not sure but many states do, so you can't offer it there legally. so you can check your developer agreement but you have to look at it from that other angle as well.
This is always confusing as heck. The developer (me) is in Japan. The server that iPhones connect to to play the game may be in the USA, or maybe at some offshore hosting service. The players could be anywhere in the world. The payout system might be PayPal. Maybe I should give up already? (By the way. I just followed u on twitter).
if I were you, I would stay completely clear of gambling games. huge legal issues, huge fraud problems, very complex server and security technology and you are messing with an industrie that per say is not known for being very... friendly. To say the least
Thx for following on twitter, hope you find it useful.
Completely illegal in the US. Even if you are from Japan, you can be arrested if you ever come to US soil. A couple years ago the business man from the UK that ran a legal gambling site was arrested while changing planes in the US. Flying to Costa Rica from the UK and changes planes in Dallas. Was arrested and still waiting trial.
I thought about it as well, but way too many hoops to jump through plus Apple would probably forbid it.
It depends on which country you live in. If you are based in the United Kingdom you have can use Paddy Power, Betfair, Blue Sq or Ladbrokes native iPhone betting apps. If you live in Austia you can download the Bwin betting app from the App Store.
The Betfair app is the most widely approved app by Apple and is available in app stores in the following countries. United Kingdom, Spain, Ireland, Greece, Norway, Germany, Portugal, Finland, Australia and New Zealand. Tab Sport is also Apple approved in Australia. iPhone Betting carry a full list of all web and native iPhone gambling apps.
In the United States no real money betting app has been approved yet, however, web apps are improving all the time and now work almost as good as native apps. Actually one app has been approved in the state of Nevada called Leroy's Sportsbook, but it can only be used in that state.
You can't use PayPal for anything related to gambling - it's against their policy.
There isn't a ban on gambling apps in the app store. However, as has been mentioned already, you can only offer a gambling app in countries/territories where it is legal.
Here's a real-money poker app that has been approved in the UK:
