Age rating and IARC classification match actual content

An inaccurate age rating misdirects parental controls and content filtering on both platforms. Apple and Google use age ratings to enforce parental control features: a gambling mechanic in a 4+ app bypasses every parental restriction a parent has set. COPPA §312.2 and CCPA §1798.120(c) extend protections to users under 13 — an under-rated app with data collection features triggers child-privacy obligations the developer may not have implemented. Apple rejects apps with gambling or casino mechanics rated below 17+; Google will restrict or remove apps where the rating does not match detected content.

Use Apple's rating questionnaire in App Store Connect to obtain an accurate rating — do not estimate. The questionnaire maps specific content types to specific rating levels and removes the guesswork.

For gambling or casino content, the minimum rating is 17+ on iOS and Teen (13+) with a gambling content disclosure on Android. For apps in the Kids category, the content rating must be 4+ or 9+. Search your codebase for slots, spin, wager, casino, poker in component names or game logic files before submission — any match in a 4+ app is a rejection waiting to happen.
