Trading Safety

Trade Icons

We want you to enjoy all the fun features of Adopt Me! but remain safe while doing so. In which case, you may choose to start trading with other players. As such, it is important to know who you are trading with.

If you're new to trading, we recommend sticking to trading with friends you know and are trustworthy until you become more comfortable with trading. There may be some users with bad intentions who will impersonate your friend's username, so always be on the lookout. You will know you're trading with a verified friend by the smiley face next to their name.

In addition, when trading with a friend on your Roblox friends list, you will see a border around their name along with the text Verified Friend being displayed above their name.

What do the different icons mean?

When trading with players you have three different icons you can see.

No Icon

If you see no icon, this means this player is not on your friends list, a member of the Uplift Games team or an Influencer. Always make sure you check these players carefully, they may not be who they say they are! You can, at any time, select the arrow icon to the left of their name to view their Adopt Me Profile.

Smiley Face

The smiley face icon shows that the person you are trading with is in your Roblox friends list. This will also be paired with a yellow border and the Verified Friend text.

Purple Butterfly

The purple butterfly icon shows that the person you are trading with is a member of the Uplift Games team and play a role in the development of Adopt Me!

Gold Star

The gold star icon shows that the person you are trading with is a member of the Official Adopt Me Influencer Program. These influencers have gone through a verification process during their selection into the program.

Trading Tip: To be certain that you are trading with your friend, make sure you communicate with your friend on another platform while trading so that they can confirm you are trading with them. 

Please also be aware that some users may pretend to be staff members to try to get items from you. The Uplift team does not typically trade with users; however, Uplift staff members can be recognised by their purple name tag and the Uplift butterfly icon in the trade menu.

Trade Viewing

If you're new to trading, and you're trading with someone unfamiliar, while they may not have any bad intentions, it may be safer for you to ask a friend or a parent to watch along as you trade. This can be done by clicking on the avatar of whoever is trading and selecting "Spectate Trade". By having someone watch over your trade, you can be more confident that you're trading safely.

Player Reporting
If you ever spot anyone who is misbehaving, making you feel uncomfortable, attempting to scam users, etc., you can report them to the Roblox team through their Roblox profile. 

If someone has scammed or hacked you, you can also report users through the trading license by reporting the trade. Click on your trading license and head to the fraudulent trade. There will be a report button next to the trade, and clicking on it will initiate the report. Provide a detailed description of what happened and why you're making the report, and press the report button again to send it off.


Our Support team can only act within the scope of Adopt Me, so if you would like your report to have more of an impact, we also recommend reporting the user to Roblox themselves. Roblox has this handy guide showing you how to report a player.
