Paytm taken down from Google Play store

Just a few weeks ago, Apple and Google took down Epic Games’ Fortnite gaming app for violation of App Store policies and circumventing commission payment.

Now, the search engine giant has removed Paytm. DH reached out to Google India for an official response on the ban imposed on Paytm.

The company spokesperson said, it has no specific statement to Paytm’s removal, but Google has released a press note on user privacy, which indicates the latest sanction on Paytm maybe it is because the latter is hosting gambling games and encouraging betting on sports.

“We have the same goals for our gambling policy. We don’t allow online casinos or support any unregulated gambling apps that facilitate sports betting.
