How to Gift Robux to a Friend in 2026
Roblox does not have a simple "Send Robux" button. But there are several ways to transfer Robux to another player — whether they play on PC, mobile, or Xbox. Here is every method available in 2026, with step-by-step instructions.
Method 1: Group Payouts (Most Common)
If you own a Roblox group, you can pay out Robux to any group member.
Steps:
- Create a Roblox group (costs 100 Robux one-time)
- Have your friend join the group
- Go to Group Admin → Revenue → Payouts
- Select "One-time Payout" and enter the amount
- Robux are transferred instantly
Catch: You need Roblox Premium to receive group payouts. The sender also needs earned Robux in the group funds (not purchased Robux directly).
Method 2: Custom Gamepass
Your friend creates a gamepass on one of their experiences, and you purchase it.
Steps:
- Your friend creates a gamepass priced at the amount you want to send
- You buy the gamepass from their experience page
- Roblox takes a 30% marketplace fee
- Your friend receives 70% of the Robux
Example: To send 1,000 Robux, the gamepass needs to be priced at ~1,429 Robux (since Roblox takes 30%).
Method 3: Roblox Gift Cards
Buy a Roblox gift card and give them the code. For a full breakdown of which card types work, see our guide to buying Robux with gift cards.
Steps:
- Buy a physical or digital Roblox gift card from Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc.
- Send your friend the code
- They redeem it on roblox.com/redeem
Gift card values: $10 (800 Robux), $25 (2,000 Robux), $50 (4,500 Robux).
Method 4: Third-Party Sellers
Third-party sellers can deliver Robux directly to any Roblox account using group payout methods — you just provide your friend's username instead of yours.
Steps:
- Place an order with a third-party seller
- Provide your friend's Roblox username
- Robux are delivered to their account within 5–15 minutes
This avoids the 30% Roblox marketplace fee entirely and is typically the cheapest option per Robux.
Which Method Is Cheapest?
| Method | To Send 1,000 Robux | Effective Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Group Payout | 1,000 Robux from group funds | Free (if you have group funds) |
| Custom Gamepass | 1,429 Robux (30% fee) | ~$17.86 at official rates |
| Roblox Gift Card ($10) | 800 Robux | $10.00 |
| Third-party seller | 1,000 Robux | ~$1.00 |
Third-party sellers are the most cost-effective way to gift Robux by a significant margin.
