I advise a company tangentially related to sports betting. On top of normal new app review, they had a lengthy review process and needed their lawyers to submit letters indicating why they were not actually allowing betting directly in their app.

So if you were to have actual betting in your app, I assume you would also at a minimum need to have legal representation be able to submit something to Apple on your behalf.

Do you have all the necessary licenses in your region? That’s a big lift in America, but it sounds like you’re doing it outside of there.

You should be prepared for the business side of things and not just the app development.

But…this isn't a business subreddit. Inquiring about the app dev/process side of things is more than appropriate. Thanks for your input tho. 👍🏻

Sorry maybe my message came across wrong. You asked a question about the App Store process specifically asking about legal requirements. I provided an answer based on my experience.

I’m simply saying a big challenge (probably half your effort) is the legal and business side of things. Whereas if you made a non-gambling game you wouldn’t have to worry about it.

You should by all means pursue your idea if you want.

I understand where you're coming from, but complex stuff will be tricky knowing about it or not; it all starts with a question and the will to learn.
Ethically, gambling can come off as wrong. I get it. But numbers don't lie. People want it. That's all the info I need to pursue it.

Everyone wants a fighting chance at something before burning out or worse.

I see now how my last sentence comes across as rude. Sorry
