Reward and prize in app

Hello all,

I want to know is it against to apple policy to put prize system inside my app or not?

I want to implement a system which will give a prize every week to users with high score in my game. This prize is a real object base on that week competition, such as power bank, smart watch or etc, and I will contact the winner by email and get his mailing address to post his prize.

I want to know if this kind of prizing inside app is against apple policy or not.

I've no idea. You could start here: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/


I'd be inclined to think it is a bad idea. If your app is going to be distributed internationally will you ship your prize anywhere? I suspect (without checking) that as a developer you are only supposed to get anonymized data so your scheme to contact the winners directly may break guidelines there. You may also need to abide by lottery or gaming regulations.
