Google Play Store pulls down Paytm app due to violation of sport betting policies
By MYBRANDBOOK
Google has called off Paytm app from the Play Store for violating its gambling policies. Its marquee app, which competes with Google Pay in India, disappeared from the Play Store in the country.
Google said that Play Store prohibits online casinos and other unregulated gambling apps that facilitate sports betting in India. Paytm, which promotes fantasy sports service within its marquee app, repeatedly violated Play Store’s policies. Paytm’s fantasy sports service, called Paytm First Games, was also available as a standalone app and it has been pulled, too, from the Play Store.
The Android-maker, which maintains similar guidelines around gambling in most other markets, additionally noted that if an app leads consumers to an external website that allows them to participate in paid tournaments to win real money or cash prizes will also be deemed in violation of its Play Store policies.
In an email Google has sent to many firms in India, the company has asked developers to pause all advertising campaigns in their apps to drive users to websites that offer installation files of sports betting apps.
