No more currency conversion, gaming platform Roblox to launch wallet to pay creators — What we know | Mint
Roblox is launching its own digital wallet so creators get paid faster, instead of waiting for virtual currency Robux to be converted into dollars. This affects the roughly 42,000 paid creators on the platform. Roblox says the wallet is a financial account, not a bank account. If you earn there, keep your own records of every payout for tax purposes.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Roblox will launch a digital wallet to pay creators faster, replacing the current system where Robux is converted into dollars, which causes long payment delays.
- Roblox says it has paid over $5 billion to creators since 2013, including $1.7 billion over the past twelve months.
- Roblox's chief commercial officer said the wallet is a financial account and not a bank account, and the company will not become a bank.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you earn money on Roblox, save a record of each payout and ask a tax professional how such income from an overseas platform should be reported in your return, since the treatment depends on your facts.
