What Kind of Betting Will be Allowed?
It depends on the country. While some countries will allow online casinos, others may have sports betting or other gambling forms such as the lottery.
Will There Be Restrictions in the US?
As far as the US is concerned, it will depend upon each state, just as online casino gambling depends on restrictions in each state. On the other hand, countries like the UK do not have any.
Will Software Developers Normally Used at Online Casinos be Available in Google Play Store?
Perhaps. The software developers will have to endure a process to have their gambling apps put in Google's Play Store. Of course, they will have to be licensed in the state where the apps are available. The apps allowed under the Google Policy will be different in that they will be available for real money gameplay.
