  • Summary

  • A Sky News investigation has found illegal casinos are allowing children to gamble using their accounts on Roblox, one of the most popular video games in the world.

    Although the unlicensed casinos are not published on Roblox, they allow children of any age to sign up using their Roblox credentials to bet their in-game currency (Robux) on games like slots and blackjack. In response to Sky’s investigation, the Gambling Commission has taken action against the "criminal" websites, but how were they allowed to operate for so long?

    Niall is joined by our science and technology reporter, Mickey Carrol and digital investigations journalist, Ben van de Merwe to explain how these illegal casinos operate and what is being done to take them down.
