When you first add a debit card to google play, do they freeze a pound, like some companys do to see if transactions can go in and out of the account?

Hey!
How do I buy something with googles $15 credit ?
I go to buy something and it only gives me an option for credit cards.
How do I pay for it with my Google credit that came with the device ?

Do you mean the $25 credit you get when you buy the tablet? If so then:
a) no.. I don't think you have to have a card to use the credit but it will be tied to whatever account you use to log in on the tablet first.
b) you can use this credit while in the play store (from your device) when you select and app an window pops up and you can select your payment method there. You should see an option for "Google Play balance". Select it and voila.
There's no redeem button ;(
I love in the UK and apparently you can't get gift cards in the UK. What doing do if anything?
Thanks !

If you have an Android device already, you will have a Play account and the credit will be added to that. If you don't have a Play account you will need to create one when you set up your device, you need a CC to do that so you can buy apps etc. Once you've set up your Google account the credit will appear on it and you'll be able to buy apps to the value of £15 before anything is charged to your card.
They have been a bit clever with it mind you, cannot carry a balance over, so when you have £2.74 left you can't buy something for £4.99 and pay the difference.
I have the £15 credit and I live in the UK

Im signed in on it and its the first account on there.
When I press buy on a app it shows up only one option which is Google wallet.
Google:
For a limited time, customers who purchase a Nexus 7 may be eligible to receive a $25 Google Play credit. This is our gift to you when you have, or add, a valid form of payment to your Google Wallet account.
Guess Il have to add a card.
The free $25/£15 Google Play credit is automatically added to your Google account once you sign in for the first time when you set the device up, regardless of whether or not you had a card on the account before.
Oh... I wonder why my credit isnt showing up. There is no other option but to pay for an app with Google wallet.

Have you set up Google Wallet on the website: ?

Make sure you register a card and what not, like paypal, then see if you can find the app on the play store if it isn't in your main apps list.
I found it on the play store, and there was an enable button instead of an install button.
EDIT: I should point out the app doesn't work.
Thought Google wallet wasnt for UK

Didn't the enable it at the same time they enabled Google Music? Or is it specifically tap to pay you're referring to? Play store purchases are linked to your wallet account afaik
Pretty sure it hasn't.
There are/were ways of tricking it into working though.
Suppose Person A and Person B own a Nexus 7 and have logged into their user accounts. Both A & B own two different Android Phones. Now, A purchases an app on either of his devices. Would B be able to use the paid app? On which device(s)?
is that a trick question?
whatever A buys, B can't legally use, B has to buy it him/herself.

Unless they add each of their accounts in the Play store. I do this on the various tabs in my house. I log in through the Play store and download my apps... then just remove the account or setup a pin.

All apps are bound to the GOOGLE account, so whatever account you buy something on, whether it be on a phone, tablet, on the play Web page, the app will be shown to whatever user/device that account is attached 2, if person b has their own account then they won't see it.
Multi user is designed to make each user feel like it's their tablet, not a shared one. It's like me asking if I can use an app that you have paid for.

You can set up play store to have a pin whenever you try to make a purchase (it is somewhere in play store settings). Some here have said that it is quite easy for kids to get around but I am sure there are ways and means to stop them.
Edit I just found this for some added security

If they learn how to clear the Play Store cache in Settings - Apps, that'll remove the PIN and they'll be able to do what ever they want. I had to do this on my gf's son's as she forgot the PIN to his account, and he couldn't download what he wanted to with his Play Store credit.

My brother and I both have Nexus 7's. When we buy pc games one of us buys it and we both install it on our laptops (I'm 16 so I still live at home with family including my brother). Is there some way for my brother to play games on his nexus that I bought on mine (without having him sign into my Google account)? I know some file explorers (like androzip) have a "backup" option which packs the app back into an apk but it fails when I try it on paid apps (obviously drm).
Thanks

The best way is to share the same google account, if not it is indirectly a way of piracy, based on my point of view my friend.

The only problem with sharing one account is you cannot play games very well, because say your halfway through level 5 on mc4, if your bro wants to play you would have to start a new game and loses your progress. Really stupid and fustrating as tablets are not really individual minded I don't think. I did read somewhere that you can share apps, but you have to be rooted for it to work.
Shared through a common Google account is the only legitimate way.
Could be a new Google account, used only for buying apps.
