Google Play is conducting a pilot programme for the India distribution of real-money games, daily fantasy sports (DFS) and rummy apps by developers incorporated in the country. Real-money game apps are disallowed on Google Play in India yet.

The pilot will run for one year starting September 28, 2022. "We are constantly exploring ways for local developers to build successful businesses and offer delightful experiences on Google Play. Through this pilot programme, we are taking a measured approach that will help us collate learnings and retain an enjoyable and safe experience for our users," said a Google spokesperson.
