Google pauses plans to allow more real-money gaming apps on PlayStore

Tech giant Google on Friday announced its decision to pause its experiment aimed at expanding the number of real-money gaming (RMG) apps on its Play Store in countries without a central licensing framework.

In January this year, Google said it would allow more RMG apps, including those not covered under a licensing framework, on its Play Store in India, Mexico, and Brazil. It said that it would also charge a service fee from these apps.
