Aka: first poster gets [set amount] of robux
I mean, think of it as donating to the first one to do something. Like post on a thread, etc.
You know what I find worse than this?
Giving money in return for a product. THOSE are likely to be scams, not these giveaways people call raffles. Search 'get drawn' in the t-shirt section and look at all the wonderful scams. Yet people get banned for giving away their own money for something like this as the scammers who own the t-shirts remain unmoderated?

It makes people sad that they didn't win.

raffles are never a 100% guarantee
someone could say they're giving out 10 robux and never give it to the winner

@iluv,
Read my thread again. See if that's really an issue compared to the 'get drawn' scams.

it's a form of gambling with both robux and tickets. robux was most likely earned by buying it or buying bc

Gambling. Get out. Drawn shirts don't have to do with gambling, and the mods are busy.

They're not allowed because it's still a transaction outside of official Roblox methods. Since you can't transfer money like that, you aren't allowed to do it.

It's not gambling if you know exactly who's going to get it - whomever posts first.

@MrDoom,
Wouldn't that make all transactions like that against the rules?
i.e. 'Buy this shirt and I'll make you an ad.' , 'Buy this and you'll be drawn.'
Both of those are all over and never deleted.

It is actually considered as spam. Giving out robux, you make them do something, and it never even happens.

You just don't get it..

You're giving a free giveaway.

This is encouraging kids to give away virtual currency ( mostly bought with something like bc or robux ).
