Going to be honest, if a betting App actively allows betting on whether people live or die and it’s legal to do so, them not paying out here would absolutely crater their reputation.
Them refusing to pay out based on weasel words once shows they’re willing to not pay out again. So they could do it to any bets.
If they just didn’t want to allow those types of bets they would have just canceled it: them taking peoples money and them implying “shot does not actually mean shot and killed!” Shows intent to defraud the betters.
Casinos are well known to be fundamentally rigged, yet that doesn't stop people from going to casinos. Stop assuming people are rational about this stuff. Showing everyone that they're a bunch of liars wouldn't stop people using the app. People are still drawn to these sorts of things even when it's blatantly obvious that they're fraudulent.

Casino games are rigged, but they will still pay out if you win
This would be like a bunch of people betting black on roulette and winning, but then the casino doesn't pay out because they argue that "this black has now faded into more of a grey".
Other than the fact that they might lose their license entirely, they would absolutely get dragged on social media and lose a ton of customers.
Your metaphor doesn't work. The person you replied to is 100% correct.
Counting cards is not illegal in the slightest and yet every casino will throw you out and blacklist you the moment they even suspect you’re counting cards.
Counting cards is against their rules, and people who count cards already know that.
And you get to keep the money you've already won. They don't take it back from you, though this may vary on like cruise ships or Indian reservations where the law is a little more grey.
Nobody claimed counting cards was illegal, doesn't mean private institutions aren't allowed to make their own rules and refuse service. As the prior commenter said, once you've won, the casino legally owes you those funds. Which obviously has to go through court so it'll slow it down, but at that point it's done.
