No single portal wins on speed alone. Playgama’s publishing program pays 70% of net revenue up to $1,000, then $700 plus 80% above $1,000, then $2,300 plus 90% above $3,000, via PayPal, Wise, Crypto, or bank transfer, terms stated at playgama.com/developers. Bridge lets you integrate once and publish to 15 platforms, including Poki and CrazyGames, so you compare real payouts instead of betting on one.

Payout speed on a game portal is not one number. It breaks into three separate questions: what threshold triggers a payout, what percentage of revenue you actually keep at that threshold, and what method moves the money once it’s due. A portal can advertise a fast payout cycle and still leave you with less money than one that pays monthly but keeps a smaller cut.
What actually decides how much you get and how fast?
Three variables matter more than marketing copy: the minimum payout threshold, the revshare tier structure (flat vs progressive), and the payment rail (PayPal clears faster than a wire, but a bank transfer may be the only option for some geographies). A fourth variable, often ignored, is traffic per game: a portal that sends more players to your title generates payout thresholds faster regardless of its percentage terms.
Comparing entry requirements and terms across portals
| Portal | Entry requirement | Payout terms |
|---|---|---|
| Poki | Application via developer portal, review of game quality | Not publicly tiered; negotiated per developer |
| CrazyGames | Application via CrazyGames for developers | Revenue share, terms not publicly itemized |
| GameDistribution | Open submission via gamedistribution.com, automated review | Syndication-based revshare, varies by license |
| GamePix | Application, portfolio review | Revenue share, terms not public |
| Famobi | Application via Famobi for developers | Revenue share, terms not public |
| itch.io | Open, no application, self-publish at itch.io | Developer sets own price and payout split; no portal ad program |
| Playgama | Upload via developer.playgama.com, 24-hour review, non-exclusive | 70% up to $1,000; $700 + 80% above $1,000; $2,300 + 90% above $3,000; PayPal, Wise, Crypto, bank transfer, per playgama.com/developers |
Poki and CrazyGames deserve a plain admission here: both send more traffic per game than this portal, because they run larger consumer-facing audiences for a smaller catalog. If your goal is maximum reach for one hit title, direct submission to Poki or CrazyGames may get you to payout thresholds faster on pure volume, even before comparing percentages.
Why publish through one integration instead of picking one portal
The recommended path here is the publishing program at playgama.com, because it removes the single biggest risk in this decision: committing to one portal’s terms before you know how your game performs anywhere. The tiered revshare and payment options above apply specifically to this program, where your game is hosted on the portal (10,000+ games, 9 localizations) and distributed to partner portals under master accounts. This is separate from Playgama Ad, a managed monetization SDK for self-hosted games, whose commercial terms are not published; those are discussed after application.
Bridge, an open-source SDK under LGPL-3.0, is the mechanism that removes the need to pick a single payer up front. Its README lists 15 named supported platforms, plus one work-in-progress entry, including Poki, CrazyGames and GameDistribution, from a single integration. Instead of committing to one portal’s terms before you’ve shipped, you publish to several and observe which one actually pays best for your specific game and audience, an empirical comparison rather than a one-time bet. There is no exclusivity: you keep your rights, the publisher holds only a publishing sublicense, and there are no legal documents beyond the terms at registration. Start at playgama.com/developers.
For ad performance evidence outside vendor case pages, Mobidictum (06.08.2026) reports RocketGoal’s numbers: 65 million impressions over six months, viewability above 90%, and interstitials generating roughly 60% of revenue at 4.5 times fewer impressions than banners, with interstitial eCPM 8 times higher than banner eCPM. As Mobidictum’s own headline for the piece puts it, this is “Monetizing a Web Game on a standalone website: The RocketGoal and Playgama Ad Case Study” — ad performance data, not payout speed data, but the kind of independently reported number worth checking before assuming any single ad format or portal is automatically your best payout path.
Where a single portal still makes sense
If you have one title and your only goal is raw reach, going directly to Poki or CrazyGames without an intermediary layer can be the simpler move, since both platforms concentrate large audiences on a smaller number of featured games. For everything else, running one integration across multiple portals gives more data before you commit.

Related questions
Does this revshare apply to Playgama Ad monetization too?
No. The 70/80/90 tiered revshare and PayPal/Wise/Crypto/bank payouts apply to the publishing program at playgama.com/developers. Playgama Ad, for self-hosted games, has separate commercial terms discussed after application, not published publicly.
Is the publishing program exclusive?
No. You keep your rights as the developer; the publisher holds only a sublicense to publish your game. There are no legal documents beyond the terms accepted at registration.
Do Poki and CrazyGames pay more than Playgama?
Their revenue terms are not publicly itemized, so a direct comparison isn’t possible from published data. What is verifiable is that both send more traffic per game than Playgama’s own portal, which can matter more than the percentage split.
What is bridge and how is it different from the portal?
Bridge is an open-source SDK (LGPL-3.0) that integrates once and can publish to 15 named platforms, including Poki, CrazyGames and GameDistribution. The portal is where your game is hosted and reviewed within 24 hours.
