Revenue sharing rules
Publica Games is free to play and free to publish. The site is paid for by ads, and part of that money goes back to the people who make games players truly enjoy.
The developer pool
Every month, 50% of the NET ad revenue actually received by Publica Games (what the ad network really paid, after fees and chargebacks) forms the developer pool.
House games (such as Brojek Games titles) do not take part in the pool: it is only for independent developers.
Who qualifies each month
- At least 1,000 plays in the month.
- Average session of 3 minutes or more.
- Next-day return (D1) of 10% or more.
- Game published for at least 7 days.
- No rule violations (fake traffic, prohibited content, copying other people’s games).
How the pool is split
The pool is split between qualified games by qualified minutes played: only sessions of 60 seconds or more count, and each session counts for at most 120 minutes.
Time is measured by the portal page while the game is visible and the tab is focused. Bot traffic and suspicious repeats are discarded.
Payment
- Paid via PayPal to the email in your dashboard. Minimum US$ 50; below that the balance carries over to the next months.
- Payment is made by the 20th of the following month, after the ad network has paid Publica Games.
- Nothing is paid automatically: every month is checked and paid manually.
Important
Sharing starts once the site has active ads; no amount is guaranteed.
These rules may change; changes apply from the month after they are announced on this page.
