Players ask about StarPets more than about almost any single MM2 item. The questions are always the same: is it safe, is it a scam, is it allowed, what is the wheel of fortune. This page answers them with the rule and with what players have actually reported.
What the Roblox rules say
The Roblox Community Standards, in the section on the Roblox economy and fraud, list as prohibited:
Engaging in off-platform, secondary market transactions for account access or virtual content from games.
and
Using third-party services to buy, sell, trade, or give away Robux.
An MM2 weapon is virtual content from a game. Buying one for money on an outside site is a secondary market transaction. That is the rule, and it applies whether the shop is large, small, or recommended by a streamer.
Nothing in the rule depends on whether the shop is honest. A shop can deliver exactly what you paid for and the purchase is still against the rules.
Why players buy anyway
Honest reasons first, because they are real:
- A final reward of 100,000 candies is a long grind, and a 3,399 Robux bundle is a lot of money for a child.
- Some players say it is a children's game and a few dollars for a knife harms nobody.
- Prices outside the game can look small next to the price inside it. One video's top comments: "I'd rather pay $1-3 than $30".
Those arguments are why this topic never ends. They do not change the rule, and they skip the risks below.
The risks players describe
The item can come from a stolen account
Shops list items that real people sell. A player in a 2026 thread wrote that a store does not sell items itself, it passes along items from users, and does not check where they came from. If the seller got the item by beaming another player, the loss lands on the person who bought it, not on the shop.
The account can be punished
Players who argue against buying put this first: it breaks the Roblox terms of service. A purchase on an outside site is a rule violation, and that gives Roblox a reason to act on the account that made it.
Fake shops and fake promo codes
Not every site that says StarPets is StarPets. Players warn that scammers on TikTok streams call themselves "sponsors of StarPets", and videos titled "all working promo codes" lead to people asking "is the website real?". "Promo codes" for a shop are not MM2 codes. MM2 itself has no working codes right now, as of October 2026.
Honest sellers still carry risk
One Reddit reply on a thread about StarPets: "not a scam, but not recommended". Another poster said an older site cost them money. Those are opinions, not facts about any shop's whole record. But they show what to expect from advice online: mixed.
The wheel of fortune is gambling
Many searches add "wheel of fortune" to the shop name. A wheel or a case is a random prize for a payment, whatever it is called. MM2 itself added drop chances to its own boxes in September 2026 to comply with Roblox gambling rules, and the Roblox rules on paid random items require chances to be disclosed before purchase. A wheel on an outside site is outside the game and outside those chance displays. If a child is spinning one, the child is gambling with real money.
Why creators promote shops
If you watch MM2 videos, you have seen it. Streamers and video makers put links to item shops in descriptions with promo codes. Several Russian-language channels do this with StarPets, DreamPets, Starvell, Robuy and Tropical; an English-language creator promotes mm2.cheap. The community criticises it. One comment: "streamers... promoting these sites for a cut".
The code in the description is not a gift. It is how the creator is paid when you buy.
Why a dollar price is not the item's value
Every item in this game has two numbers that people mix up.
- Value is what players agree the item is worth in trades with other items. It comes from demand, rarity and stability. Players set it, not the developer.
- Price in dollars or Robux is what a seller asks for cash.
The two drift apart for simple reasons. A bundle sells for 3,399 Robux because the developer sets the price, but in trades it is worth a lot less than that; players say so in every thread about it. And outside the game, prices move with hype: one player said a set that cost $9 a year ago is now around $90.
So a dollar price tells you how much someone wants cash. It does not tell you what the item will trade for. For that, look at the values table and compare in the trade calculator.
What I would tell a younger player
- Play the event, take free giveaways, trade up with items you earned. Players describe going from a leaf knife to a Darkbringer in three days that way.
- Do not give a shop your login. No real shop needs it.
- If a parent's card is involved, tell the parent it is an off-platform purchase.
