Review time depends on the platform: web portals handle submissions on their own schedules, and queue lengths vary. The single biggest lever you control is submission quality: a build that loads cleanly, has correct metadata, working ad calls and no console errors gets through review faster than one that needs back-and-forth fixes.
Before submitting anywhere, it helps to check your build against each platform’s stated requirements yourself.
Where can you submit a web game, and what should you check first?
- Poki for developers – has its own submission and build requirements.
- CrazyGames for developers – publishes its own developer documentation and requirements.
- GameDistribution – distributes builds to a network of partner sites.
- itch.io creators FAQ – hosts HTML5 games in an iframe on its own domain.
- Playgama.com – upload via the Developer Console at developer.playgama.com, get test and feedback within 24 hours, and the game is published on playgama.com and distributed to partner portals.
Whichever destination you choose, fix technical issues first: check the build loads without console errors, ad calls fire only at natural pauses, and required metadata (title, thumbnail, description) is complete before you submit.

Related questions
What causes moderation delays most often?
Technical problems: broken builds, missing ad calls, console errors, or incomplete metadata like missing thumbnails or descriptions – not usually content review itself.
Can I speed up moderation?
Test your build against the target platform’s published requirements before submitting, so reviewers do not send it back for fixes that add another review cycle.
Do I need to resubmit to every portal separately?
Yes, each destination reviews builds independently; publishing to several portals means preparing and submitting a build that meets each one’s own requirements.
