How to buy Robux from Argentina and how much they cost
Buying Robux seems cheap in dollars, until the credit card statement arrives and the total is considerably higher than expected. Here we break down how much Robux cost, what taxes are added when paying from Argentina, and how to buy them safely.
Download the belo app and check out how to hold a dollar balance for your international purchases, according to your account and applicable terms.
Robux and Roblox Plus Pricing
On the Roblox website, 1,000 Robux cost USD 9.99. On the mobile app, the same amount gets you fewer Robux (800, for example), due to Apple and Google store fees.
Understanding how to buy Robux from Argentina without losing money along the way starts with knowing the base prices, which Roblox always lists in US dollars.
Robux Packs on the Web
Robux | Price in USD |
|---|---|
500 | 4.99 |
1,000 | 9.99 |
2,000 | 19.99 |
5,250 | 49.99 |
11,000 | 99.99 |
As of April 30, 2026, Roblox Plus replaced Roblox Premium for new subscribers. It costs USD 4.99 per month, does not include monthly Robux, and adds perks like discounts on Robux purchases and private servers.
Roblox also announced Plus plans with 500, 1,000, or 2,000 Robux per month; check their pricing on roblox.com, as it changes frequently. Those who already had Premium can keep it.
What Happens When Paying with an Argentine Bank Card
The Robux price you see on the screen is never what you end up paying if you use a debit or credit card issued by an Argentine bank.
The amount is converted to pesos and taxes are added: a 21% VAT (IVA) on digital services and a 30% tax withholding toward Income or Personal Assets Tax, plus Gross Income Tax (Ingresos Brutos) in some provinces (around 2% in CABA and Buenos Aires). The PAIS Tax ceased to apply in December 2024.
As a quick calculation for CABA or Buenos Aires, you can multiply the dollar price by the official exchange rate and then by 1.53.
With the official rate at $1,540, the USD 9.99 pack costs around $23,500 in pesos, compared to around $15,400 without taxes. This is an estimate: the exact amount depends on your bank and your province.
The tax withholdings can be credited as an advance payment on your Income or Personal Assets Tax return, but that requires a procedure many users are unfamiliar with, and the money remains tied up for months.
That is why choosing the right payment method before purchasing is so important.
How to Buy Robux with the VISA LUX Card
If you want to avoid that cascading surcharge, the most straightforward alternative is to pay with a virtual card for international purchases issued abroad that operates in dollars.
The belo VISA LUX card is a global, 100% virtual Visa that is activated in minutes from the app and allows you to pay using a dollar or USDT balance without going through currency conversion to pesos or the Argentine banking system.
Steps to Buy Robux with the VISA LUX Card
Open your belo account and load a balance in dollars or USDT (you need more than 25 USDT to request the card, which is a balance requirement, not a fee).
Once the virtual card is activated, go to Roblox from the app or your browser.
Choose the Robux pack or Roblox Plus plan you want.
On the payment screen, enter your VISA LUX card details.
The card is charged at the moment of purchase against your balance, based on the amount defined at that instant.
The card has no issuance fee or monthly maintenance cost, but international purchases carry a 1% fee.
Because belo maintains a list of restricted merchants, it is best to check the help center before buying. The belo Mastercard, on the other hand, is designed for payments in pesos within Argentina, such as food delivery, transportation, or purchases at physical stores.
It is not advisable to use it for foreign currency purchases because those transactions are converted to pesos at the official selling exchange rate of Banco de la Nación Argentina on the transaction posting date, plus additional costs.
If you pay with the VISA LUX and have a balance in USDT, you avoid the tax withholdings applied by Argentine bank cards, which can make the same pack more than 50% more expensive.
A similar thing happens when you want to pay for Netflix with fewer taxes using a virtual card.
Free Robux, Scams, and Safe Buying
Whenever a game has a popular virtual currency, websites appear claiming to offer free currency in exchange for completing surveys, downloading apps, or entering account details.
In the case of Roblox, these sites are scams. Roblox does not authorize the generation of Robux outside of its platform, and any page asking for your password or personal data in exchange for Robux can compromise your account or install malware.
The safest rule is to buy only from the official Roblox app or from roblox.com. If a link arrives via direct message, a YouTube video, or a social media post promising free Robux, ignore it.
You can report these sites to Roblox support, and enabling two-step verification helps protect your account.
For those wondering how to buy Robux in Argentina without a credit card, the most accessible option is to use a virtual card like belo's VISA LUX, which works with your dollar or USDT balance and lets you pay in dollars without a credit card.
It requires a verified belo account; if the player is a minor, it is recommended that a responsible adult make the purchase.
What changes depending on the payment method is not the price set by Roblox, but how much you ultimately pay, something that also applies when you want to buy Steam games with fewer taxes.
Checking the payment method before clicking "buy" is the step that saves the most money in the whole process. Download the belo app and review the terms currently in effect for your account.
Frequently Asked Questions About How to Buy Robux from Argentina and How Much They Cost
Can I buy Robux from Argentina without a credit card?
Yes. With belo's VISA LUX card, you can pay for Robux using a dollar or USDT balance, without needing a bank credit card. The card is 100% virtual and can be activated from the belo app in minutes.
Why is the price in pesos charged by Argentine banks higher than Roblox's dollar price?
Because on top of the exchange rate, a 21% VAT on digital services from abroad and a 30% advance tax withholding for Income or Personal Assets Tax are added, plus Gross Income Tax in some provinces. All these levies are applied to the dollar amount converted into pesos.
Is Roblox Plus worth it compared to buying standalone Robux packs?
It depends on how you play. Roblox Plus costs USD 4.99 per month and does not include Robux, but it adds discounts on Robux purchases and private servers. If you only buy Robux occasionally, standalone packs are usually more convenient.
Can the tax withholdings charged by Argentine banks be recovered?
They can be claimed as an advance tax payment on your annual Income or Personal Assets Tax return, depending on your tax status. The drawback is that the money remains tied up for months and the process requires filing a tax return.
What happens if you buy Robux from an unofficial site?
Any third-party site offering Robux, especially for free or at a discounted price, is a scam. Roblox only generates and distributes Robux within its official platform, and using third-party sites can lead to stolen credentials or malware installation.
