Free Nintendo eShop gift cards for playing games

Nintendo eShop is the digital store on Nintendo Switch, where you buy downloadable games, DLC and your Nintendo Switch Online membership. With Playout you can get a free Nintendo eShop gift card by playing casual games on your phone and add the funds to your Nintendo Account. Every finished level adds coins, the coins become real money, and you cash that out as eShop credit. You never pay anything; your playtime does the work.

How to get a free Nintendo eShop gift card in 3 steps

1. Install Playout and pick a game. Get Playout free from Google Play; there’s no sign-up form, and your account lives on your phone. Every game on the shelf installs free from Google Play. Browse the games to find one you like.
2. Finish levels. Each finished level adds coins. Every four hours, all your coins convert into real money in your balance, which keeps stacking until you cash out.
3. Cash out for Nintendo eShop. Once you reach the minimum, tap your balance at the top of the Home screen and choose a Nintendo eShop gift card. Open the email, accept the reward, and redeem the code on your Switch.

The gift cards you can pick depend on your country, and the app shows the ones available to you. The minimum is low, set per currency and shown in the app, and payouts go out in round amounts, with anything above staying in your balance for next time.

What you can get with a Nintendo eShop gift card

A Nintendo eShop gift card adds funds to your Nintendo Account. You can spend them in Nintendo eShop on:

• Digital games for Nintendo Switch, from Nintendo’s own series to indie games.
• DLC and expansions for the games you already play.
• Nintendo Switch Online, the membership for online play and its library of classic games.

The funds belong to your Nintendo Account rather than to one console, so they’re there whenever you open Nintendo eShop signed in to that account.

How to redeem your Nintendo eShop code

Your Nintendo eShop gift card arrives by email, usually within minutes. In the app’s payout history, “Sent” means the email is already in your inbox. Open it, accept the reward, and you’ll have your code. Then, on your Nintendo Switch:

1. Open Nintendo eShop from the HOME Menu.
2. Select the account you want to add the funds to.
3. Choose Redeem Code, enter your code and confirm.

You can also redeem a code on the Nintendo eShop website while signed in to your Nintendo Account. The funds are added to your account balance, ready for your next download.

Ways to earn coins faster

Every finished level counts, and these extras help each round add up sooner:

• Grow your daily streak. Finish 5 levels in any game each day. Every streak day raises a coin boost, and because it’s based on your best streak, it stays with you. See the daily streak.
• Claim the daily challenges. Finished challenges give you tickets, and a full set unlocks a dice roll for bonus coins. See daily challenges.
• Collect Live Event items. The weekly Live Event rewards finished levels with items, and collecting enough wins a share of the prize pool as money in your balance. See the Live Event.
• Play with friends. Share your username as your invite code: your friend starts with 2x earnings for 48 hours, and each qualified friend adds +5% to your coin boost. See inviting friends, and send gifts to friends every day.

Every game on the shelf counts. Smash towers in Crown Crush, clear parking lots in Jelly Jam, or sort candies in Candy Cannon Sort. Think of it as eShop credit for time you’d spend on your phone anyway, a fun bonus that grows with how much and how regularly you play.

Other rewards

Your balance can also become a PlayStation gift card, an Xbox gift card, or a Roblox gift card for Robux. Prefer cash? Pick PayPal. Our guide to free gaming gift cards compares them all.
