Google has double standards: Paytm

Fintech unicorn Paytm kept up its criticism of Google, accusing it on Wednesday of double standards over its policies around fantasy games on the Play Store.

In a blog post announcing the return of Paytm First Games on the Play Store, Paytm said the US tech company does not allow its real money app to be promoted on Google Play, but this can be promoted via YouTube “by paying hefty fees to Google”.

Paytm First Games is back in the store, but the version for downloading is a free app and does not allow real money fantasy gaming, the company said.
