Roblox is a hugely successful game but is often plagued by various problems. Many Roblox players complain about getting Error Code 524 when trying to join a Roblox game. This error can occur due to a server issue but can also occur due to problems on the client’s side. This article will tell you more about this issue and show several ways to fix it.

You do not have permission to join this game.
(Error Code: 524)

Not authorized to join this game
(Error Code: 524)

If you get Error 524, it means that there’s an authorization issue that prevents you from joining a Roblox game. Sometimes, you may get it mid-game after getting kicked from a session.

Some players have attested that they get this error regardless of whether they have any active private servers. They can join a server from the server list, but the Play button won’t let them join.

Here are the most common causes for this error:

• Roblox server-related issues.
• The Roblox app has been corrupted.
• Trying to access a VIP server. If you want to join a VIP server, the owner of the server must configure the server to allow friends and add your account to the Invited Players list.
• Joining a server as a guest. The guest account feature was removed in 2017. To get around this error, you need to create a Roblox account.
• The server you want to join is down or running slowly.

Before trying the fixes below, here are a few things you can do:

• Check the Roblox Server Status webpage.
• Check your Roblox account age. Many Roblox servers don’t allow new players. You must have an account at least 30 days old to join such experiences.
• Check for server age restrictions and ensure your birthday is set correctly in Roblox’s settings.
• Check your Internet connection and make sure it’s stable.
• If you’re connected to the Internet via WiFi, connect using an Ethernet cable.
