Overview
- Epic amended developer rules to prohibit any in-island transactions that directly or indirectly influence prize wheels.
- The policy outlaws purchasable spins, items used to buy spins, and 'luck' boosts that improve wheel outcomes.
- The change follows Steal The Brainrot adding V-Buck spins and 'luck' for prizes plus loot boxes, which drew player criticism.
- Random, loot box–style sales are still permitted on creator islands with numerical odds disclosure and a 5,000 V-Buck price ceiling; Epic says its own games will not add paid random items.
- Creators receive 100% of V-Bucks from in-island transactions through year-end before a shift to a 50/50 split after 2026.
