Google Play Gift Card — buy with crypto

Quick answer

On Android, open the Play Store, tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Redeem code, enter the code and tap Redeem. On an iPhone or a computer, go to play.google.com/redeem in a browser. The card must match the country of your Google Play account.

Buy a Google Play Gift Card with crypto

Redeem on an Android phone

  1. Open the Play Store

    Make sure the Google account shown at the top right is the one that should receive the balance — switch accounts there if needed.

  2. Go to Redeem code

    Tap your profile icon → Payments & subscriptions → Redeem code (sometimes "Redeem gift code").

  3. Enter the code

    Type or paste the code from your email. Spaces and dashes do not matter; the letters and digits do.

  4. Confirm

    Tap Redeem. The amount is added to your Google Play balance and is used automatically on your next purchase.

Redeem on an iPhone or a computer

The Play Store does not exist on iOS, so the web page is the way in.

  1. Open play.google.com/redeem

    Use any browser and sign in with the Google account that should receive the balance.

  2. Enter the code and redeem

    Paste the code, select Redeem, and confirm. The balance appears on every Android device signed in to that account.

The country rule

A Google Play card only works on an account whose Google Play country matches the card. Google lets you change that country about once a year, and balance from the old country cannot be used in the new one. Check the country (Play Store → profile → Settings → General → Account and device preferences) before you buy.

If the code will not redeem

"Not valid in your country"

The card and your Google Play country differ. Redeem it on an account from the card's country — Google does not convert between regions.

"Code already redeemed"

Check Payments & subscriptions → Budget & history, or Payment methods: the balance may already be on this account or on another of your Google accounts.

Typo or unreadable code

Paste the code directly from the email rather than retyping it. Still refused? Contact the seller with your order details.
