Hi everyone,
I’m looking for guidance on the proper procedure and requirements to list a Real Money Gaming (RMG) app—specifically a Rummy app—on the Apple App Store for Indian users.
From my understanding of the App Store Review Guidelines, apps involving real-money gaming must comply with specific rules around licensing, geo-restriction, and payment handling. However, I’d appreciate clarification on the following points:
1. Licensing Requirements:
• What type of license or legal documentation is required for listing an RMG app in India?
• Does Apple require proof of approval from Indian gaming authorities?
2. Geo-restrictions:
• If certain Indian states do not permit real-money Rummy, how should those states be restricted within the app?
• Does Apple mandate geo-fencing at the app level?
3. App Submission Process:
• Are there any additional review steps or submission categories specific to real-money gaming?
• Is it necessary to flag the app under a special category during submission?
4. Payment Handling:
• Since Apple doesn’t allow in-app purchases for gambling, what’s the approved method of integrating external wallets or payment gateways?
If anyone has successfully listed an RMG app from India or has experience navigating this process, your insights would be really helpful. Also, if there are any Apple contacts or official checklists for this category, please share those resources.
Thanks in advance!
