A trustworthy Roblox game marketplace can answer eight questions plainly: where its revenue and player numbers come from, who holds the money and when it is released, how it checks that a seller controls the game, how ownership actually moves, what it costs each side and when, whether prices are asks or completed sales, what happens in a dispute, and what it does not verify. Ask them of every marketplace you consider, Romarket included, and be wary of any that cannot answer in writing.
Roblox does not run a marketplace for buying and selling games, and its help center says it has no official method to buy or sell experiences. Independent marketplaces fill the gap, and they differ more than their home pages suggest. Some may work like classifieds boards where the buyer and seller deal directly; others verify data, hold funds, and structure the transfer. The questions below separate the two.
Romarket runs one of these marketplaces, so it has a commercial interest in how you choose. The questions apply to any marketplace. The last column shows Romarket's own answers, with the page each one comes from, so you can check them instead of taking our word for it. Compare at least two marketplaces on the same questions before you list or buy anywhere.
The eight questions#
| Question | What a good answer looks like | Romarket's answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Where do revenue and player numbers come from? | Read from Roblox, not typed by the seller or pasted from a screenshot | Player counts, visits, favorites, and votes come from Roblox's public data. Revenue, active users, and retention appear only when the seller connects Roblox analytics, and sellers never type them (methodology) |
| 2. Who holds the money, and when is it released? | A licensed third party holds the funds, and the release trigger is stated: the buyer accepts the handover, or a clearly stated inspection window ends | Romarket does not hold funds. Where escrow is used, Escrow.com holds the buyer's payment before ownership moves and releases it when the buyer accepts or, with no dispute, about 24 hours after the inspection period ends (terms) |
| 3. How is control of the game checked? | The seller shows current control on Roblox, and the marketplace states what that check does not prove | The listing flow asks the seller to demonstrate current Roblox control. It is a control check, not an audit of legal ownership, identity, or IP (deal protection) |
| 4. How does ownership move? | Through Roblox's own ownership transfer to a group, never by handing over an account | Roblox's official ownership transfer. Accounts are never part of a sale (transfer guide) |
| 5. What does it cost, who pays, and when? | Published fees, with each side's total visible before committing | Listing is free. Sellers pay a tiered platform fee only when a sale completes, and it comes out of the seller's proceeds. Where escrow is used, buyers pay Escrow.com's base escrow fee, and payment-method or international-wire charges can also apply (pricing) |
| 6. Are prices asks or completed sales? | Labeled as asks unless the marketplace can show a sale | Asking prices are labeled as seller asks, not completed-sale prices (methodology) |
| 7. What happens in a dispute? | A written process that names who decides and what each side can expect | Users first try to resolve the issue in Romarket's messaging. If that fails, a funded escrow's dispute goes through Escrow.com's process, and the deal stays open until Escrow.com reaches a safe terminal outcome (terms, pricing) |
| 8. What does the marketplace not claim? | A plain statement of what is not verified | Romarket does not audit IP, identity, or legal ownership (deal protection), does not appraise games (methodology), and does not guarantee that seller information is accurate or what a game earns after a transfer (terms) |
How to check the answers yourself#
A claim on a home page is not evidence. Each question has a test you can run.
- Data source. Open a listing and look at how revenue is labeled. Ask the seller to make a small change to the live game and to walk you through Creator Hub. If revenue shows as a number the seller could have typed, treat it as a claim.
- Money. Find the escrow provider's name, then check it on the provider's own website instead of through a link in a message. Read what triggers release and how long any inspection window lasts.
- Fees. Work out each side's total at the price you expect. Fees can be flat or tiered, charged to the buyer, the seller, or both, and payment processing can be a separate charge.
- Disputes. Read the terms for what happens after funding, not only before it.
- Limits. Look for the sentence that says what the marketplace does not verify. Treat the absence of one as a warning.
What no marketplace can do for you#
Even with perfect answers, a marketplace cannot confirm that a seller owns every asset, that a contractor assigned their rights, or that revenue will continue under new ownership. Those stay with the parties and the written agreement.
Roblox's help center warns that an offer from another player to buy or sell a game is probably a scam. In our reading, that warning is aimed at unprotected deals with strangers. The rules guide explains how a structured route, with a written agreement, protected payment, and the official transfer, differs from the deals the warning describes.
Where Romarket fits#
Romarket is an independent marketplace for Roblox games. It is an open marketplace, not a brokerage, it lists games rather than Robux, accounts, in-game items, or asset packs, and it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Roblox. Browse the games listed, read how a deal runs, or compare candidate games once you have a shortlist.
