Google's Proposal to Open India's App Market for Real Money Games
INDIA, JUL 30 – Google aims to resolve an antitrust case by allowing all self-declared lawful skill-based real-money games on its Play Store with third-party certification, covering 86% of India’s gaming revenue.
- On Wednesday, the Competition Commission of India issued a public notice inviting comments on Google India’s commitment proposal to expand access to real-money gaming apps on Play Store and Ads.
- Shortly after the pilot launched, WinZO alleged discrimination, prompting the CCI to order a formal probe into Google’s real-money gaming policies in November.
- Under the proposal, Google must submit proof from an authoritative third-party body that games are skill-based, with changes expected within 120 days for Play Store and 150 days for ads after approval.
- Google stands to earn a revenue share from a broader pool of real-money gaming apps and ads on Play Store if the proposal is accepted, potentially boosting its earnings and developer reach.
- The case is expected to be listed for hearing next month, with feedback due by August 20, 2025, and real-money gaming’s share projected to fall to 80% by 2029.
