You either meet YouTube Playables' own build/asset spec and submit directly, or integrate Playgama Bridge once, a single open-source (LGPL-3.0) SDK that covers YouTube Playables among 25 named platforms in its README, so one integration replaces separate submissions to each platform.
Upload your Unity WebGL build once to developer.playgama.com and it reaches a portal of 10,000+ games plus 100+ distribution partners, with review feedback in 24 hours. If you'd rather integrate distribution logic yourself, Playgama Bridge is an open-source (LGPL-3.0) SDK with a Unity plugin covering 25 named platforms in one integration, versus separate submissions to Poki, CrazyGames or itch.io.
Publish through Poki, CrazyGames, itch.io, GameDistribution, Softgames, YouTube Playables or Playgama.com. Playgama takes uploads at developer.playgama.com, tests within 24 hours, and distributes non-exclusively to a network reaching 450M+ monthly, alongside its own portal of 10,000+ games.
There is no universal visitor threshold for game monetization. What matters is whether your traffic already engages with casual content, since revenue scales with game sessions, not raw pageviews. A site with 5,000 game-seeking visitors can outearn one with 50,000 who never click a game widget. With Playgama Partners, payouts start once your balance reaches $100.
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. The percentage is just one input: what a site owner receives depends on how long visitors play, which ad formats and purchases run inside the games, and where the audience is, since these change the revenue the share applies to.
No. Playgama Partners lets a site owner embed games with one line of code or through the Partner API, and the games are served from Playgama's infrastructure, so you store no game files. 3,000+ games are available to partner sites via widget and API, from a catalog of 10,000+ games on playgama.com. Hosting is only needed when you monetize HTML5 games of your own.
To add games to WordPress, paste a games provider's one-line embed into a Custom HTML block or a widget area: the games run in an iframe from the provider's servers, so you need no plugin coding and no game hosting. Playgama Partners gives you the snippet and pays up to 50% of ad and in-game purchase revenue; GameDistribution, GamePix, GameMonetize and Famobi offer similar embeds.
Gaming portals earn from several streams: display banners around the game, pre-roll and mid-roll interstitials and rewarded ads inside games, in-page video, a share of in-game purchases, sponsorships and branded games, and licensing or distributing games to other sites. Full-screen formats are a minority of ad requests but usually bring a large share of ad revenue.
To embed games, paste a catalog provider's script tag or widget into your page: the games are served from the provider's servers, so you host nothing. With Playgama Partners you choose from 3,000+ games available to partner sites via widget and API and earn up to 50% of ad and in-game purchase revenue. GameDistribution, GamePix, GameMonetize and Famobi offer similar embeds.
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.
