What Gamedistribution.com does

GameDistribution.com is a B2B HTML5 game distribution platform headquartered in Schiphol-Rijk, the Netherlands, operating as a subsidiary of Azerion. The company runs a two-sided marketplace that connects independent HTML5 game developers with web publishers, providing access to a catalog of more than 22,000 cross-platform browser games — including 1,711+ exclusive titles — across puzzle, arcade, casual, and strategy genres. Games run without downloads on desktop, tablet, and mobile browsers and are embedded on publisher websites via the GameDistribution SDK and iframe-based URL pattern with a gd_sdk_referrer_url parameter for ad-tracking attribution.

The company's commercial offering centers on a White Label Gaming Portal Solution that enables media companies, news publishers, and entertainment portals to deploy fully branded game destinations with ad monetization and infrastructure pre-integrated. Customers include New York Times, Hearst Publishing (across more than 50 publications), the Washington Post, and telecommunications providers that bundle casual games into subscription packages. Game developers onboard through a self-service Developer Panel to submit titles for distribution across the network. The network reaches 350 million+ monthly players through 3,000+ publishers globally.

GameDistribution's revenue model is advertising-based: GameDistribution manages the ad integration and technical infrastructure for embedded game sessions, with publishers receiving a share of advertising revenue. Pricing for white-label partnerships is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated directly with enterprise customers. The go-to-market is sales-led, supported by content marketing (blog.gamedistribution.com), LinkedIn presence, and annual attendance at industry events such as Gamescom. The company does not disclose revenue, funding, or management-team information publicly.
