The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Buying Digital Games & Gift Cards Online the easy way.

Whether you're topping up Free Fire Diamonds before a big match, buying PUBG UC for your squad, loading Valorant Points for a new skin, or gifting a PlayStation card to your favourite gamer, buying digital gaming products online is faster, cheaper, and easier than ever.

But if you're new to it, it's normal to feel cautious. "Will my code actually work? What if I get scammed?" This guide answers all of that and shows you exactly how to buy with complete confidence from the Raptr Wallet and Raptr Store, Pakistan's most trusted gaming store.

What Are Digital Games, Gift Cards & In Game Currency?

Let's cover the basics before diving in.

Digital games are video games you purchase and download, no disc, no waiting for delivery. You get a code or it goes straight to your library on PlayStation, Xbox, Steam, or mobile.

Gaming gift cards work like prepaid vouchers. Buy a card (e.g., Rs. 1,000, Rs. 2,500, or Rs. 5,000 equivalent), and use it to buy games, DLC, or subscriptions on your platform of choice.

In game currency is virtual money inside a specific game, things like:

• 🎮 Free Fire Diamonds for characters, bundles, and gun skins
• 🔫 PUBG UC (Unknown Cash) for outfits, crates, and Royale Passes
• 🕹️ Valorant Points for agents, skins, and Battle Passes
• ⚽ FIFA Points for Ultimate Team packs
• 🎯 Fortnite V-Bucks for cosmetics and Battle Passes
• 🎲 Ludo Star Coins & Gems for the most popular casual game in Pakistan
• 🟣 Robux for Roblox customisation

You spend real money to buy these in game currencies, and use them to unlock items inside the game.

Step by Step: How to Buy a Digital Game or Gift Card

Step 1: Know Your Platform or Game

First, identify exactly what you're buying for:

Popular mobile games in Pakistan:

• Free Fire: needs Diamonds
• PUBG Mobile: needs UC
• Clash of Clans: needs Gems
• Ludo Star: needs Coins/Gems

Popular console/PC platforms:

• PlayStation: PSN Wallet or PlayStation Store Gift Cards
• Xbox: Xbox Gift Cards or Game Pass
• Steam: Steam Wallet Codes
• PC gaming (Riot Games): Valorant Points

Buying the wrong region or the wrong currency is a common beginner mistake, which is why the next step matters.

Step 2: Check Your Account Region ⚠️ Important

Region Lock Warning: Before buying any gift card, always check which region your gaming account is set to (e.g., Pakistan, US, UK, or Global). A US PlayStation gift card will NOT work on a Pakistan account. On Raptr Store, product listings clearly state region compatibility, always read this before purchasing.

For most Pakistani gamers, look for Global, Middle East, or Pakistan region cards to avoid any issues at redemption.

Step 3: Choose the Right Value

For gift cards, consider how much the recipient plays. Casual gamers are happy with a Rs. 500 to 1,000 value top up, while serious players may prefer larger bundles.

For in game currency, always check the in game store to see which bundle size gives you the best value. Larger bundles almost always cost less per unit of currency.

Step 4: Pay Your Way, EasyPaisa, JazzCash & More

Not everyone in Pakistan has a credit card, and you don't need one. The Raptr Wallet and Raptr Store supports local payment methods so you can pay the way you prefer:
