How to Redeem a Google Play Code From Another Country

Google Play codes are region-locked, which means you won’t be able to redeem one if you’ve received it from someone who isn’t in your country. Some users reported being able to redeem the codes but not being able to purchase anything with them.

One possible way to work around this is using a virtual private network (VPN) service. This service enables you to mask your IP address and “trick” Google Play into operating as if you’re in a different country. For example, if you want to redeem a code from the U.S., you should choose that region when configuring your VPN location. You’ll find plenty of VPN services on the internet. For most of them, you’ll need to purchase a subscription.

Once you set up the VPN location, you’ll need to clear the cache for Google Play and relaunch it, and you should now be able to redeem and use your code.

If you haven’t used a VPN already, this may sound a bit complicated. In the end, it may be more expensive to purchase a VPN subscription than simply give up the Google Play code.

Google Play gift cards are an excellent way to give the gift of fun and games to other Google users. If you’ve received a gift or a promo code, you can redeem it in a matter of seconds, with no credit card required. Plus, you can do it on both your phone and computer.
