So it does not have anything to do with them being a scam, at least directly. Obviously, I would never recommend anyone to download an APK file from a shady casino and allow them to have many permissions over the ones personal smartphone, one can only speculate what kind of malware they could slip in that package. They could perfectly could search for private Bitcoin keys or wallets in our Android devices if they wanted to.
Makes sense. So many countries restrict gambling to a large extent which is why play store and app store resort to these sort of restrictions in order to make sure that they don't run the government in the wrong way.
We cannot prohibit this collaboration from happening because all decisions are up to Barcelona management, they should screen their potential sponsors
Well said. I think they know about the shady stuff related to 1xbet, but don't really mind it since they are in dire need of funds as you mentioned.
I believe it is mostly about a broad policy of those which are the biggest companies which provide store services to Android and Iphones. There could be alternative stores on the internet or even stores which belong to other companies (like the Sansumg store or the Palm Store) whose terms of service allow for users and developers to interact with applications which involve gambling with real money or real cryptocurrency.
It is about Public relations strategies, it looks bad for a company like Google to facilitate gambling games when there is no restriction to whether the people using the smartphone is either over 18 years old or not. To tackle that, it would require for Google to ask for ID cards to their users before joining that Play store, and we all know that sort of thing would look very bad in an era when we are already being spied on through our phones, for the sake or targeted advertisement.
Perhaps, it is better that this way, otherwise 1bit could pay up Google for a very wide advertisement package and prompt people to download their app directly from their Play Store. It would increase the number of people scammed to new levels never seen before.
