Belize Government Lotteries App Removed from Google Play Store

In a surprising turn of events, the Belize Government Lotteries Limited (BGLL) app has been removed from the Google Play Store just one month after its launch. The app, which allowed users to purchase Boledo, Jackpot, and Ordinary Lottery tickets, was initially approved but later flagged for violating Google’s stringent gambling policies. Google prohibits apps that facilitate real-money lottery purchases, leading to the app’s removal. While existing users can still access the app, no future updates will be available. In response, BGLL has launched a web portal offering the same features and security as the app. Interestingly, the app remains accessible on the Apple App Store, as Apple permits licensed gambling apps in Belize. BGLL has assured users of its commitment to providing a seamless experience across platforms, urging Android users to transition to the web portal while iOS users can continue using the app as usual.
