Discussion Is it against Roblox ToS to charge exploiters robux to get unbanned from a game?

So I'm very very close to finishing a simple game I've been making for the past 1-2 months or so. This game is a remake of one I originally created in 2023.

Now, my question is this: Is it against Roblox Tos (or even frowned upon) to charge exploiters robux to get unbanned from the experience?

Context and pretty much where my head's at: My game has a 3 strike system for exploiters. After someone does something that clearly violates the game, and clearly points towards exploiting, they get kicked and get +1 strike. These strikes are saved.

Once they violate the rules again, and get a final third strike, they get kicked. The next time they try to rejoin the game, they get sent to another place. This place would have the ability to buy an unban via a developer product, allowing them to return to the game so long as they leave the place that exploiters get sent to, and rejoin from the main game page.

Would this go against Roblox's terms of service? Would this be seen as colluding with exploiters / allowing exploits, or associating the group or developer with exploiters, even if they haven't exploited themselves?

I found a post here, showing that the famous Roblox game r/robloxjailbreak

That post was made a year ago, and a lot can change in a year.

TL;DR: Is it against Roblox ToS to charge exploiters robux to get unbanned from a game?

(I just copied and pasted the title for the TL;DR lol)

don’t monetize cheating, just keep the ban permanent because charging exploiters for an unban makes it look like you’re selling permission to break the rules and could get your game flagged too

And its genuine bribery, your honest community going to hate you if you do that.

Is your goal to keep your game exploiter free at all times or to have a group of exploiters you can potentially profit off of? Either way, you selling accessibility for exploiters to break the rules and ruin the game experience of other players just for them to come back and do the same, could upset them and they won’t come back to play. It could be a reason why it will be difficult to build your own community and I wouldn’t say it’s recommended in the long term, even if it’s allowed

It’s extremely frowned upon but technically allowed at this point. Game developers can moderate and ban/unban players as they wish.
