CCI ends Google gaming antitrust investigation after India bans online money games
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
India's CCI closed its investigation into Google's real-money gaming policies after legislation prohibited online money games, reported by iGaming Today. The regulator concluded that the legal changes prevented it from granting the remedy sought by WinZO, which had challenged Google's exclusion of some real-money gaming products from its Play Store pilot.
Why it matters
The closure ends scrutiny of Google's app distribution policies in this case because India's prohibition prevents CCI from granting WinZO's requested remedy.
