How is BIGO still allowed on the App Store?

So I'm wondering why this app has been banned multiple times from both apple and android app stores yet stilll comes back...Im pretty sure having hidden games that can only be unlocked via direct email is against guidelines... Especially when these are gambling games... I have them myself and have fell victim to it till realizing it was deff rigged like any gambling game...I have no idea how this has gone unnoticed maybe because they use their in game currency called diamonds which you buy with real cash.... Either way you are spending REAL money and it is legit a slot machine game... Even though they don't allow kids to stream, they can easily start gambling, my kid just did it.... this app needs to be thrown in the trash. Besides the gambling you have the other reasons they have been banned for.... When they got back in the App Store they sent out a letter to all the agencies which was forwarded to us hosts... It had new guidelines all around underage kids and explicit content... Im going to take the shot in the dark here and say that's why they were removed in the first place.... Hopefully I can upload a pic of the game and also an in game message to the admins stating I have the current gambling games but id like the newer ones they released... Even if I don't receive compensation for me and my kids being tricked into gambling on a "social media streaming platform", at the very least investigate it and remove the gambling or the app all together.

Crash,Greedy,Yummy.. A few of the hidden games under "Activities" you need to email them for directly.

This is to show you I had the games, and that if you attempt to ask about it in game instead of an email you will be denied.

Hello!


There must be hundreds of such games in the App Store, or am I mistaken? You may have to watch your son’s device, and ensure that he doesn’t download and play such games.


Apple isn’t here in the Forum, so they’ll not see your concerns about this. You can contact them via the following feedback link: Product Feedback - Apple


They won’t respond back, but they will read it, and any actions they take (or don’t take) are at their discretion.


Have a great day!

Oh you can give it a try. There is a limit though to how many words you can have in your feedback, so you may or may not have to edit it. You could also link this thread, so they can read the full thing if they want to including your images.
