Roblox Star Program
The Stars Program is an invite-only program designed for top developers who want to grow and expand the license of their intellectual property (IP) related to their Roblox experiences to Roblox. Developers in the program will be eligible for consideration in merchandising and promotional opportunities including but not limited to;
Licensing Deals
Opportunities for toys based on games, books, board games, apparel and more!
Amazon Merch
Promotions
Marketing
When developers opt-in for this program for a 1-year term, which auto-renews, they are providing Roblox an exclusive right to their IP for a rolling five-year term. (If a developer leaves the program, Roblox will retain exclusivity for only the categories that were used for their experiences tied to products, and not all categories.) This enables Roblox to negotiate major promotional opportunities with long timelines related to production and sales. This potentially results in additional revenue and brand awareness for Roblox developers.
Developers on Roblox own their intellectual property (IP). For Roblox to pursue any promotional opportunities, such as toys, we need to be granted the ability to represent developers’ IP. The Stars program is designed for just that: granting Roblox an exclusive worldwide license for use of developers’ username, avatar, and any user-generated content they choose to include. Developers can include the properties they’d like to share and hold the ones they don’t. When Roblox looks to create any new promotional opportunity, we will pull content exclusively from our Stars participant list.
Royalty Information:
Selected experiences will receive royalties from a 50% pool resulting from the money received by Roblox of anything sold using Stars program IP. So if we make a toy based on your toy, then you will receive 50% of what we receive from the toy manufacturer (and if the toy is based on multiple experiences, then the 50% will be divided among the participants). The 50% cut that Roblox takes from royalties is used to cover the costs of administering the Stars program.
Developers in the Amazon Merch program earn 100% of the revenue from each sale – after Amazon takes its share. Amazon Merch also has potential for major retailer distribution (In that case, developers earn 50% of revenue from retail sales)
By signing up, we do not guarantee that developers will be selected for any promotional opportunities, but by opting into the program, they increase their chances of being selected.
If you have any additional questions, please reach us at stars@roblox.com or see the Stars FAQ Page.
Can I apply to join the Stars program?
The Stars Program is invite only. We will reach out to you if we determine your experience to be a good fit for the program!
When I start to participate in the Star Program, will my participation in the DevEx program continue as before?
That is correct; participating in the Roblox Stars Program will not impact your participation or eligibility in the DevEx program. These are two separate programs.
It states that as a Developer on Roblox, I own my intellectual property (IP). However, will I lose control of what I want to do with my creations I’ve developed if I sign into this program?
You still own your IP, and you completely control your experiences (as long as you follow our standard Terms of Use). The point of this program is to have Roblox represent your experiences as part of our licensing partnerships with toy, book, apparel, etc. companies.
Does this extend to IPs created outside Roblox?
No, it does not. Only your IP on the Roblox platform.
Can I allow other people to contract my IP if I don’t grant them exclusive rights?
By entering the Roblox Stars program, you are granting us exclusive rights to create physical merchandise from your IP, so you can not grant rights to any other third party companies. You are not granting the Roblox Stars program any additional digital rights beyond what is already granted to Roblox in our Terms of Use.
Once I’ve finished new projects, how should I let you know so that my Stars profile can be updated?
As far as the agreement goes, there is no need for you to inform us of new projects, unless you want to opt them out of the program – all your new projects are automatically included as part of the program. We will reach out once in the Fall and once in the Spring to collect toy ideas, this would be an appropriate time to submit ideas for your new projects!
Does the Stars Program only grant Roblox rights to my IP, or will other developers in the program be given rights?
The purpose of the program is to grant the rights to Roblox. We would not grant the rights to other users.
If I include a experience in the addendum as excluded, will it remain excluded indefinitely?
Correct, it will remain excluded, even if you update the same experience.
How do I opt-in IP that I previously excluded from the Program
If you wish to opt-in IP you previously opted-out, please send us an email stars@roblox.com and we’ll be happy to assist!
Will my PII be shared? Who gets to see my information?
The information that you enter on the Stars questionnaire is only available to Roblox.
Can I list a YouTube video (or other off-site assets) as my creation?
Unfortunately, only your creations on the Roblox Platform can be included in the Roblox Stars program.
Is this related to the Roblox Video Stars Program?
No, the Stars Program and Video Stars Program are two separate programs. For more information regarding the Video Stars Program, please see https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026092011-Roblox-Video-Stars-Program.
What does the 5 years access to IP mean? E.g. if a user creates a new experience 4 years after leaving, would Roblox own the rights to use that IP for the stars program?
The Roblox Stars program only includes IP that you create while you are in the program. The 5-year clause means that we have the rights to create merchandise, and pay you royalties for that merchandise, for up to 5 years after you leave the program, but we may only use IP that was created while you were in the program.
Would we be able to feature merchandise created by Roblox (i.e. toys) on our website and sell it either there or through an affiliate link?
Yes! Most of the toys are sold on Amazon (in addition to retailers such as Walmart, Target, etc.). You can join Amazon’s affiliate program, and promote your toys to your fan base through Amazon.
What is the selection criteria to be selected for these promotional opportunities?
For toys, we look at various things when building out a specific toy line. The popularity of a developer is definitely part of the equation, but we also consider if there are any compelling characters or vehicles, etc. that are recognizable by the community that we can pull from the experience. We also have to look at the entire line (for example, even if you have a popular pirate, we can’t make 5 pirates – we hope you can understand). We reach out to developers twice a year to collect toy ideas during the Spring and Fall.
Stars Payment FAQ
The Stars program is designed for developers who want to grow and expand the license of their intellectual property (IP) related to their Roblox experiences to Roblox. As a participant in this opt-in program, you will be eligible for consideration in merchandising and promotional opportunities including new toys (both your experience and avatar), books, movies, and apparel, as those opportunities arise while sharing in the royalties and protecting your IP.

What are the differences between the DevEx program and Roblox Stars?
The DevEx program is based on the services that you provide on the Roblox platform while Roblox Stars is a royalty program based on Roblox utilizing your IP in Roblox toys, books, and media. As a result, the tax treatment for Roblox Stars payouts is different than payouts for the DevEx program.
Do I need to submit a tax form for Roblox Stars if I already submitted a tax form for DevEx?
Due to the differences between the DevEx program and Roblox Stars program (and resulting differences in income). All non-U.S. Persons who have previously participated in the DevEx program will be required to re-submit their tax forms to receive Roblox Stars payments. New forms are needed because royalty payments are treated differently than payments for services. For a U.S. Person, you will not be required to re-submit your tax forms but please review them carefully when you get access to your Roblox Stars Tipalti login.
Who is considered a U.S. Person?
According to the IRS, for U.S. federal tax purposes, a U.S. person includes, but is not limited to:
Will U.S. taxes be withheld on my Roblox Stars payment?
Tax withholding and specific requirements vary based on whether you are a U.S. person or non-U.S. person. If you are a non-U.S. person Roblox is required to withhold tax from your U.S. sourced payouts at the statutory rate of 30% (on the gross payout amount) UNLESS you claim tax treaty benefits in which case the applicable rate that Roblox is required to withhold may be less than 30%. Please consult your tax advisor to determine whether you are entitled to a treaty rate. Additional information can be found on the IRS website. IRS Publications 515, 519 and 901 have useful information about U.S. income tax treaties and eligibility requirements.
What is a U.S. source royalty payment?
If you are a non-U.S. person, then any royalty payment you receive from U.S. sources is generally subject to a 30% withholding tax. A royalty payment is U.S. source when the intellectual property is used within the U.S.
Which tax forms do I submit?
One of the steps in the Roblox Stars payment process is supplying us with your tax-related information (requirements vary depending on the country in which you reside). Roblox recognizes these steps can be time-consuming and possibly tedious; however, these steps are mandated by the tax authorities in the countries in which Roblox operates.
Tax reporting requirements vary based on whether you are a U.S. person or non-U.S. person.
Where do I submit my tax form?
You will be asked to complete and submit your tax form on the Tipalti portal. Please do not email your tax form or other sensitive personal information to us.
Idology
What is IDology?
IDology is a third party digital identity verification and authentication tool we have partnered with to perform ID verifications.
Why am I required to complete the ID verification?
Roblox works hard to create a safe and fun environment for all of our community. In unison with that, we partnered with IDology to add an additional layer of protection for our Developers. The safety and security of our Developers is a top priority for our team.
Reasons you may be asked to complete the ID verification:
How do I complete the ID verification?
The Stars Payouts team will provide a link for you to complete the ID verification. The link will provide step-by-step instructions on how to complete the ID verification.
You will always be asked to provide your information through IDology. Please verify that the email we reach out to you comes from starspayouts@roblox.com to avoid phishing and scam emails. If you have any concerns about responding to the email that we reached out to you from, please reach out to us from the Roblox Support page.
You will need to use your smartphone to complete IDology because the “selfie” page will not initiate on other types of devices.
What forms of identification will I need to provide?
You will be required to upload the front and back of your valid government-issued document, and as an additional layer of identification you will be asked to take a selfie.
Please take a selfie on the day of completing IDology.
I completed IDology, why do I have to do it again?
You will need to complete IDology again for one or more of the following reasons:
The link is no longer working, I think I messed up on completing the ID verification, what do I do?

Star Code в Roblox
Roblox создал своего рода партнерскую программу, которая дает создателям контента и влиятельным лицам возможность получать доход от своих поклонников. Это так называемые звездные коды, и они выдаются только некоторым из лучших создателей видео Roblox! Итак, мы рассмотрим всех влиятельных лиц, у которых есть коды, и рассмотрим как их использовать, и даже получить самостоятельно!
Срок действия этого списка кодов не истек, поэтому все они должны быть в рабочем состоянии и работать нормально прямо сейчас!
Список кодов Roblox Stars
Вот список действующих звездных кодов:
Мы пропустили код? Дайте мне знать в комментариях, чтобы мы могли добавить это!
Часто задаваемые вопросы по Star Code
По этой программе много часто задаваемых вопросов, поэтому я собираюсь рассмотреть некоторые из них ниже!
Что такое Stars code?
Это код, который вы можете использовать для поддержки создателя контента. Если вы введете звездный код влиятельного лица при покупке Robux, они получат 5% от вашей покупки. Это ничего вам не стоит, так что это простой способ поддержать того, кто вам нравится!
Как получить Stars Code?
Получить его довольно сложно, потому что вам нужно будет попасть в программу Video Stars. Для этого вам нужно будет соответствовать следующим критериям.
Это довольно сложная задача, поэтому так сложно получить один из этих кодов. Я предполагаю, что в будущем требования станут легче, но сейчас вам нужно будет достичь некоторых высоких целей, чтобы приобрести его.
Как погасить Star Code?
Звездные коды можно использовать при покупке Robux. Когда вы выберете количество Robux, которое хотите купить, вы попадете на экран способа оплаты.
Вам нужно будет нажать на ссылку «Нажмите здесь» слева, которая позволит вам добавить звездный код. Как только вы нажмете эту ссылку, откроется текстовое поле, в котором вы можете ввести код. Скопируйте один из нашего списка и вставьте его в коробку. Убедитесь, что оно точно совпадает, даже с заглавными буквами. Затем вы можете нажать кнопку «Добавить», чтобы ввести код. Каждый раз в течение следующих двух недель, когда вы покупаете Robux, владелец Star Code будет получать 5% от покупки Robux, которую вы сделали!
По истечении этих двух недель код будет удален, и вам придется повторно ввести его так же, как и раньше!
Зачем использовать Star Code?
Что ж, действительно нет причин не использовать код. Вы должны делать это каждый раз, когда покупаете Robux, потому что для вас нет ничего плохого. Это позволяет вам поддержать создателя контента, купив Robux, который вы все равно собирались купить!
Если вы не уверены, кого поддерживать, я бы обычно выбирал влиятельного лица меньшего размера. У создателей контента с исключительно большим количеством подписчиков обычно есть масса людей, уже использующих их код. Попытайтесь повысить людей, которые продвигаются!
Что такое группа Star Code?
Есть группа для людей, которые специально участвуют в программе Roblox Video Stars. Вы можете найти это прямо здесь.

Bonus: tricks to get free Robux
Don’t want to pay a penny on Robux but to get them for free or at a discounted price? Then try using Coupert, a free and legit browser extension that tells you if there are available promo codes when you purchase Robux or any other items. It tries them all to find the one that gives you the best discount, and applies it for you.
All you need to do is install the extension (available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox and it’s not restricted to certain regions). Then head to Roblox.com or any other sites to add any items you want. Upon checkout, the extension will pop up an alert when there are coupons available. Then you need to click Apply Coupons, then it will test and apply the best discount for you automatically. If there are no alerts, simply click on the extension on the top-right corner and it will show you all the promo codes that are available. If there are no codes available, you still can benefit from Coupert as it helps you earn cash back.
