CCI closes WinZO antitrust case against Google after online gaming ban

The regulator cited the subsequent statutory ban on online money games in view of which it decided to close the matter. The CCI recalled its November 2024 order directing a probe into allegations that Google discriminated between different categories of real-money gaming apps on the Play Store and Google Ads. However, the CCI clarified that the closure does not amount to any finding on the merits of the alleged anti-competitive conduct.
