    Will I get banned for my friend redeeming a gift card in another country when I live in a...


    Hello, my friend is currently exploring countries in Europe, he recently went to Turkey. He saw some gift cards in a store so he decided to buy me a couple of them since he was going to miss out on my birthday due to him being in Europe.

    So I tried to redeem them and they were region locked, so I let him log into my account so he can redeem the codes since he was still in Turkey at the time. So I was wondering if they goes anything against the TOS because technically I'm not using a vpn to redeem these codes so I don't know if this is a banned able offence.

    :)

    Will I get banned for my friend redeeming a gift card in another country when I live in a different country

    Hey there!

    Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, an Independent Advisor. I am here to help.

    I would like to let you know that bypassing geographical restrictions to get content that’s not available in your country, can lead to a Microsoft account suspension. This is against Microsoft's terms & conditions.

    To answer your inquiry, attempting to circumvent restrictions is bannable through the Xbox code of conduct and can affect both customer privacy and the integrity of Microsoft or partner services. For the safety of all, it’s important to respect deliberate limitations:

    Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day!

    Letting someone else access your account is also against the ToU & can result in enforcement action.

    Gifting Gift cards.

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Greatnate30447, unfortunately the message is correct, Gift cards can only be redeemed in their respective countries.

    In addition, they can redeem a Gift card from another country, this gift card would have to be from that specific country.

    Gift DLC to friend in another country

    No. You and your friend are in two different regions, so gifts cannot be redeemed from another country. You could purchase an American gift card with the required funds to purchase the add-ons, and give your friend the gift card, so he/she can purchase the add-ons themselves.

    Xbox live on xbox 360

    To redeem digital cards you have to be located in a supported xbox live country. Since Bulgaria is not supported for xbox live, it can't even connect to the xbox live service to attempt to redeem that prepaid card. And if that card was purchased in another
    country, even if it did work by some miracle, it would not be usable if it was currency or a digital game.

    Sorry friend, but it will not work.

    You must be in one of these countries to redeem digital codes: https://www.xbox.com/live/countries
