No, reputable portals do not take ownership. You keep the rights and grant them a sublicense to publish and distribute your game. Check each portal’s own terms page for exclusivity, revenue share and payout threshold before uploading, since these vary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. Reputable web game portals ask for a license to publish and distribute your game, not ownership of it. A sublicense means you keep copyright and the right to publish the same game anywhere else; the portal only gets permission to host, show and distribute it under the terms you accepted. On Playgama, for example, publishing is non-exclusive<\/a>: rights stay with the developer, Playgama receives a sublicense to publish, and there are no legal documents beyond the terms accepted at registration.<\/p>\n
