Roblox digital gift cards no longer have the region lock on them and players can redeem them from anywhere on the globe. Check out the community’s reaction to it.
On March 26, 2024, Roblox_RTC posted on X that Roblox gift cards are no longer region-locked. Now, if you’ve purchased a gift card using a certain currency, it will automatically convert to the local currency while redeeming it.
Earlier, digital gift cards were region-locked. Meaning, that the currency on your gift card had to be the same as the currency of your account’s country. This posed a hurdle for many players, especially streamers who often giveaway gift cards.

For players concerned, there will be no extra charges or fees while converting currency. They will receive the exact amount of Credits they paid for. Roblox player LukasThePickle confirmed this by purchasing a UK gift card for GBP and converting it into US Dollars.
