I've had clients that operate in such 'sensitive' or 'high-risk' areas. Specifically, ones like penny stock promoters and now some crpytocurrency promoters. I could grind my axe about what can happen with low-risk clients getting shafted by Google, but this submission comes along with the territory they chose to operate in. It's an expected result.
The thing is people like my earlier mentioned clients know they are in a field that walks the tightrope between what is legal and what isn't. There's claims they can't make, disclaimers they must post. But that's not all that's dealt with. Even simple sweepstakes have to comply with some basic regulations and required notices.
Google and stuff like merchant accounts treat that type of client just like they are lepers. Nobody wants to touch them, nobody wants to hear from them . They have a market, but not on FAANG's marketplaces, search engines, cloud platforms, etc. Because of it, they have to use more expensive high-risk merchant accounts and roll with the punches from Google issuing manual search ranking penalties because this is an industry they don't want to promote. Whether or not you're buying services off Google they still wield a massive amount of power through their monopoly on search. It is inescapable.
OP hasn't realized any of this, hasn't even tried to seem compliant or sneak in with their services while still doing his thing. This is a good learning experience.
- dangero 7y agoYou haven't even tried to understand what we do and you've made a ton of false accusations in the process. We're 100% compliant with Google policies I think you just aren't familiar with the rules in this regard there are literally hundreds of rewarded apps on Android that's not a violation of their terms. You're not wrong about cryptocurrency being a rough area, but you are wrong that we haven't done our homework. We know every policy of every app store and ad network and mail newsletter system, etc. We read the terms of everything. We know where we stand.
