Is flame.gg legit or a scam?
A gaming reward site for free Robux and gift cards that is currently flagged by four antivirus engines and shows signs of being abandoned.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

MT Intelligence
Our analysis found that the site is flagged as malicious by four security engines, including ADMINUSLabs and Fortinet. While historical data from 2019 suggests it once functioned as a platform for earning Robux and gift cards, the current page only displays a 'Redirecting...' message and often fails to load. The domain owner's identity is hidden behind a paid privacy service, and there is no verifiable business registration. Independent review aggregators give it a low trust score, and some users have recently flagged it as potential fraud. The lack of active content combined with security flags makes it a high-risk destination.
