App Store Increases the Age Limit for Simulated Gambling

Apple has sent email to the developers and advised two changes to the age system in the App Store. The main change is related to apps with “Simulated Gambling.” Simulated gambling apps are now rated 17+ in all countries, while in the Republic of Korea, the apps with mature content will be available only to those who aged 19 or over.
Cited as an attempt to “ensure our global age rating system continues to help make the App Store safe for kids,” Apple’s email states apps featuring “Frequent/Intense Simulated Gambling” will be rated 17+ in all countries and regions starting August 20, 2019.” The change affects many different apps that offer a gambling experience without real-money wagers, such as poker games and slot machine apps that use a virtual currency.
Apple claims it has “worked with the government of the Republic of Korea” to make more App Store apps available in the market, “in an effort to open up additional opportunities for developers.” Under the change, a selection of apps meeting one of a list of criteria can offer their apps within the App Store to users aged 19 or over.
