That only works in the American legal system, not in Europe.
I'm amazed that Apple doesn't want a 30% share on real money gambling. Must be their Disney image. They're missing out on a lot of money there.
They don't really care. They've done enough to cover their hineys legally by providing the mechanism to filter by age. The fact that you can lie about your age makes it your problem, not Apple's.
I wonder if my app, which requires users to bash their phones into their faces, will be rejected? C'mon, Apple!
Disagree totally.
So if Apple had a shop that sold hand guns and they sold a gun to an 8 year old, but their defence was "Well he ticked the box on our electronic sales register than he was 18 (or whatever age you can buy guns legally" then you feel they should be ok using that as a defence?
Or perhaps they should rather demand to see submitted some official proof of age, and not just allow anyone to tick a box and think that clears them of any responsibility.
Not all kids were born yesterday.

and must ask for parental permission before allowing children to "link out of the app or engage in commerce."
I'd also like to think that there are other parents out there like me who set the devices up for their kids (especially the younger kids) and so the opportunity to lie about one's age is in the hands of the parents.
When I set up my son's account, I obviously had to lie because he's under 13. But I will be changing that soon when these new policies take effect.
Which part do you mean? (Not flaming, genuinely curious!)
Also, anyone think that this may mean that AppGratis will be able to come back into the App Store now?

If he's now 13 otherwise only if his school is using iOS devices and then it will likely have to be a totally new account. MobileMe had family accounts so it amazes that iCloud doesn't, which would solve this issue
Destroy FREEMIUM.
When a game was designed around in-game purchases then it ceases to be a game and turns into an interactive Ad tied directly to your credit card.
Imagine my shock when my 8 year old showed me her face juxtaposed on a Blow Up Sex Doll!! One of the included, standard images for your 5 year old to choose from is a latex life size female sex balloon. Luckily my 8 year old didn't know what it was. Please re-rate as 17+

Okay.. could someone here explain how this would work? From the new guidelines:
So what would that mean for someone who wanted to bet on ports played outside of their home country? For example, someone who wanted to bet on matches in the AFL, Rugby League, Rugby Union (if that still exists), cricket, etc.?
why dont they make a special ID just for kids, which covers all these things, so we (the parents) dont have to worry about anything.
