vivo game centre: no IAP without ISBN; paid-game qualification table

vivo’s 开放平台游戏审核规范 (update stamp on the page: 2026-05-06 22:25:44), opened 20 September 2026, is the store’s game-review rulebook for the Android game-centre path.

Documented rules

• No ISBN, no IAP. Clause 1.1.2: under national rules, mobile games not approved by the competent press/publication authority may not operate commercially in Mainland China — “没有版号的游戏不得有任何形式的内购计费内容.”
• No shared qualifications. Clause 1.1.3: game qualifications must not be reused across titles.
• Mobile-only intake. Special clauses limit intake to titles whose ISBN / copyright category is mobile; “移动-休闲益智” ISBN rows are directed to the single-player lane.
• Paid vs free packs. Paid games require software copyright and the online-game ISBN issuance letter / approval reply (plus operator authorisation if the developer is not the ISBN operator), together with vivo’s disclaimer letter. Free games can ship on copyright + disclaimer, with extra notes if an ISBN is nonetheless supplied.

Limits

A China soft-launch plan that assumes vivo IAP without an ISBN contradicts this primary rulebook.
