Paytm on Friday evening in a tweet said it's back on Google Play Store, hours after it was pulled down for allegedly violating gambling policies.
Earlier on Friday, in a blog post the company said its recently launched ‘Paytm Cricket League’ was found in violation of the Play Store policies on gambling. The fintech major said ‘Paytm Cricket League’ allows users to engage in their passion of cricket and get cashback. The game allows users to get player stickers after each transaction, collect them and receive Paytm Cashback.
Google, in its own blog post on Friday, said it does not allow apps facilitating sports betting and hence removed the app from Play store.
