Why do I need a Roku account?
You need a Roku account for several reasons:
• It links you, your Roku TV, and your other Roku streaming devices to the Roku
Channel Store and billing service.
• Streaming content providers know that it’s OK to send content you request to
your Roku TV.
• Roku can automatically send updates to your device.
You need a Roku account to activate your device and access entertainment across
thousands of streaming channels. Linking to a Roku account also activates several
advanced features on your TV, such as Guest Mode, the Roku Mobile App, and Live TV
Pause, to name just a few. Roku accounts are free, and while a valid credit card number
is not required to create your account, providing your credit card information makes
renting and purchasing entertainment from the Roku Channel Store fast and
convenient.
