Hello, My app was rejected because of App Review Guideline 4.3 – Design Spam.

I developed Dynasty of Sic Bo, an exciting game that combines elements of roulette and dice rolling. Players can bet on different dice combinations, testing their luck and strategy to win virtual riches. The game is designed to be simple and enjoyable for beginners while still engaging for experienced players.

I’ve tried multiple times to understand the exact reasons for this rejection, but all my efforts have been ignored by App Review. None of the changes I implemented resolved the issue, and I still don’t know what specifically needs to be addressed.

The app’s concept, gameplay, and design are entirely original, and I haven’t copied or reused content from other apps. While the game shares a general theme of dice-based gambling, I worked hard to create a unique experience with polished visuals, engaging mechanics, and a dynamic atmosphere.

I don’t understand how to proceed or demonstrate the originality of my app, as I can’t identify any apps that are identical to mine. I would really appreciate any advice or insights on how to resolve this issue.

Kind regards, Nick Bohdan Malashina

Did you add some comment for reviewer in the app submission, explaining what you say here:

you know there are other dice rolling games,
but this one is original
and make extensive use of iOS capabilities to create a unique user experience with polished visuals, engaging mechanics, and a dynamic atmosphere.
adding a short video to illustrate may help.

Note however that rejection may just be due because this category of app is already overcrowded. In that case, hard to do anything, nevertheless, try to add those comments for a new submission.

Good luck.

Thank you for your post. There are several factors that may contribute to an app not following App Review Guideline 4.3. Typically, these apps share a similar binary, metadata, and overall concept as apps already on the App Store, with only minor differences.
