5:48Now PlayingIt's been more than a year since Sky News revealed children using the gaming platform Roblox were being lured into gambling by illegal online casinos. Both Roblox and the Gambling Commission said they were taking action.
But our latest investigation shows it's very much still happening, even when users openly admit they're underage.
Roblox told Sky News it "firmly prohibits all simulated and actual gambling activities on our platform, and players are prohibited from engaging in off-platform secondary-market transactions for Roblox items or Robux".
"Websites like these are in no way endorsed or authorized by Roblox and we take numerous steps to disrupt their activity, taking action against associated accounts as well as filtering out references to these sites across our platform."
