From the developer’s post:

Happy New Year everyone! Just three hours into 2025, I received an email from Google Play Support with the following subject line:

Action Required: Your app is not compliant with Google Play Policies (Luck be a Landlord)

Nothing has changed with Luck be a Landlord in the past few months, but for whatever reason, my game “contains gambling” now!

I’ve already gone through this song and dance multiple times with Google Play over the game being banned by them in 13 countries, so while this isn’t exactly new, it’s a lot scarier!

I genuinely think Luck be a Landlord deserves the equivalent of an E10+ rating across all regions, but at this point I’ve just given up and will deal with whatever inaccurate rating is slapped on the game.

I’ve now filled out the Google Play age rating questionnaire to “agree” that my game “contains gambling.” I’m doing this in an attempt to stop my game from being banned globally on Google Play since every time I’ve tried to appeal these decisions I’ve simply been sent a screenshot of my game and was told “this is gambling.”

Whatever happens, I hope you’re still able to play my game on your Android device in 2025.
