Dutch gift cards: a short shelf, almost all PC

The Netherlands is one of our smaller regions and there's no point pretending otherwise. What it has is genuinely useful. What it's missing is an entire category.

What's on it

Epic in €10, €25, €50, €75, €100 and €150. Blizzard at €20, €25.98, €50 and €100. Roblox from €10 to €200. Minecraft at €9.99 and €19.99. Google Play €5 to €100. Then Adidas, Pink Gellac and Tinder.

That's a PC player's shelf and not much else. The Dutch gaming shelf is the short version.

What it hasn't got

No PlayStation, no Xbox, no Nintendo.

If you have a Dutch console account and need wallet balance, we can't help today, and selling you a card for another country instead would be worse than useless. PlayStation by region and Xbox by region show where those cards do exist.

PC accounts have countries too

It's easy to assume region locking is a console problem. It isn't. An Epic account has a country, a Blizzard account has a region, a Google account has a billing country, and each one decides which cards will redeem.

The difference is that PC platforms usually tell you where to look. Epic shows the country in account settings; Blizzard shows the region at the top of the shop. Check once, write it down, and you never have to think about it again.

Where that leaves you

If your Epic, Blizzard or Google account is Dutch, this is exactly the right region. Buy the euro card, redeem it on the Dutch store, done.

If your console account is Dutch, keep an eye on the Netherlands page, because the catalogue changes as stock does. You're also welcome to ask us on contact whether something is coming back, and we'll tell you honestly.

And if you aren't sure the account is Dutch at all, what is an account region is the three-minute read that saves a wrong purchase.
