I cant purchase in app items with my apple gift card

When i tried to buy something with my ipad air in a game called brawl stars with my balance from my apple gift card, it says invalid address and it tells me to type my apple id password. When i do that, it takes me to the app store and says its suddenly going to pay with a credit card and tells up to update my info. I don’t know what’s wrong

If you don't have a credit card or don't want to use a credit card, you can also use your Apple ID balance as payment method.

When redeeming a gift card, the amount will be credited to your (1) Apple ID balance and (2) you need to set your Apple ID balance as your default payment.
