Hi guys,I tried to get in touch with the App Review Team to have their feedback/answer on the below issue, but they are unreachable unless the app is ready for reviewing while I won't be able to initiate the progress of development before getting an answer on this.Is a pure skill-based game (that does not rely on chances) with real money rewarding classefied as a gambling by Apple? as per the legal section of Apple policy stated below, there is examples of games that considered gambling, which must be licensed & operate in countries where gambling is not prohibited, while the games of skill is not mentioned. It worths to be mentioned, the authority of jurisdiction where the company will be registered did not classify it as a gambling activity, considering the nature of the game that by all meaning does not rely on chances. So no gambling licensee is given to be provided.Hope if someone could help or suggest how the Review Team could be reached.cheers5.3.4“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.Section 5.3.3 relates to the IAP (In-App-Purchase) integration policy for apps offering real money. While section 5.3.4 referring to the classification of apps that offer real money gaming, but was specifically for activities that are categorized under gambling, betting, poker or casino games while my game concept was not classified as a gambling establishment by the authority where it would be registered considering that it will be a skill-based game with money rewarding scheme that doesn’t rely on luck or chance.
