Revision as of 14:55, 23 October 2017
Free users are players on ROBLOX that do not have Builders Club. The majority of users on ROBLOX are playing for free. Among most ROBLOX users, these users are known as "NBC" (Non-Builders Club). You can still play most games without having a free account, or an account at all, via being a Guest user. Because of the lack of an official icon for NBC, some users create unofficial ones.
Limitations
The free user is severely limited on privileges. The following are restrictions in place:
- Unable to create shirts and pants
- Unable to sell clothing
- Unable to buy certain things or items in the catalog
- Unable to use "BC Beta Features"
- Unable to use the Trading System.
- Unable to create groups, but can be a member of up to 5 groups.
- The requirement to watch outside ads in the website and a commercial before playing a game. (This does not happen on IOS or Android.)
- No daily login reward
- 90% tax when selling items
- Unable to Receive Robux without getting Builders Club since TIX was removed.
Despite these limitations, there is still much a Free User can enjoy on ROBLOX.
Notes
- Former Builders Club members can have a maximum of 5 active place slots (not to be confused with places).
- Many free accounts are Alternate Accounts. These accounts are often created to allow a person to have multiple places active without purchasing a Builders Club membership.
- As of September 2017, Nightgaladeld annouced on devforum.roblox that all users are given 200 free active game limit.
Before the change of more active game limit:
- Non-Builder’s Club members could have 1 active game, unless they previously had a membership, in which case they could keep up to 5 active games upon their membership expiring
- Builder’s Club members could have up to 10 active games
- Turbo Builder’s Club members could have up to 25 active games
- Outrageous Builder’s Club members could have up to 100 active games

Criticism
Many people have criticized free accounts for having "unfair" and "degrading" benefits compared to those with Builders Club. This includes no daily ROBUX, BC Only features such as hats and places (which pressure some to purchase Builders Club) and other limitations.
However, a strong argument can be made that Builders Club features are necessary to bring new customers, without Builders Club members, ROBLOX has little or no income. Plus Builder Club is just an edition. It wouldn't affect the gameplay.
