How to use Vanilla prepaid Mastercard?

I’m having issues using a prepaid vanilla Mastercard I received as a gift. The packaging says it’s for online gaming. I’ve added the card to my Apple ID payment method but when I try to buy something on Roblox it’s declined!? The card is activated.


what can I do to fix this??

Apple mostly accepts debit cards issued by a bank, not debit cards someone bought in a store.


A workaround might be to use the debit card to buy Apple gift cards and redeem those on your account as your payment method.
