Editorial Standards

The written policy every editor follows when reviewing submissions, blog posts, and corrections. Public so you can hold us to it.

What we accept

  • Free-to-play or free-tier browser games playable without downloads or client installs.
  • Games with a working landing page and a real, live client (no vaporware, no "coming soon").
  • Submissions with an original, substantive description (400+ characters) that accurately describes the game.
  • Screenshots and banners from the game itself, not stock art or generic key art unless clearly tagged as such.
  • Games in any genre - strategy, MMO, idle, text-based, RPG, casual - as long as the site is safe and functional.

What we don't accept

  • Explicit sexual content or games behind adult-content gateways.
  • Real-money gambling or crypto casino games marketed as browser games.
  • Games that require a payment before the player can meaningfully play (free-tier is fine, hard paywalls are not).
  • Sites that primarily serve as affiliate funnels, referral farms, or crypto airdrops.
  • Content that promotes hatred, harassment, self-harm, or illegal activity.
  • Copied, spun, or AI-generated descriptions that don't add editorial value.
  • Duplicate listings for the same game (whether or not the owner is the same person).

Review process

Every new listing goes through a three-step human review within 48 hours of submission. Rejected submissions receive a specific reason via email and can be re-submitted after the issue is fixed. Approved submissions appear on the toplist immediately.

  1. Playability check. The editor loads the game URL and verifies it starts a playable session without a paywall or gated beta.
  2. Accuracy check. The editor compares the submitted description, screenshots, and banner to the actual game and rejects anything misleading.
  3. Content check. The editor confirms the site does not violate the "what we don't accept" list above.

Corrections policy

If you spot an error on any page - wrong genre, dead link, outdated description, incorrect fact in a blog post - use the contact form. We aim to fix or respond within 48 hours. Every correction is logged with the date and the field changed; significant corrections are noted at the bottom of the affected page or article.

Conflict of interest

Editors are not permitted to submit or vote for games they have a financial stake in. Sponsored placements (Premium and Promoted) are billed and displayed automatically; no editor decides who gets promoted. When we write about an advertiser in the blog, we say so explicitly at the top of the article.

Takedown & DMCA

To request removal of a listing you own but cannot access, or to file a DMCA notice, use the contact form and choose the "DMCA / Takedown" category. Valid takedown requests are actioned within 24 hours - the listing is removed pending investigation. Owners of removed listings can respond via the same form.

Feedback

These standards are living. If you think a rule is unfair or missing, tell us via the contact form. Substantive suggestions are reviewed by the editorial team and, if adopted, published in the blog with credit.
