How does Apple allow gambling apps like these?


https://apps.apple.com/us/app/solitaire-clash-win-real-cash/id1589643727

This game is #1 on the US Casino charts. The description claims "Cashing out your Solitare winnings is easy, safe and secured by PayPal. We also partner with Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express to make the deposit and withdrawal process secure and easier." If this is in fact true, how on earth do they achieve withdrawing real money winnings while adhering to US law? Stranger, the developer seems to be incorporated in the US and raised $40M in funding. https://www.pocket7games.com

It's either magic or Apple is turning an astronomical blind eye to high grossing apps.

According to their website, it seems like they use a system where you can win "tickets" that can be cashed out later. Sounds a lot like casino chips? I'd love to have an attorney or someone knowledgeable about the industry explain how this works. Seems like very shaky legal ground.

Also, all the reviews with a “developer response” are blatantly fake.
