The thing that they dont like is that we give out bitcoins as prizes, so they tagged it as gambling, but there is no way for the player to put down money, which makes it kind of weird to be gambling :S

We are kind of bummed out about this, hoping amazon & iOS don't see it the same way

If anyone is interested, here is a link to try it out!

They are legal, the thing that they dont like is that we give out bitcoins as prizes, so they tagged it as gambling, but there is no way for the player to put down money, which makes it kind of weird :S

Nice. Im interested in this, since I have a few games that are free, and give out prizes in bitcoins, and are getting suspended from google play

When this is working, I would love to be able to upload my games here

Is anyone here an app developer, and has a faucet-like game or app in Google Play?

We are a game developer studio, and partnered with Xapo to create a few games that give out BTC rewards. To our surprise, as soon at is was live, Google suspended the game, saying it was against it's policies, which is weird, since there are a ton of games that give out money or free items in exchange of playing.
I think this was because of the BTC.

Anyone has a similar issue?

Now we are left to trying to upload to a different store (Amazon, App Store), and our own website , but the organic growth will not be the same
