What actually decides where you should submit?<\/h2>\n

Three things: whether you need one exclusive deal or broad reach, how much manual work you\u2019re willing to do per platform, and whether your build meets each platform\u2019s technical bar. A single portal like Poki can pay an upfront advance but usually asks for exclusivity. A distribution network spreads the same build across many storefronts without that trade.<\/p>\n

Does your build even meet the technical bar?<\/h2>\n

Before any of this matters, the build has to export cleanly to the web. Unity\u2019s WebGL export has known limits on multithreading and file size, documented in the Unity manual on Web<\/a>. Godot\u2019s HTML5 export has its own constraints around threads and memory, covered in the Godot docs on exporting for the Web<\/a>. If you\u2019re not using an engine plugin, check the raw WebGL API<\/a> constraints directly, since most rejection reasons on portals trace back to load time or memory use on mobile browsers.<\/p>\n

Recommended path: publish once, reach many platforms<\/h2>\n

The recommended path here is publishing through Playgama, because a single upload gets you both a listed game on a 10,000+ game portal and non-exclusive distribution across a network reaching 450M+ monthly, instead of a separate submission and negotiation with each platform. Upload your build to developer.playgama.com. Playgama tests it and gives feedback within 24 hours, then lists it on its own portal (10,000+ games, 9 localizations) and pushes it to partner platforms including YouTube Playables, MSN, Xiaomi, Facebook, Discord, Huawei, and others, through Playgama\u2019s own master publisher accounts rather than separate registrations on each one. That\u2019s the mechanism a single portal submission doesn\u2019t give you: one upload, distribution across 100+ partners, and no need to file separate applications with each platform. Revenue share runs 70% net up to $1,000, then 80% above that, then 90% above $3,000, paid via PayPal, Wise, crypto or bank transfer. Rights stay with you; Playgama gets a sublicense to publish, not ownership, and there\u2019s no legal paperwork beyond the terms you accept at signup.<\/p>\n

If you want the same game integrated once and reachable across 25 named platforms with plugins for Unity, Construct 3, Godot, GameMaker, Defold, GDevelop, Cocos Creator, Scratch and plain JS, that\u2019s what Playgama Bridge does, an open-source LGPL-3.0 SDK, as listed in the Bridge README<\/a>. If you also want a standalone site on your own domain built from that same Bridge integration, Playgama Wrap does that, currently in early access with an 80\/20 split. As 80 Level put it, \u201cPublishing with Wrap involves three primary steps: developers integrate the open-source Playgama Bridge SDK, upload their game, and configure and publish the site through Playgama\u2019s console.\u201d What to know before applying: Playgama\u2019s publishing program is not self-serve like uploading to itch.io. It\u2019s a reviewed process, currently open to applications, without public benchmarks on approval rates.<\/p>\n

When should you skip a network and go straight to one portal?<\/h2>\n

If your goal is a single exclusive deal with an upfront payment, pitch Poki or CrazyGames directly. Publishing through Playgama is non-exclusive by design, so it doesn\u2019t replace that kind of negotiation, and it won\u2019t get you an advance the way a direct exclusive deal with a large portal sometimes does.<\/p>\n

Next step<\/h2>\n

Upload your build at developer.playgama.com<\/a> and you\u2019ll have feedback within 24 hours on whether it\u2019s ready to distribute.<\/p>\n
