Instead check three things on each developer page before you submit: what technical and content requirements they list, what rights you sign away, and whether the deal is exclusive. Those details live on <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.crazygames.com\/\">CrazyGames&#8217; developer page<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.poki.com\/\">Poki&#8217;s developer page<\/a>, not in third-party comparisons.<\/p>\n<p>Publishing through Playgama is another route: upload via developer.<a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/developers\">playgama.com<\/a> to get a test and feedback within 24 hours, and the game is published on playgama.com and distributed to partner portals. Publishing is non-exclusive, so rights stay with the developer.<\/p>\n<p>Rights matter more than approval speed. A sublicense means you keep ownership of the game and grant the platform permission to publish it; an exclusive deal restricts where else you can submit the same build. <\/p>\n<p>Other places to compare on the same basis: <a href=\"https:\/\/gamedistribution.com\/\">GameDistribution<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/itch.io\/docs\/creators\/faq\">itch.io<\/a>, which hosts HTML5 games in an iframe on its own domain.<\/p>\n<p>Read each platform&#8217;s terms in full before submitting; don&#8217;t rely on secondhand summaries of thresholds or review times.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.crazygames.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CrazyGames for developers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.poki.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Poki for developers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gamedistribution.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">GameDistribution<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/itch.io\/docs\/creators\/faq\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">itch.io creators FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/developers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Playgama for developers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/playgama\/bridge\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Playgama Bridge (GitHub)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Related questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I submit the same game to both CrazyGames and Poki?<\/h3>\n<p>Only if neither deal is exclusive.
