Winzo sues Google to stop new gaming policy, calls it discriminatory

Online gaming platform Winzo has sued Google to stop the tech giant from allowing real-money games for fantasy sports and rummy on its platform, saying that Google’s doing so was discriminatory, a legal filing seen by Reuters showed.

Winzo offers paid games in those categories but also in many others, such as carrom, puzzels and car racing, and will therefore not fully benefit from a newly adopted Google policy.

For years, Alphabet Inc unit Google allowed no games involving real money in India, but this month said such games for fantasy sports and rummy could join its Play Store marketplace in India as part of a year-long pilot program.
