Gift cards are one of the most popular rewards for playing games. The easy way to get free gift cards by playing games is to use a reward app: play the casual games you enjoy, build up a balance, and redeem it for a card. You pay nothing; your playtime does the work.
This guide covers how it works, how to choose between a gift card and cash, and how to get the most out of your play.
How playing games turns into gift cards
With Playout, it takes four steps:
- Play games from the shelf. Every finished level adds coins.
- Coins become money. Every four hours, all your coins convert into real money in your balance, which keeps stacking until you cash out.
- Reach the minimum. It’s low, set per currency and shown in the app.
- Choose a gift card in the Rewards tab and get it by email, usually within minutes.
Gift cards are a natural reward for this: they come in many amounts and currencies and arrive by email, ready to use. For a wider look at the options, see games that pay real money.
Gift card or cash: which should you pick?
Pick a gift card when:
- You already shop at that store or use that app store regularly.
- You’d spend the money there anyway, so a card is as good as cash.
- You want a reward that’s ready to use without a separate payment account.
Pick PayPal cash when:
- You want to spend it anywhere or move it to a bank.
- You haven’t decided what to buy yet.
The best reward is the one you’ll enjoy spending, and with Playout you choose each time you cash out.
Which gift cards are the most useful?
- A big online store, like Amazon, because it sells almost everything. Choose the regional store you actually shop in.
- An app store, like Google Play, if you buy apps, games, subscriptions or in-game items on your phone.
- Cash, like PayPal, when you want complete flexibility.
Good to know before you redeem
- Country and store. Many gift cards are tied to a country or a regional store, so pick the one that matches the account you’ll use.
- Delivery. Your gift card arrives by email. Open it and accept the reward, and the card is yours.
- Terms. Each brand has its own gift card terms, worth a quick read if you plan to keep a card for a while.
How to earn gift cards faster
- Play a little every day. Finish five levels a day to grow your daily streak and its lasting coin boost.
- Try the daily challenges. Each one earns a ticket, and a full set unlocks a dice roll for bonus coins.
- Mix up your games. The weekly live event rewards playing across different games. Try Hexa Pop, Candy Cannon Sort or Bolt Out alongside your favorites.
- Invite friends. A friend who enters your invite code starts with double earnings for 48 hours, and you both unlock rewards as they play.
How much to expect
Gift cards from playing games are a fun bonus for time you’d spend playing anyway. The amounts are modest and grow with how much and how regularly you play. The details are in how much you can earn playing games.
