Hi everybody.

I want to know how is the chance to get approval for a Fantasy Sports App with real money prices? It has even some betting elements but which can be turned off.

We, the developers are from Chile but our partners on this project own a licence from Curacao which allows us in general to offer sports gaming and betting.

Additional Info:

Our main target market is latinamerica.

We work on our platforms with an international payment operator for purchase of credits and withdrawal of winnings. How could that be solved in app store?

Could anybody provide a contact to Apple where to speak and learn more about that?

Thank you for your help.

Best

There are no pre-reviews and App Review isn't here.

Your references are the https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/ - see Section 5 Legal Gaming, Gambling, and Lotteries

From the guidelines: "....must have necessary licensing and permissions in the locations where the App is used, must be geo-restricted to those locations, and must be free on the App Store."

From you: "....own a licence from Curacao which allows us in general to offer sports gaming and betting."

From Apple's perspective the issue is "where the App is used" not "from Curacao which allows us in general to offer". You will need to convince App Review that you have geo-fenced the app so it can only be used in those countries where your Curacao license is recognized as sufficient for such use.
