Business FAQs

Can I publish the same HTML5 game on several portals?

Usually yes, but not everywhere: GameDistribution, GamePix, Famobi, itch.io and Playgama all publish non-exclusively, while Poki's preferred deal is web-exclusive for five years by default and CrazyGames offers extra compensation for launch exclusivity. Where multi-porting is allowed, the real cost is one SDK integration and account per portal.

Business FAQs

What are typical payment thresholds for game publishers?

Published thresholds cluster at $100: Playgama releases a withdrawal above $100, CrazyGames requires €100 before it issues a payout, and GameDistribution pays within 60 days of the monthly report once the share reaches €100. Poki, GamePix and Famobi publish none. The threshold is a separate question from the revenue split.

Business FAQs

Which game portal pays out fastest?

Of the portals that publish anything, CrazyGames is fastest: €100 minimum, then payment by about the 10th of the next month. GameDistribution uses the same €100 but allows itself 60 days after the monthly report. Playgama releases a withdrawal once the balance passes $100. Poki, GamePix and Famobi publish no schedule at all.

Business FAQs

What are playable ads and do they work for web games?

Playable ads are short interactive demos of a game shown in an ad slot, and they work for web games from two sides. For a game publisher, a playable is just a creative type that advertisers bring: if demand supports it, it runs in your existing interstitial or rewarded slot. For a developer promoting a game, it is a user-acquisition creative built from that game.

Business FAQs

Where do I place a video player around a web game?

Place an in-page video player on the page around the game, not inside it: beside or below the game frame, visible without scrolling and never over game controls. It plays muted by default, and on mobile it usually goes below the game or in a sticky slot. It runs alongside gameplay, so unlike interstitials and rewarded ads it needs no break points.

Business FAQs

How do I measure whether ads are hurting retention?

Compare retention (D1, D7), session length and cumulative revenue per user between a group seeing your current ad load and a group with fewer or no interstitials, over at least two weeks. If retention drops more than a few points while session RPM barely moves, the ad load is too aggressive for that placement or geo.
