I am building a game application where 2 type of games can be played by user. One type of game can be played using coins and another type of game can be played using real money. This application has in app purchases to get coins which can be utilised while playing games with coins. However, in other case, user has to pay through third party payment gateway to play other kind of game. In my game there is no gambling involved. User needs to play the game and who ever scores highest, will get money. So, there is no luck involved for user while playing game. I have seen other games like PokerStars which has both in app purchases and real money. Is there any chance for apple to reject my game? If so, what needs to be done so that my app go through apple review process properly?

Did you see the rules for Appstore ? h ttps://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#gaming-gambling-and-lotteries
5.3 Gaming, Gambling, and Lotteries
Gambling, gaming, and lotteries can be tricky to manage and tend to be one of the most regulated offerings on the App Store. Only include this functionality if you’ve fully vetted your legal obligations everywhere you make your app available and are prepared for extra time during the review process. Some things to keep in mind:
5.3.1 Sweepstakes and contests must be sponsored by the developer of the app.
5.3.2 Official rules for sweepstakes, contests, and raffles must be presented in the app and make clear that Apple is not a sponsor or involved in the activity in any manner.
5.3.3 Apps may not use in-app purchase to purchase credit or currency for use in conjunction with real money gaming of any kind, and may not enable people to purchase lottery or raffle tickets or initiate fund transfers in the app.
5.3.4 Apps that offer real money gaming (e.g. sports betting, poker, casino games, horse racing) or lotteries 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. Illegal gambling aids, including card counters, are not permitted on the App Store. Lottery apps must have consideration, chance, and a prize.
