What a Riot Games - League of Legends gift card gets you
A Riot Games gift card loaded against League of Legends funds Riot Points (RP), the in-client currency for champions, skins, chromas, emotes, ward skins, and bundles. Because it credits a Riot account rather than one game, the same balance also spends across other Riot titles tied to that account — Valorant, Teamfight Tactics, Wild Rift, and Legends of Runeterra — through Riot's unified wallet. It does not buy a subscription, and it can't be converted back to cash. There are no activation fees and the code does not expire once redeemed to the account.
one format:
- E-gift card / digital code: Emailed within minutes, redeemed in the Riot client or on the Riot store. $10 – $100 via Dyme; matching denominations via retail.
Multiple Riot codes can be redeemed to one account — each adds to the same wallet balance, which then draws down across League and other Riot titles.

Can I get a Riot Games - League of Legends gift card at a discount?
Yes, but not through Dyme. Dyme sells Riot Games (League of Legends) codes at face value; the value-add is Dyme Miles and instant delivery, not a face-value discount. The discount channels are:
- Retail promos (Walmart, Target, GameStop, Best Buy). Physical Riot Games cards on gift-card racks occasionally go on sale or carry bonus-RP promotions, especially around the holidays. Pricing rotates by retailer and season.
- Secondary marketplaces (Raise, CardCash). Resold Riot codes from third parties, usually a few percent below face value. Confirm the code is unused before redeeming, since secondary sellers occasionally list partially used cards.
- Riot in-client RP bonuses. Riot periodically runs bonus-RP events when you top up directly, and skin or event sales effectively stretch a fixed balance further. These come and go with the game's content calendar.
The bigger combined return comes from the rewards stack below: your credit card and Dyme Miles on the purchase. Buying RP this way also avoids tying a payment card directly to the game account.
How to stack rewards
Riot has no points program, but two rewards layers still fire on a code purchased through Dyme.
Credit-card rewards
Your credit card earns rewards on the Dyme purchase.
Gift-card resellers typically code as MCC 5947; many cards exclude this MCC from category bonuses.
- Capital One Venture X: 2x miles on essentially every purchase, including gift cards
- Citi Double Cash: 2% back on everything (1% when you buy + 1% when you pay)
- Amex Gold: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 4x dining and 4x groceries do not apply
- Chase Sapphire Preferred: falls back to 1x on gift cards. 3x dining and 2x travel do not apply
Dyme Miles
- Base rate: 1 Mile for every dollar
- Special rate: 5 Miles per dollar

How to buy at Costco, Sam's Club, or a supermarket
Physical Riot Games cards sit on gift-card racks at Walmart, Target, GameStop, Best Buy, and many supermarkets and pharmacies, typically in $10 to $100 denominations. They're at face value most of the year, but watch for holiday promos and bonus-RP offers. You earn the retailer's loyalty points and any fuel rewards on the purchase.
Designs and personalization
Digital codes carry the standard League of Legends card art rather than a wide design catalog.
Through Dyme you can add a personal message at checkout. The recipient sees your name and message on the redemption email.
Physical retail cards use League- and Riot-branded packaging that varies by retailer and season.
Delivery and timing
- Digital code via Dyme: 1 to 60 minutes by email.
- Direct top-up in the Riot client: Instant once payment clears.
- Physical card at a retailer: Immediate — walk out with the card.
Dyme does not mail physical cards. If you need a card in hand, a retail rack is the path.
