-title: Engagement-based payouts
-description: Engagement-based payouts allow you to earn Robux based on the share of time Roblox Premium members engage in your experience.
----
-
-
-Effective July 24, 2025, the Engagement-Based Payouts program is deprecated and has been replaced by the [Creator Rewards](../../creator-rewards.md) program.
-
-
-Automatic **engagement-based payouts** let you earn Robux based on the share of time that [Premium](https://www.roblox.com/premium/membership) members engage in an experience, regardless of the experience's size. These payouts are in addition to earnings from other [monetization](../../production/monetization/index.md) methods such as [Passes](../../production/monetization/game-passes.md).
-
-To encourage Premium subscriber growth and increase your potential to earn engagement-based payouts, you can add the [Premium Purchase Modal](#premium-purchase-modal) directly into an experience. Keep in mind, users from some countries may not have access to Premium subscriptions.
-
-## Access payout data
-
-Payout data can provide vital feedback to help you understand what factors drive Premium subscribers to your experiences.
-
-To access payout data:
-
-1. Navigate to your [Creations](https://create.roblox.com/dashboard/creations) page on **Creator Dashboard** and select your experience.
-2. Navigate to the **Monetization** tab and select **Engagement Payouts**.
-
-### Engagement payouts
-
-The **Engagement-Based Payouts** charts track payout data based on the following metrics:
-
-- **Premium Playtime Robux Earned:** The amount you can expect to earn for Premium subscriber engagement. This is not based on the daily time Premium subscribers spend engaging with the experience; instead, this metric aggregates each user's behavior over the past 28 days. As such, even though they have similar trends, this metric has no direct mathematical relationship with the Premium Playtime Score.
-
-- **Premium Playtime Score:** The amount of time Premium subscribers engage with the experience per day. This metric can provide immediate feedback on the impact of new features you release.
-
-- **Premium Visits:** How many visits are from Premium members.
-
-
-
-
-Note that the dotted "projected earnings" line becomes solid after the payout amount is final, at which point Roblox adds the payout to your **Pending Robux** amount [here](https://www.roblox.com/transactions).
-
-
-## Premium purchase modal
-
-One strategy to increase engagement-based payouts is to encourage [Premium](https://www.roblox.com/premium/membership) upgrade through the **purchase modal**. Players can complete the purchase entirely within the experience and immediately receive both Premium status and their initial stipend of Robux.
-
-
-
-Premium purchase modal within an experience
-
-
-Remember that Premium membership should not be a "requirement" to enjoy an experience. When implementing incentives for Premium members, it's highly recommended that you follow these best practices:
-
-- Honestly and accurately describe the benefits of upgrading within the experience's [description](../../production/publishing/publish-experiences-and-places.md#publish-experiences).
-- Do not promise Robux or other out-of-experience rewards that you don't control.
-- Do not show the modal as a "paywall" when non-Premium members enter the experience.
-- Consider offering exclusive merch to Premium members, but do not give them a tactical gameplay advantage over others, such as an array of ultra-powerful weapons that non-Premium members can't compete against.
-
-### Check membership
-
-Before scripting any logic related to Premium membership or [triggering the modal](#trigger-the-modal), check a user's `Class.Player.MembershipType|MembershipType` property to determine if they're already subscribed.
-
-```lua
-local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-
-local player = Players.LocalPlayer
-
-if player.MembershipType == Enum.MembershipType.Premium then
- -- Take some action specifically for Premium members
-end
-```
-
-### Trigger the modal
-
-You can trigger the purchase modal with the `Class.MarketplaceService:PromptPremiumPurchase()|PromptPremiumPurchase()` method. For example, the following code prompts users to purchase Premium when their character touches the part that its containing `Class.Script` is attached to, such as a teleporter that allows access to an exclusive area.
-
-```lua
-local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
-local Players = game:GetService("Players")
-
-local teleporter = script.Parent
-local showModal = true
-
-local TELEPORT_POSITION = Vector3.new(1200, 200, 60)
-
--- Teleport character to exclusive area
-local function teleportPlayer(player)
- -- Request streaming around target location
- player:RequestStreamAroundAsync(TELEPORT_POSITION)
-
- -- Teleport character
- local character = player.Character
- if character and character.Parent then
- local currentPivot = character:GetPivot()
- character:PivotTo(currentPivot * CFrame.new(TELEPORT_POSITION))
- end
-end
-
--- Detect character parts touching teleporter
-teleporter.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
- local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
- if not player then return end
-
- if not player:GetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching") then
- player:SetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching", 0)
- end
- player:SetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching", player:GetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching") + 1)
-
- if player.MembershipType == Enum.MembershipType.Premium then
- -- User has Premium; teleport character to exclusive area within experience
- teleportPlayer(player)
- else
- -- Show purchase modal, using debounce to show once every few seconds at most
- if not showModal then return end
- showModal = false
- task.delay(5, function()
- showModal = true
- end)
- MarketplaceService:PromptPremiumPurchase(player)
- end
-end)
-
--- Detect character parts exiting teleporter
-teleporter.TouchEnded:Connect(function(otherPart)
- local player = Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(otherPart.Parent)
- if player and player:GetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching") then
- player:SetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching", player:GetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching") - 1)
- end
-end)
-
--- Handle membership changed event
-Players.PlayerMembershipChanged:Connect(function(player)
- warn("User membership changed; new membership is " .. tostring(player.MembershipType))
-
- -- Teleport character if membership type is Premium and character is on teleporter
- if player.MembershipType == Enum.MembershipType.Premium and player:GetAttribute("CharacterPartsTouching") > 0 then
- teleportPlayer(player)
- end
-end)
-```
