[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]We continue our mini-game global expansion series. We’ve talked about CrazyGames, and today we’ll focus on another high-quality online gaming platform—Poki.
💎 A High-Quality Casual Gaming Platform[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]Headquartered in Amsterdam, Poki’s key selling points are its "instant play" feature and multi-device compatibility. It reportedly has 60 million monthly active players and records a staggering 700 million monthly game sessions. Compared to other platforms, Poki is well-known for having stricter requirements for game quality.
💡 Why Is It Considered "High-Quality"?[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]Poki is not a platform where you can simply register and upload games freely. First, you must submit your finished game, and only after passing their review can you become a developer. This mechanism ensures the quality of games on the platform and also attracts a more discerning player base.
📱 How to Launch a Game on Poki?- [color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))][color=var(--md-box-samantha-deep-text-color) !important]Submit Your Game: To become a developer, you first need to submit your game. Poki’s review criteria focus on three aspects: fun (whether the core gameplay is engaging), popularity potential (player fit and alignment with trends), and technical proficiency (network smoothness, compatibility, etc.).

Additionally, integrating Poki’s SDK is a mandatory step.

- [color=var(--md-box-samantha-deep-text-color) !important]Technical Testing: The game is launched in the "New Games" section with a daily play limit. After data collection, it is temporarily taken down so the developer can optimize it based on feedback.
- [color=var(--md-box-samantha-deep-text-color) !important]Soft Launch: The game moves to specific category pages with no play limits, where player feedback and performance data are tested. This phase usually lasts 2–3 weeks.
- [color=var(--md-box-samantha-deep-text-color) !important]Global Launch: Games with good performance are featured on the homepage and receive significant traffic support.
💸 How to Monetize?[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]Poki mainly monetizes through ad revenue sharing. As long as you integrate Poki’s SDK, you can access ad interfaces, which include two formats: in-page ads and in-game ads. The platform advocates non-intrusive ads, which preserve user experience while boosting revenue.
[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]While Poki has not publicly disclosed its specific revenue share ratio, data from popular games on the platform suggests that ad revenue can be quite substantial.
📍 A High-Quality Platform Worth Trying[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]Poki’s core appeal lies in its high traffic and high standards, making it especially suitable for HTML5 game developers who prioritize quality. Although the entry barrier is slightly higher, the rewards are also greater.
[color=var(--md-box-body-color,var(--md-box-global-text-color))]Expanding games globally is no easy task, but choosing the right platform can make the process much more efficient. If you have confidence in your work, Poki is well worth a try.
