Will apple allow an odds application?

Hi,

This is a hypothetical question. If one would develop an iPhone/iPad (Universal) odds application, whould apple allow this to the appstore? This application would not let you bet on odds directly, but would collect odds from different odds sites and show them to the user. The user can launch these sites and make their bets there (not using the application).

Any thought on Apple's "feelings" towards that idea?

Best regards, Paul Peelen

+1 A:

The only way to know about Appstore approval policies is to submit an app and observe the outcome.

And even this way is not 100% reliable.

hehe, very true. But I meant if there are any restrictions from apples pollicy. I haven't read it fully, and not everything is clear to me.

Betfair, a gambling site in the UK (they might be global based - I'm not sure) have released a betting application onto the App Store which was approved, where you can bet via their platform, so I don't see why it should be an issue.

Note: The application is available on the UK app store. There might be regional restrictions in the US or other places though which might be worth investigating a little more

Yes, I know about betfair... its in Sweden as well. The application "Betfair client", which I assume you are reffering to is not available in Sweden or in the US. But good to know!
