Deals: What can I expect if I work with Poki? 🤝

If your game is a fit for the Poki platform, we will offer you an agreement. These agreements fall into two categories, Web Exclusive and Non-Exclusive. We will describe the difference between these two below.

Exclusivity on the Web

Poki prefers to work with developers on a Web Exclusive basis. That means that on the open web, your game will be published only on Poki. Platforms such as Steam and the mobile app stores as well as traditional consoles are not part of this exclusivity clause.

We do consider both Discord and YouTube Playables as web-based platforms, since they allow users to play HTML5 games directly in a browser (on the Discord web client and on YouTube). Because of that, releasing a game on those platforms would conflict with our web exclusivity policy.

By default, exclusive deals with Poki are set for 7 years. In return for the exclusivity, Poki invests additional time and resources into your game. Once your game is published exclusively, we support you with:

  • Marketing and promotion of your game to reach 90 million players and beyond.
  • Monetization through our top-tier ad partners and the best brand deals.
  • 100% of the game’s earnings when you bring the player. For example, when a player searches for your game title in Google or a player lands directly on your game.
  • 50% of the game’s earnings when Poki brings the player. For example, when a player reaches your game through Poki promotions or marketing campaigns.

Non-Exclusive Deals

Non-exclusive licensing options are available at Poki. In these cases, Poki offers a one-time flat license fee in exchange for your game. The added revenue sharing and marketing for Web Exclusive games does not apply to these deal types.
