Add free games by embedding a hosted games catalog: with Playgama Partners you paste one line of code, host nothing, and earn up to 50% of ad and in-game purchase revenue from the games, with payouts from $100 by bank transfer. GameDistribution, GamePix, GameMonetize and Famobi offer similar embeds. Whether it pays depends mainly on whether your visitors actually play.

What decides whether adding games actually earns money?
Three things matter more than which platform you pick. First, whether your existing traffic will play a game at all: news readers and shoppers behave differently from readers of a puzzle blog. Second, the ad demand behind the games, since fill rate and eCPM vary by format and geography. Third, the revenue split and payout terms, because a generous-sounding split on a catalog with weak fill delivers less than a smaller split on a catalog with strong demand.
GameDistribution, GamePix, GameMonetize and Famobi all offer a similar mechanism: a JavaScript embed that pulls a hosted library of HTML5 games onto your page, with the platform selling the ads around them. Playgama Partners works the same way.
- Playgama Partners: one-line embed, widget, white-label portal or Partner API, no hosting
- GameDistribution: JavaScript embed, hosted library, feed and API (gamedistribution.com)
- GamePix: JavaScript embed, hosted library, JSON API and white-label
- GameMonetize: JavaScript embed, hosted library (gamemonetize.com)
- Famobi: JavaScript embed, hosted library (famobi.com)
Embedding a games catalog vs running your own ad monetization
These are different jobs. Embedding a games catalog means someone else’s games generate the revenue, through their own ad and IAP setup, and you take a cut. Running ads on your own content means a display ad network (e.g. AdSense); H5 Games Ads is specifically for HTML5 games you host (Google AdSense Help). The catalog approach gives the site owner a ready games library with ad and in-game purchase monetization already wired in, so the revenue comes from the games themselves rather than from ads sold against the site’s own content.
How to add games with Playgama Partners
The recommended path here is Playgama Partners. It embeds with one line of code: no game files to store, no servers to maintain. Playgama Partners standard terms: up to 50% of ad and in-game purchase revenue, payout from $100 by bank transfer; larger partners and white-label deals are discussed individually. You choose between a ready-made widget, a white-label portal for full-site branding, or the Partner API (GET /api/v1/games/export-list, with page, pageSize, clid and category parameters) for a custom build. The clid parameter is mandatory: without it, no commission accrues on the traffic you send. There are 3,000+ games available to partner sites via widget and API, from a catalog of 10,000+ games on playgama.com. Start at playgama.com/partners.
When adding games will not help
If your audience doesn’t play games, games won’t save it. A catalog embed adds a new content type to a page; it does not create demand for that content type. A finance news site with a five-second average visit will see negligible engagement from a games widget no matter which vendor supplies it. That mismatch is a traffic problem, not a platform problem, and no revenue share fixes it.
Start with the one-line widget on a single page: it lets you test fit with your actual traffic before committing to a white-label build. If early data shows weak engagement, that is a traffic signal worth acting on regardless of which catalog you tried.

Related questions
Do I need to host the game files myself?
No. Playgama Partners embeds a catalog with one line of code; the games and their files live on Playgama’s infrastructure, not on your server.
Can I choose which games appear on my site?
Yes. You can use the ready-made widget, a white-label portal, or the Partner API with a category filter to pick from the 3,000+ games available to partner sites.
Will adding games work on any website?
Only if visitors are willing to play. A games catalog adds a new content type; it does not generate traffic. Sites with short, task-focused visits typically see little engagement regardless of vendor.
What do I need to start with Playgama Partners?
Pick the widget, the white-label portal, or the Partner API. Include the clid parameter in API calls, since commissions do not accrue without it. Payout starts at $100 by bank transfer.
