Google proposes to open Play Store to more real-money games in India


Google has proposed sweeping changes to its Play Store and advertising policies in India, aiming to allow more real-money gaming apps onto its platforms.

On Wednesday, India’s competition watchdog issued a public notice(PDF) inviting comments on a “commitment proposal” from Google, offering to expand access to its Play Store and advertising policy for more real-money gaming apps in the South Asian market. Notably, the proposal, if it is accepted by the CCI after public feedback, would benefit Google, which stands to earn a share of revenue from a broader range of real-money gaming apps and their ads on its platforms. “We look forward to continuing to work with the CCI and the wider RMG ecosystem, and are confident our proposed framework will empower Indian developers, grow the digital economy, and prioritize user safety,” Google’s spokesperson said.
