Are you receiving Roblox error code 524 with a message saying:

Well, this issue is commonly faced by almost every Roblox player where you are restricted access to join the game.

But, before getting started, we will discuss the 524 authorization error and the reason for its occurrence in detail. You can also know about roblox error 277 here. 

​What is Roblox Authorization Error 524 and why does it occur?

Roblox authorization error code 524 is the issue which occurs when a Roblox user attempts to access a VIP server (whether joining normally or as a guest), but fails. 

Let’s discuss the above statement in detail: 

Say, you are attempting to join your most desired Roblox Bloxburg game. But you can’t join the game despite trying. This happens  when the game developer/creator himself has made it a VIP server. Consequently, this limits the number of access to that particular game. Only those people can enter the game who are chosen by the creator of that game.

Apart from the above reason, some users have also reported that the Roblox error 524 may also occur due to delayed network connection, resulting in Connection Timeout. So, make sure your gaming device (laptop/tablet/PC)etc. has got a solid internet connection before you start playing your favorite games.

Note: The Roblox Authorization Error 524 can occur both on the mobile as well as the desktop devices. 

Lastly, another reason behind the appearance of the authorization error is that the gamer may be an underage user of not more than 13 years old. 

If you are a minor, then there are two tips to sort the game joining issue:

• Firstly, wait till you reach the minimum playable age, naturally 
• Secondly, you need to produce evidence to the EA (Electronic Arts) proving that you have already crossed the underage limit

For the second tip, you have to get in touch with the EA Support Desk and comply with the instructions diligently. Here are the needful that you must fulfil:

• An authorized age validation document along with your current picture
• All the necessary credentials to facilitate EA in verifying your account (in terms of source name, gamertag, and others)
• Save the case number that you get from the help desk (the case number is provided only after you submit a help request  to EA help desk
• When EA gets your updated information, they will upgrade your date of birth in their original account. Also, they will send an email to them detailing the instructions for the completion of the age process.
