I would imagine it would get rejected rather quickly. Especially since Apple is coming out with iMoney.

Moderately sure they systematically deny anything that allows users to move coins in or out. tl;dr they don't allow 3rd party payment systems.

I installed the blockchain app from the app store.

and technically, you can gamble with it, provided you are sending your coins to a service such as satoshi dice.

Would be better off making it in HTML5.

First off, sorry if this is the incorrect section. Wasn't sure where this would be best suited.

Do you all think Apple would approve a bitcoin gambling app submitted to their app store? Not sure if it is worth making one if there is a high chance it will get rejected.

They have accepted gambling apps before, limited to GB though:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/betfair-casino/id505191581?mt=8

Would appreciate any insight, can't seem to find much information.

Thanks!

Sounds to me like a very gray area. If they do accept it, it would have to be on some kind of limited nation pool where gambling sites are not illegal...

Would appreciate any insight, can't seem to find much information. The fact that it doesn't use fiat makes me think it might slip through but not sure.

Thanks!
