I bought a “everything Apple” gift card thinking I could use it for in game purchases but it turns out I can’t.
Is there any way to convert that money into App Store credit ? So that I can do in game purchases
Yes, it is possible.

When redeeming a gift card, the amount will be credited to your Apple Account balance (= your Store Credit).
If you have enough money in your Apple Account balance, all you have to do is -> you need to set your Apple Account balance as your default payment.

- You can't use your Apple Account balance to send gifts or gift cards.
- If you use Family Sharing, your family members can't spend your Apple Account balance. Funds that you add to your Apple Account balance are only available to you. Find out more about how purchases are billed to your Apple Account balance.
- Some purchases might require you to have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase.
