App idea before I forget!

funkylogik

share the love peeps ;)
So bear with me.
We have Google Opinion Awards https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.paidtasks
To earn play store credit for answering surveys.... Say we want that money as cash and a developer created an app with in-app purchases for certain amounts, say I wana pay in $1 of rewards and he puts $0.80 into my PayPal.
Could this work?
Would Google ban it? They're still getting their cut obviously?
Just a falling asleep thought like I get a lot but never write down.
Thanks for reading and PM me if you move it please brother mod.
Also tell me if the idea sucks pants :thumbup::beer:
 
IMO Funky, if Google is like the rest of the big companies/corporations, they want more than just a "cut" they would want ALL the money!!!

P.S. Do people really still say "suck pants?" LMAO!!!!:p
 
"suck pants?" LMAO!!!!:p

Yes people do, see below ;):p

Anyhow, funky, I would definitely agree with hiredgun, this wouldn't be allowed, there is a reason why Google only gives you credits, because they want to keep it in house, so that you are spending that money on something by/from Google.

They don't want that money leaving the Google sphere. :)
 
Lmao thanks guys and ive never said that before lol it must have come from my sleepy mind :D
Oh well it was just an idea. I have them a lot but can't code :)
 
The money isn't really leaving the google sphere, as the Dev is buying it and now has it to use ;)

But I still don't think they'd allow it
 
Let's say it's a grey area that google wouldn't allow lol.
Could it still work if the actual app came from Amazon.. Would the in app purchases to Google still work?

I have a feeling I've just asked a very stupid question but hey ho lol :D

Are you suggesting that the application would give Google credits to the Developer and pay out the user in Paypal, through an Amazon app?

I mean it could totally work. The transferring of currency wouldn't be devalued just because a different app market was used.

It would actually be really easy to make this considering Google Wallet is linked with your Google Credits and you can send money through Email using it.
