Paytm is back on the Play Store hours after the app was taken down for violating policies on gambling.
Paytm Cricket League was found in violation of the Play Store policies on gambling.
Paytm said they have launched the ‘Paytm Cricket League’ on their consumer app for 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. They have received communication from Google that they are suspending our app because they believe this to be a violation of their Play Store policies on gambling. The Paytm Android app has thus been unlisted from Google’s Play Store and is temporarily unavailable to users for new downloads or updates.
Paytm continue to work with Google to restore the app. They assure all their users that their balances and linked accounts are 100 per cent safe.Their services are fully functional on all existing apps and you can continue enjoying Paytm like before.
Paytm said it removed the cashback component to adhere with the Google policy.
