What constitutes a gambling app
<p>I am developing a game that has users playing live quizzes against each other for cash prizes. You can book to play a live quiz for a small fee. You have a chance of winning a cash prize if you perform well on the quiz.</p>

<p>The quizzes include general knowledge questions with widely accepted and proveable answers. So the questions do not involve luck.</p>

<p>But my app is getting rejected from the Play Store on claims that it violates the <a href="https://play.google.com/about/restricted-content/gambling/gambling-apps/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Gambling policy</a>. <strong>How does the gambling policy apply to a quiz app?</strong></p>

<p>The gambling policy to which the question links says that "gambling" under that policy includes:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>games of skill that offer prizes of cash or other value. </p>
</blockquote>

<p>From the description in the question, this exactly fits the app in question, so it ought to be rejected under the policy unless it comp[lies with the rules for an exception, which the question doesn't say it does.</p>
