Roblox alone decides DevEx eligibility, can change the requirements, and still decides whether to offer a Cash Out
To take part in DevEx you must meet all of the listed minimum requirements. Meeting them does not guarantee anything: eligibility is solely up to Roblox, Roblox can change the requirements at any time by updating the DevEx Terms (and can add, remove or modify them for any reason), and even a creator who satisfies every requirement only gets a Cash Out if Roblox decides, in its sole discretion, to offer one and how much it will be.
