Real money game apps to stay on Google Play Store, AIGF terms it arbitrariness of the company

Google on Friday extended the grace period for existing online real money gaming on the Play Store indefinitely, after which small gaming companies and startups accused the internet giant of engaging in arbitrary and anti-competitive behavior. The grace period for digital fantasy sports (DFS) and rummy apps will continue until the next update of the Playstore policy.

Real money game apps to stay on Google Play Store, AIGF terms it arbitrariness of the company

Google has taken a significant call regarding existing online real money gaming, which was primarily hitting Indian startups. Now, giving them another cause for concern, Google indefinitely extended this grace period for existing real-money gaming apps on its Play Store.

This decision has come very long after the ending of the pilot program of the DFS and rummy apps, which was due in September 2023. Let's know about it.

Describing the problem of developing a framework for real-money games, Google said part of it lay in countries like India missing the presence of a center that could run a licensing system. "We need more time to ensure the safety of our users and provide a fair playing field for developers," said a Google spokesperson.
