The change applies to US online casino apps, online lotteries, and sportsbook apps. Google has previously made the decision to allow gambling apps in certain other countries, such as the United Kingdom.

DraftKings confirmed the change to Online Poker Report in a statement:

The news was first reported by Reuters.

A boon to online gambling operators

Music

It’s a major change that should help online gambling operators across the spectrum in the US. At the moment, Android users can only obtain online casino, sportsbook, and poker apps via direct download from the operator’s website. This also requires changing the security settings on the device, which can seem scary to some users.

That less-than-streamlined process likely means gambling operators don’t fully realize their addressable audience of Android users. Getting their apps onto the Play store will change that situation for the better.

Gambling apps are already available on the App Store for Apple devices in the US.
