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? |

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 ). |
