We are committed to keeping the database completely free of advertisements. This is to preserve easy readability but also to ensure that all game suggestions are independent. However, as you might imagine, it’s a costly website to maintain. These costs come from the time it takes to accurately research, play and write up each game. Ensuring that they are written with the parent or career in mind. There are also technical costs, like paying for servers, image rights and the ongoing website development.
To cover these costs we offer publishers and developers of video games the opportunity to sponsor their game. On a weekly basis, they pay to have their game promoted on the site. They have no say over the content in any way. There is no sign-off or input into that content from them apart from fact checking the age ratings and game details.
We clearly mark these with a “Sponsored” sash on the corner of their entry. This sash provides additional visibility of their game in lists. It also displays the game more prominently in a few other ways:
- Higher in search results.
- Prioritised position on any lists .
- Prioritised position on “Similar Game” suggestions.
- Mention on the homepage.
Without the support of our partner organisations and this income from game sponsorship we would need to charge a subscription fee to keep the site going which we currently don’t want to do as the information is often most useful for families who wouldn’t (or couldn’t) pay for it.
If you have a game you would like to be added to the database, or sponsored for promotion than please contact our editor.

Thank you for using our resource, supported by AskAboutGames, ParentZone and PlayAbility Initiative. We are editorially independent, written by parents for parents, but welcome sponsorship, partnership and suggestions. Email our editor for details on these opportunities.
The information on this database is designed to support and complement the in-depth discussion and advice about video game "addiction", violence, spending and online safety in the Taming Gaming book. If you have any concerns or questions in these areas, email our editor who is quick to respond or can arrange for a one-to-one conversation.
