Google said on Friday that it will enable additional kinds of games in the category that go by local rules in order to encourage more real-money games on the Play Store this year.
According to the search giant, the extended support for the real-money gambling program will launch in June in Mexico, Brazil, and India, with plans to expand to more nations in the future.
Additionally, Google is thinking of introducing a new in-app purchase and subscription service cost structure. The business, however, withheld a lot of information on the percentage it will collect from developers.
“With this policy update, we will also be evolving our service fee model for RMG to reflect the value Google Play provides and to help sustain the Android and Play ecosystems. We are working closely with developers to ensure our new approach reflects the unique economics and various developer earning models of this industry,” Director, Global Trust & Safety Partnerships at Google, Karan Gambhir said in a blog post.
Google has generally approved real-money gaming applications for a certain kind that are subject to regional regulations. The company will let additional real-money gaming apps—which are legal but unregulated—as a result of the policy shift.
