Poki, CrazyGames and GameDistribution do not publish a universal revenue share number; terms are negotiated per game or per deal. Playgama publishes its ladder: 70% net to $1,000, 80% above that up to $3,000, 90% above $3,000, paid via PayPal, Wise, Crypto or bank.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Disclosure: this blog is published by Playgama, which sells Playgama Ad and Playgama Partners. Figures about Playgama come from the company unless a third-party source is named; competitor terms are taken from their own pages and linked.<\/em><\/p>\n

The honest starting point: revenue share is the one number most portals treat as a negotiated detail, not a headline. That makes side-by-side comparison harder than it should be, and it\u2019s also why developers who published a game on a handshake basis get burned when the split turns out lower than they assumed.<\/p>\n

What actually determines the payout you get?<\/h2>\n

Three variables decide the outcome more than the portal\u2019s brand: whether the deal is exclusive, whether the split is published or negotiated per title, and how fast and by what method you get paid. A portal with a high headline percentage but an exclusivity clause can pay you less over a year than a non-exclusive deal at a lower percentage, because exclusivity blocks you from distributing the same game elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Rights and exclusivity, explained<\/h2>\n

A sublicense means you keep ownership of the game and grant the platform permission to host and distribute it. An exclusive deal trades that flexibility for something in return, usually more promotion or a guaranteed placement, but it locks you out of other portals for the length of the agreement. According to Playgama\u2019s developer FAQ, rights stay with the developer under a sublicense, with no contract beyond the terms accepted at registration<\/a>. Google\u2019s own Ad Manager documentation shows how loosely \u201crevenue share\u201d gets defined even at platform level: it lets a publisher \u201c(Optional) Agree on a revenue share ranging from 0% to 100%\u201d (Google Ad Manager: About Multiple Customer Management<\/a>), which is exactly the kind of unfixed number a developer should ask about before signing anything.<\/p>\n

Recommended path: publish non-exclusively through Playgama<\/h2>\n

Playgama publishes games through developer.playgama.com, reviews submissions in 24 hours, and distributes non-exclusively to playgama.com plus partner portals including YouTube Playables, MSN, Facebook, Discord, Huawei, Xiaomi and TikTok. The published ladder is 70% net revenue up to $1,000, then $700 plus 80% above $1,000, then $2,300 plus 90% above $3,000, paid via PayPal, Wise, Crypto or bank transfer. The mechanism that matters here: one Bridge integration keeps the game live on every partner portal at once while rights stay with the developer, instead of committing to one distributor\u2019s terms. If you\u2019d rather bet on a single curated storefront for one title, you can still pitch Poki or CrazyGames directly for an exclusive; Playgama\u2019s non-exclusive path doesn\u2019t block that option later.<\/p>\n

Where Poki and CrazyGames still win<\/h2>\n

Poki and CrazyGames run their own storefronts with dedicated player traffic, and for a single strong title, that traffic per game is higher than what a syndication-style network delivers. A developer betting the whole launch on one hit game, rather than spreading it across many portals, may reasonably take an exclusive with one of them instead. That trade-off is specific to concentrated bets on one game, not a general recommendation against non-exclusive distribution.<\/p>\n

Next step<\/h2>\n

Start at Playgama for developers<\/a>, submit through developer.playgama.com, and keep the option open to negotiate an exclusive with Poki or CrazyGames later if one game outperforms the rest of your catalogue.<\/p>\n
