Online Games Gift Cards

Online games gift cards are gift cards that are worth prepaid subscriptions or points (virtual currency) in popular online games and social networking games. Zynga, Playdom and Big Fish are among the online gaming websites that offer prepaid game cards. Some of these games are played on social networking websites like Facebook and MySpace.

Once these gift cards are registered online, the recipient will receive points or virtual currency; for example, Zynga's YoVille gift card, which costs $10.00, can be redeemed for 5,000 YoCoins or 50 YoCash (the currency used in the game).http://www.yovillian.com/2009/12/yoville-gift-cards-2/ Other games, like Playdom's Mobsters and Sorority Life use 'points'.
