PLS DONATE is both a popular Roblox game and a common in‑chat request where players ask others to give them Robux, Roblox’s paid virtual currency. In the game context, players set up donation booths and receive Robux when other users purchase gamepasses or donate through the game’s systems.
How the game works and how donations are processed
Game mechanics
Players create a gamepass (a purchasable item tied to their account) and place a booth or stand in the game to advertise it; other players can then buy that pass to “donate” Robux to the booth owner.
The in‑game Robux shown is the sale price, but the actual amount the recipient receives is reduced by Roblox’s transaction fees and may take time to appear in the recipient’s account as pending Robux.
Payment flow and timing
Donations are processed as gamepass sales, so the Robux appear as pending and can take up to several days to finalize in your Roblox transaction history.
The amount you see in the game is not always the final amount you receive because Roblox applies its developer/transaction cut.
Legitimacy, common misconceptions, and community views
Is it real Robux or a scam?
The PLS DONATE game and similar donation systems are legitimate ways to receive Robux because they rely on actual gamepass purchases; however, there are important caveats about fees and processing time.
Outside the official game mechanics, random chat requests like “pls donate” are just requests and do not automatically grant Robux unless someone intentionally purchases a pass or uses an official donation mechanism.
Community perspective
Many players donate out of generosity or to help younger players buy cosmetics; others use it to promote their stands or social presence in the game.
Safety, risks, and how to avoid scams
Risks to watch for
Impersonation and phishing: Scammers may promise free Robux or ask for account details; never share passwords or personal info.
Fake donation promises: Outside the official gamepass flow, offers of “free Robux” or requests to transfer Robux off‑platform are red flags.
Delayed or reduced payouts: Expect Roblox’s fees and pending periods; don’t assume the in‑game number equals your final balance.
Practical safety steps
Use only the official gamepass/donation features inside Roblox; verify the game’s page and developer info before interacting.
Check your pending transactions on Roblox to confirm sales and expected payouts rather than relying solely on in‑game displays.
Quick how‑to for creators and receivers
For creators who want donations
Create a gamepass in your Roblox Creator Dashboard (Place > Passes > Create a Pass) and set a price.
Claim a booth in PLS DONATE or similar games and advertise your pass so others can buy it.
Monitor pending Robux via your Roblox transactions page to see sales and final payouts.
For players who want to donate safely
Donate by purchasing the creator’s official gamepass inside Roblox; avoid external payment requests or offers that require account sharing
