Outline

We’ve heard questions from developers about implementing loyalty programs and, as a response, we’ve provided specific guidance for gamified loyalty programs in our recently announced Play Store policy update. Based on inputs we’ve received from our partners and developers around the world, we have updated our guidance on implementing policy compliant transaction-based gamified loyalty programs that reward users with real-world prizes or a monetary equivalent.

Our policies now provide direct baseline requirements for a policy compliant gamified loyalty program implementation in an app. So, whether a developer wishes to use a spin-the-wheel experience, a guessing game in their app, or a straight 1:1 earning and redemption program to drive loyalty, the policy provides guidance on how best to comply with the policy.
