Gifting games on a child account.

If the gift card was going to be used for games, you could "gift" whatever game to your child's account.

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for coming to the forums. You can basically gift a game that your child wants. For example, he wants a certain game, instead of purchasing it directly on their account. You can purchase it as a gift on your account and it gets sent to your child account.
Here is a guide for

Hi friend,

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with gifting this DLC. Does your nephew use a child account for Xbox Live? Sometimes gifting to child accounts can cause issues. Here's a support article for issues with gifting codes.

I hope this helps with your issue.

but what if a gift card is on a child account?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

If I may ask, what is the exact issue that you’re experiencing whenever you’re trying to gift your friend the game?

Also, it does not require to have an Xbox Live Gold to receive a gifted game. Just make sure that you’re both on the same region.
