Support & payments
HTML5GameDevs forum thread · 2021 · original
Mixed reviews. Support was described as terrible, then better, and the reports page as thin. Several posters said payouts arrived on time, one reported a first payment, and another said a game was approved in about 5 days.
“The good of them is that they pay on time”

A developer says they passed the $30 threshold in their first month but still hadn't been paid after 3 months of promises. Originally in Turkish.
“They keep saying they will send it”
One developer's account.
What this means for you
Accounts are mixed: some report on-time payouts, others report small earnings or missing payments. Keep the $30 threshold in mind and track your own reports.
