Hey, you should try gambling!
The controversy over Apple’s App Store was set off by ads for apps centered around gambling. Ads for gambling apps were littered across the App Store almost immediately after Apple allowed ads, with a few in surprisingly inappropriate places (more on that later). Marco Arment, perhaps most famous for his work at Tumblr, took to Twitter to complain about the ads on the page for his app Overcast.

Within 24 hours, Apple announced a freeze on gambling apps, telling MacRumors, “We have paused ads related to gambling and a few other categories on App Store product pages.” Apple didn’t say whether gambling ads would eventually be allowed to return, nor did the company respond to Gizmodo’s questions about the issue.
