Google has suspended its pilot programme that allowed fantasy sports and rummy games to be listed on its Play Store. The pilot, which began in July last year and was extended to India, Brazil, and Mexico, was halted due to a lack of a "central licensing framework" for such games. Google cited the need for additional time to create its own framework and ensure the safety of users and developer partners. The decision is a setback for the online gaming sector in India and comes amidst ongoing legal battles over the classification of online games as games of skill or games of chance.
