Gambling geo-restricted limitation

  • I would like to know if what is meant by " geo-restricted to those locations" for gambling app. from guideline 5.3.4. Is it sufficient for the app to only be placed in that countries appstore or do I have to make sure the app from the location of the user or ip cannot run the app?
  • 5.3.4 Apps that offer real money gaming (e.g. sports betting, poker, casino games, horse racing) or lotteries must have necessary licensing and permissions in the locations where the App is used, must be geo-restricted to those locations, and must be free on the App Store. Illegal gambling aids, including card counters, are not permitted on the App Store. Lottery apps must have consideration, chance, and a prize.

They mean they don't want people using gambling apps in places where it's illegal, no matter which App Store they bought it from.

>do I have to make sure the app from the location of the user or ip cannot run the app?


Yes
