possibly upset someone of that faith who does not interpret it that way, but it is one that I do not wish to practice nor allow its principles to become normative in my society. (Suffice it to say that if I'm going to throw someone off a roof, it's going to be for a better reason than "that.") So please explain to me why I should object to children, old enough to: play Roblox unsupervised, have access to cryptocurrency, and understand how cryptocurrency wallets are used- using their cryptocurrency for a math-based experience of betting on a platform that one must pay to use anyway?

Thx for sharing your perspective on the potential educational value of certain forms of gambling, particularly within the context of games like Roblox. You raise valid points about the historical precedent of games involving the transfer of “property” and the existence of aleatory elements in games with established cultural roots. Your viewpoint regarding the inherent morality of gambling as not being universally applicable is also well-taken. I appreciate your thoughtful exploration of this complex issue.

While I understand your position that some forms of aleatory activity might be beneficial, my concern lies with the specific context of these online gambling platforms. Even if one accepts the potential educational value of some form of gambling within a tightly controlled environment, these Roblox-integrated platforms are demonstrably lacking in that crucial element. The key difference is the nature and expertise of the platform operators and the age and maturity level of the players.

Your suggestion that children, possessing the capability to handle cryptocurrency and understand its implications, could utilize it in a structured and educational way for “math-based betting experiences” on platforms that inevitably involve fees, is a concern due to a critical gap in this equation: unforeseen consequences. The allure of quick wins and potentially high rewards can create a very difficult-to-resist habit for young, still-developing minds. The very fact that the platform requires payment itself is a red flag, suggesting that profit-seeking is the underlying driver, not education.

While some might argue these platforms teach children about risk management and probability, the reality is far more likely to be the development of compulsive gambling habits. A child’s limited experience and emotional development mean they may not fully comprehend the implications of risk, loss, or potential financial ruin. This is where the site’s lack of proper regulatory oversight becomes truly dangerous. This is not about condemning entertainment or play; it’s about protecting children from the serious consequences of gambling addiction, which, unfortunately, can significantly impact their future.

In short, while the theoretical possibility of educational value exists, the reality of these particular platforms and the inherent risks associated with gambling, particularly for children, makes this a far more complex and troubling scenario. The potential for uncontrolled escalation of impulsive behaviors and financial problems for a child and their family outweighs any potentially positive outcomes.

Thank you again for engaging in this important discussion.

First of all, let’s address the notion that using AI for refining my post somehow diminishes its value or sophistication. Is there a rule somewhere that says I can't leverage technology to enhance my writing? If I choose to use AI tools for clarification and improvement, does that make me a fool? I find it quite ironic that someone would criticize the use of modern resources while likely benefiting from countless advancements in technology themselves.

Furthermore, who are you to dictate how I should express my thoughts or what I can write? We live in a world where freedom of speech and expression are fundamental rights, and I will not be silenced by anyone who feels entitled to impose their standards on others. Your comment reeks of elitism and a lack of understanding of the creative process.

If you truly believe that my use of AI is a sign of intellectual weakness, perhaps you should reflect on your own approach to communication. After all, employing tools to enhance our abilities is a hallmark of progress, not a sign of deficiency.

And if you’re so inclined to offer me $10 for a new version of AI, I urge you to reconsider how you spend your money. Instead of trying to undermine my efforts, perhaps you should invest that cash into learning about ethics, respect, and the value of diverse perspectives. It’s important to remember that constructive criticism comes from a place of understanding and respect, not condescension.

So, next time you feel the urge to belittle someone for their choices in the creative process, take a moment to reflect on your own words and the impact they have. Let’s foster a community of support and encouragement rather than one that thrives on negativity and judgment.

I would say it is counter-productive, as I get the impression you are more concerned about your ego than about "the children"

If you are actually concerned, it's not coming across at all. Is AI to blame?
