Unlike general storefront cards, publisher-specific gift cards only work within that publisher's own games and store — worth understanding exactly what's covered before buying one as a gift.
Riot Games Gift Card: League, Valorant, and TFT
A Riot Games Gift Card funds purchases across all of Riot's live titles — League of Legends, Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, and Legends of Runeterra — through a shared Riot account wallet. If the recipient plays any Riot title, this is the right card since the balance isn't locked to just one game.
Battle.net Gift Card: Blizzard's full catalog
A Battle.net Gift Card covers Blizzard's entire library — World of Warcraft subscriptions and in-game purchases, Overwatch 2, Diablo IV, and Hearthstone, all through the same Battle.net wallet. Similarly broad within its own ecosystem to Riot's card, just covering Blizzard titles instead.
Epic Games Store Gift Card: broader than just Epic's own games
An Epic Games Store Gift Card is different from the other two — rather than covering one publisher's titles, it funds purchases across the entire Epic Games Store marketplace, including third-party games sold through Epic, not just Epic's own Fortnite in-game purchases.
Check which ecosystem the recipient actually plays in
These three don't overlap — a Riot card is useless for someone who only plays Blizzard games, and vice versa. Ask what they actually play before buying, the same way you'd check console platform for a PSN vs Xbox card.
Regional pricing and currency matter for gifting abroad
If you're buying for someone in a different country, confirm the card's currency and regional pricing align with the recipient's account region — publisher wallets like these are typically region-locked at the account level, similar to console gift cards, so a mismatch can leave the balance unredeemable.
Wallet balances on all three generally don't expire once redeemed, which makes them safe to buy ahead of a sale or new content release even if the recipient doesn't plan to spend immediately — a genuine advantage over currencies in some other ecosystems that do carry expiration windows.
Some publisher wallets also support gifting specific in-game items directly to a friend rather than just adding balance to their account — worth checking if that direct-gift option exists for the specific game and item you have in mind before defaulting to a general wallet top-up.
Refund policies for digital purchases made using wallet balance generally follow the same rules as purchases made with a linked card directly — check the specific game's refund window (commonly limited by playtime and time since purchase) before assuming wallet-funded purchases have different rules.
All three wallets show a clear running balance in account settings, worth checking before a purchase to avoid a declined transaction from an insufficient remaining balance.
All three wallets show transaction history in account settings, useful for tracking spend across multiple games under one publisher.
Quick FAQ
Can a Riot Games Gift Card be used for Battle.net games? No. Riot and Battle.net use separate account ecosystems, so each gift card is limited to its respective publisher.
Is an Epic Games Store Gift Card limited to Epic games? No. It can fund eligible purchases across the Epic Games Store marketplace, including third-party games sold there.
What should I check when gifting a publisher card internationally? Confirm the card currency and the recipient's account region before purchasing, because regional restrictions can affect redemption.
The bottom line
Recipient plays League, Valorant, or TFT: Riot Games. Plays WoW, Overwatch, or Diablo: Battle.net. Wants general PC game purchasing power: Epic Games Store. All three are in Gaming Gift Cards' PC Platforms section.
