Play Store to expand availability of real-money games, thanks to Google
Google announced today that the company plans to support more real-money games (RMG) on the Play Store this year by allowing more types of games in the category following local laws.
Google started working on including real money gaming apps on the Play Store in 2021.
Last year, it started a pilot in India to allow fantasy sports and Rummy apps on the local Play Store.
In 2020, Google pulled Paytm’s app from the Play Store because the app included newly introduced fantasy sports elements.
After that developers will be able to publish their real-money gaming apps on the Play Store beyond fantasy sports categories.
