You can hold their previous achievements hostage and only give Robux on the original account.

Fair enough. I get Robux through Microsoft Rewards though, and I'd rather Microsoft lose money than Roblox.

Presumably you are an adult lol

Either way, the point i was going for is that minors should not be given money converted into "currency" to spend in online stores that are set up like casinos.

They can play with crypto once they turn 18!

Microsoft Rewards gives you 100 robux for every 10 days where you search 32 days with Bing legitimately. So what happens is I get Microsoft to spend on "crypto".

Once they turn 18, you can't even control what they do. If they've never used any money before, you bet they're gonna trash it all.
