A California federal judge has ordered a proposed class action lawsuit against Roblox to arbitration, finding that users received sufficiently conspicuous notice that clicking “Sign Up” or “Continue” on the platform bound them to the company’s terms of use, including its arbitration clause.
Plaintiffs Michael and Salena Garcia filed the class action lawsuit on behalf of their minor child, identified as “R.G.,” alleging that Roblox secretly collected and harvested personal data from users, including children under age 13.
Roblox moved to compel arbitration, arguing that the Garcias created three separate accounts and clicked “Sign Up,” “Continue,” “Redeem” and “Buy” buttons on the platform multiple times between May 2023 and March 2025. Each time, Roblox said, the family was notified that proceeding constituted acceptance of the company’s terms of use and arbitration provision.
U.S. District Judge Wesley Hsu granted Roblox’s motion, finding that the plaintiffs assented to the arbitration clause. The court relied on a 2024 Ninth Circuit decision, Keebaugh v. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc., which held that users had reasonably conspicuous notice of an arbitration provision through a sign-in wrap agreement in a mobile app.
Judge Hsu determined that Roblox’s sign-up page similarly provided clear notice that clicking “Sign Up” or “Continue” would bind users to the terms of use, including arbitration. The court also rejected arguments that the arbitration provision was procedurally or substantively unconscionable.
Court rejects unconscionability arguments in Roblox class action lawsuit
The plaintiffs argued that the arbitration agreement’s waiver of public injunctive relief rendered it unconscionable. However, the court noted that Roblox’s 2025 terms of use expressly allow an arbitrator to award such relief if permitted by law and warranted by the individual claims.
Because the court compelled arbitration, Roblox’s pending motion to dismiss the class action lawsuit was deemed moot.
The Garcias’ class action lawsuit accuses Roblox of violating privacy laws by collecting children’s personal data without proper consent and failing to adequately disclose its data practices. Roblox has denied the allegations.
In a separate class action, two parents also sued Roblox, alleging it violated children’s privacy by tracking their data without consent.
