Hi! Is is considered gambling according to the Google Play policy if an app offers the user a chance to win an award for answering a question? It costs him nothing. I am thinking of an app that would in essence provide such a service to multiple companies so that the infrastructure for such a quiz and offers of the award would be streamlined. It would use GCM. Would that be in the grey area or against the policy? The user doesn't pay anything, he answers a question if he wants to or not if he doesn't and gets a chance to win an award if he does. He also has control over the type of questions and notifications.
According to policy I understand it might be against the rules, I'm asking as it doesn't make much sense to me why would it be as it doesn't annoy the user and doesn't collect any money from him. The policy excerpt: Gambling: We don’t allow content or services that facilitate online gambling, including but not limited to, online casinos, sports betting and lotteries, or games of skill that offer prizes of cash or other value.
