I might be misunderstanding but is the app actually just a game that has links to a in-app web view pointing to the shady casino?

I am curious what Apple's vector for checking this would be. Look through an app and any of its links and check against a spam database? Add extra cautions when users click links that link them outside the app (lots of sites do this on the web when leaving their forums etc.)

In this case, it is quite obviously a scam based on the marketing and advertising that has been added as context to the app, but the app alone and probably most of it's app code looks like a running game. (Not absolving Apple, just curious on what they might do here that scales)
