Google doesn’t allow real-money gambling apps on its Google Play store. But Betcade has launched early access today for its own Android-based app store for real-money gambling.

As we noted back in September, this is the case of one company opting out of gambling and another stepping in to provide it. Pasadena, Calif.-based Betcade has created a dedicated app store for real-money gambling apps, providing casino operators with a unified, branded destination for gambling apps. Its first territory will be the U.K., which has more lenient rules on gambling than the United States.
