I have a 50$ Google Play Balance (aswell as an unused 20$ GC that is locked needing "more info to redeem card") and was wondering if there was anyway to convert that balance into BTC or any form of cash or balance anywhere else. I have looked for hours and my best approach is probably some In app purchase APP that for some reason would help me convert the balance. I originally bought GCs but got an error saying it couldn't be redeemed without more info a common error at Google Play that never gets fixed. I was going to trade these GCs for BTC after weeks for emailing they finally put them in my balance after threatening absurdities....if anyone could help me I would be greatly appreciated and would love to give some sort of money to you for helping if we can get this balance to something I can actually use besides game apps...or books. Or maybe someone would trade my whole account password and everything for an exchange of BTC if they have use for it? All options are welcome...there was a way in 2017 that you could In app Purchase credits on Bitit then exchange credits for BTC. The exchange rate was like 50% but that doesnt matter this balance is useless currency unless its exchanged somehow.

Google PLAY right? Not Google PAY?

If I'm not mistaken (but I'm sure of this), Google Play balance can't be withdrawn into cold cash. It's mostly used for purchasing in-app items listed on Playstore. Selling the account will not work too because why people should buy an account with just a $50 balance if they can just easily top-up their own account with that amount. The same goes if you consider finding an online game wherein you will purchase some valuable items there and trade it to other players, since again, they can just top up their account with $50.

I suggest just used that $50 someday once you found a useful app that you want to try and want to purchase some in-app items. Since it's just $50 (no offense for those who consider $50 as decent amount), too much hassle and effort finding a way to cashout that amount into cash. You can earn it somewhere instead.

But wait for other replies. Who knows there is someone who might know a convenient way (I really doubt).

I doubt it.

There are folks on paxful that will take google play gift cards at an atrocious rate for BTC, but even then, I doubt that they'll be able to process yours because of the fact that it's not redeemable straight away.

As to the balance, you basically have no chance. You can't transfer google play balances nor can you buy subscriptions for others without having to log into their google play store with your account.
