A Google Play gift card is a prepaid code that adds balance to your Google Play account. You can use that balance for apps, games and in-app purchases such as game currencies, and for many subscriptions billed through Google Play. The balance stays on the Google account that redeems it and generally cannot be transferred or cashed out.
Google Play is a Google service. SMM Target is an independent reseller of digital cards and is not affiliated with Google.
Google states that gift cards can only be redeemed in the country where they were issued, and they must match the country of your Google Play profile. A US card will not work on an Egyptian or Saudi Play account, for example. You can check your Play country under Settings → General → Account and device preferences → Country and profiles in the Play Store app. Google also limits how often you can change your Play country (about once a year at the time of writing), so switching countries to use a card is rarely a good idea.
Before ordering, tell support your Play country. If we cannot supply a card for that country, we will say so before you pay. Our guide Digital gift cards: how to choose the right region explains this for every major card.
Cards are delivered as a digital code by message or email after payment, on request. Denominations and availability vary by country, so support confirms the exact card and price before you pay. The delivery time on this page is set by our team.

Yes, in games that sell their currency through Google Play billing, the Play balance can pay for it.
Rules can differ by country; check Google Play’s gift card terms for your country on Google’s help pages.
Be very careful: requests to pay bills, taxes or prizes with gift cards are a common scam. Gift cards are for your own Play purchases.
