Example to understand the power of portals
Let’s check the stats of a popular portal – CrazyGames.com.
As we checked, 32 900 000 players visited it in June 2021 (data by SimilarWeb).
And what does it mean? Let’s do some math. We promise – it’ll be easy!
32 900 000 users/ month
1 month = 30 days
32 900 000 users : 30 days = almost 1 100 000 players/ day
The conclusion: 1 100 000 players would have a possibility to see your game in just one day! How is that possible?
CrazyGames.com portal has a homepage with a Featured New Games section. So imagine your game is fun enough, and it appears there.
Your game can stay there for a few days – let’s say for 3 days. It means that more than 3 000 000 players can see your game and play it. 3 000 000 people who already know your game exists.
How to achieve this
So what do you think about adding your game to game portals now? Do you see how it can help you to have more players?
What you need to do is to choose a portal, adjust your game to a portal version (check the requirements of a portal to have it compatible), contact website owners and ask them to add your game. There are portals where you have an option to submit your game. So it’s even more accessible. If they are ok with your game, they’ll add it. And you’ll have one important channel to get new players.
