Yes, the Glede gift card cannot be used for money transfers, financial transactions (such as transfers to your own bank account or to Revolut) or gambling.

You can therefore not withdraw cash with the Glede gift card. This is due to tax rules, as you can receive gift cards tax-free up to certain amounts if the gift card cannot be exchanged for cash.

How do we know if it is a financial transaction?
