How to buy and redeem Riot Access gift cards

What a Riot Access gift card actually does

If you play Valorant, League of Legends, Legends of Runeterra, or Teamfight Tactics, you already know Riot Games runs its own currency ecosystem. A Riot Access gift card is a prepaid code that drops Riot Points, often called RP, directly into your account. You spend those points on skins, agents, champions, battle passes, and whatever else the in-game store is pushing that week.

The appeal is simple. No credit card attached to your gaming account. No bank statement that says "Riot Games" next to a purchase your family might question. You prepay a fixed amount, redeem the code, and the balance sits there until you decide to use it.

We sell these cards on our store in several regional denominations. Prices vary by currency. I want to walk you through what is available and how the whole process works from purchase to redemption.

Which denominations we carry

Our store currently lists Riot Access and Riot Cash cards across three currencies. Each one is priced in the local denomination, but you pay in USD at checkout. Here is what you will find.

• AED cards: A 40 AED Riot Cash card runs about 11 USD, and a 190 AED Riot Cash card is about 51 USD.
• BHD cards: A 4.2 BHD card costs about 11 USD, a 9.9 BHD card is about 26 USD, and a 19.7 BHD card sits at about 52 USD.
• BRL cards: A 16 BRL Riot Cash card is about 3 USD, a 32 BRL card is about 6 USD, and a 50 BRL card is about 10 USD.

The Brazilian Real cards are the cheapest entry point if you just want to top up a small amount. The BHD and AED cards cover a wider range, from a modest 11 USD spend up to roughly 52 USD for players who want to grab a full battle pass bundle plus a skin or two.

Does the card currency matter

This is where people get tripped up. Riot Access cards are region-locked, meaning a card purchased in one currency region will only redeem on accounts registered to that same region. If your Riot account is set to Brazil, you need a BRL card. If your account is in the Middle East, you will want an AED or BHD card depending on your specific country setting.

Before you buy, check your Riot account region. You can find this by logging into your account on the Riot website and looking at your account settings. Buying the wrong region card is the most common mistake I see. It is frustrating because there is no simple fix after the fact.

How to buy a Riot Access card from us

1. Pick the denomination and currency that matches your Riot account region from our store listing.
2. Add the card to your cart and proceed to checkout.
3. Pay in USD using whatever payment method you prefer at our checkout.
4. Check your email for a message from us containing your digital code and redemption instructions.
5. Copy the code exactly as it appears, including any dashes or capital letters.

Codes are delivered electronically. There is no physical card shipped to your address. If you do not see the email within a few minutes, check your spam folder. If it is still not there, contact support at support@blinkcodes.com and include your order number.

How to redeem your code

1. Open the Riot client or go to the official Riot Games redemption page in your browser.
2. Log into the Riot account where you want the points applied.
3. Navigate to the prepaid card or code redemption section, which is usually found under payment methods or store settings.
4. Paste or type your code into the redemption field exactly as you received it.
5. Confirm the redemption and wait for the success message to appear.
6. Launch your game and check your RP or Riot Cash balance to verify the funds landed.

The balance should appear instantly in most cases. If the client shows a delay, restarting the game usually forces a refresh and the points will show up.

What you can spend the balance on

Once the Riot Points hit your account, they are yours to spend across Riot titles tied to that account. In Valorant, you can buy VP which converts from your RP balance and then purchase weapon skins, agent contracts, or the current battle pass. In League of Legends, RP goes toward champions, skins, emotes, and chromas. Teamfight Tactics uses the same RP pool for arena skins, booms, and little legend eggs.

The points do not expire. You can sit on them and wait for a sale or a specific skin release. That said, once you redeem a code to your account, it cannot be reversed or transferred to another account. Make sure you are logged into the right profile before hitting confirm.

A quick note on regional pricing

Some players buy cards from a cheaper region hoping to get more RP per dollar. Riot has tightened its region-locking over the years, and attempting to redeem a card outside your account region will simply fail. The prices you see on our store reflect the denominations available in each currency, not a conversion trick. Buy the card that matches your account and you will not run into problems.

If you are unsure which card to choose, the safest move is to match the currency to the country where you created your Riot account. That single step prevents nearly every redemption issue we hear about.
