If I have enough money in my Apple ID to purchase in game currency why does it need me to have a card and not let me use my money in my id
iPhone 11, iOS 16
Apple says: "Some purchases might require that you have a credit card on file, even if you use your Apple Account balance to make the purchase." - from: What you can buy with your Apple ID balance --> What you can buy with your Apple Gift Card or Apple Account balance - Apple Support
For a variety of reasons Apple will almost always require a functional payment method such as a credit or debit card be present when downloading anything from the iTunes or App Stores that isn't totally free (so, for example, a "free trial" that turns into a paid subscription isn't ' free'), even if the item will be paid for with Apple Account balance. The only solution to satisfy this requirement is to add a valid payment method*.
