Why group ownership
Games published under a group send all earnings to group funds instead of a personal account. That enables collaboration: funds pay for ads, sponsorships and team payouts, and the structure keeps the game alive even if one person steps away. Transfer your experience to a group early if you plan to build with others.
Payout mechanics
Group owners distribute funds as one-time or recurring payouts to group members. Members must be in the group with the correct roles; recurring payouts allocate fixed percentages that you set once. Only earned funds can be paid out and later DevEx-exchanged by recipients — purchased Robux stays locked to spending.
Team split conventions
Common splits weight role and contribution: a solo developer holding 70–90% with contractors sharing the rest, or equal splits for small teams that all ship work. Whatever the split, write it down before launch — payout disputes are the most common way Roblox teams fall apart, and the funds ledger makes every number auditable.
