According to Reuters on November 29, india's competition watchdog agency ordered an investigation into Google's restrictive policies on real-money games on its platform. WinZO, an online game platform that provides real-money games, first came into contact with the Competition Commission of india (CCI) in 2022. WinZO complained that Google's policies were discriminatory. This exacerbates Google's regulatory challenges in india, as the company has faced at least two penalties for abusing its dominant position in the Android operating system market. Previously, Google changed its game application policies but continued to exclude WinZO from the Play Store. CCI pointed out that by offering preferential treatment to selected app categories, Google has effectively created a two-tier market, where some developers gain better access and visibility while others are discriminated against, placing them at a competitive disadvantage. CCI officials expect to complete the investigation into this matter within 60 days.
