    "We don't allow online casinos or support any unregulated gambling apps that facilitate sports betting. This includes if an app leads consumers to an external website that allows them to participate in paid tournaments to win real money or cash prizes, it is a violation of our policies," a blogpost by Google said.

    Google also said that it informs developers of the policy violation and removes the app as the course of action. The app will be restored on the Play Store once it adheres to the policy guidelines.

    Paytm is however still available on the Apple App Store. There are no issues in the app's services reported so far. Paytm for Business app is still available on the Play Store.

    Dear Paytm'ers, Paytm Android app is temporarily unavailable on Google's Play Store for new downloads or updates. It will be back very soon. All your money is completely safe, and you can continue to enjoy your Paytm app as normal, Paytm said in a tweet.
