Roblox YouTuber uwucutesingle has finally issued a public apology for promoting an unlawful gambling website on her social media platforms. The apology arrives shortly after the YouTuber was criticized by millions of her followers and several Roblox community members.
The rise of Roblox gambling platforms prompts significant questions on the convergence of virtual environments, gaming, and behaviors resembling gambling. While there are advocates who suggest that these sites can be viewed as harmless forms of entertainment, others raise concerns over potential adverse effects, particularly among younger individuals.
Over the course of the past year, Roblox TikTokers have promoted major gambling sites that require users to wager their Robux in exchange for “exclusive items” if they win. While these sites are illegal because they’re promoted by teenagers to children between the ages of 8 and 15, their advertisements have now moved to YouTube.
Among those who promoted these sites, the most popular was uwucutesingle, a prominent Roblox TikToker turned YouTuber who promoted BloxFlip in several of her videos. As a consequence, millions of the YouTuber’s followers and members of the Roblox community criticized her actions.
Following the backlash, the YouTuber issued a formal apology on her channel and in a community post.

The YouTuber issued a formal apology in the form of a community post on her channel after receiving significant backlash over the past few months. She also posted a video in which she apologized for her past errors and asked the community to stop using racial slurs against her.
The apology comes just a few days after PackGod roasted her on Steak’s live broadcast, and according to uwucutesingle’s post, they advised her to avoid these sites that promote Robux scams after the live stream. In addition, KreekCraft posted a video highlighting the situation and the widespread promotion of this scam by teenagers.
Following her online apology, however, the player community was divided. One such user said, “That’s what I wanted to hear. Thank you for being genuine and honest with your actions”. While another one added, “You need to realize gambling sites are not the only thing people hate you for”.
However, the majority of comments on her community post have been positive and supportive of the YouTuber’s sincere apology to her followers.
