New ratings system bans use of real gambling on Android devices.
Full Tilt Poker has pulled its new Android application, apparently because it conflicted with a new ratings system for the device.
The beta version of the new Rush Poker mobile application was only released last week, making it's the first official poker game for the device that players can bet money on. It was released for users of the Android 2.2 exclusively and required Adobe Flash to run.
No AccessHowever, Android users wanting to run Rush Poker were unable to access the application in the last couple of days, leading to all sorts of rumors in the mobile poker playing community.
The withdrawal of the game coincided with the introduction of new ratings for Android games, which include a directive that real gambling would be prohibited, while gambling themed application should be rated for teenagers or older.
This might be bad news only for those who are yet to download the application. According to reports from some gambling news websites, those who have already downloaded the app should still be able to play it.
