How long does a Roblox ban last?

Roblox bans can be 1 day, 3 days, 7 days, or permanent ("Deleted"). Check the email sent to your account for the exact duration.

Can I get my account back?

If it's a temporary ban, you get it back once the time is up. If it's a permanent ban, you must win an appeal at roblox.com/support to get it back.

Why was I banned for no reason?

Roblox moderation uses both AI and humans. Sometimes they make mistakes. If you truly did nothing wrong, use the "Appeals" system to have a human review your case.

Will a ban delete my Robux?

If your account is permanently deleted, you lose all Robux and items. If it is a temporary suspension, everything will be exactly as you left it once the ban expires.
