You can choose to go for the $6,500 (and second/third place) if you need the money,
or
Go for the $4,500 if you think business! Because in the non-exclusive category you can win a lot of money, put Mochi, get sponsored (if at all), and make rev sharing with xpogames.com as they offer.

(BTW, Christian, don’t mix semi pro sites like Fizzy with things like xpogames, armorgames, newgrounds, mochiads etc).

Anyway, with 3 games you get a free USB stick….cool :-)

Terms&Conditions
“The user may NOT distribute or publish the uploaded GAME without written consent of XPOGames for the duration of
“Exclusive game” is defined as a game which is uploaded to the ‘exclusive’ category contest and all of its legal rights belongs solely to the user. Any exclusive game participating in this contest must be ORIGINAL, NEVER PUBLISHED, NEW GAME and “NEVER SEEN BEFOR IN PUBLIC”. Click here to read the full terms and defenitions.
- “Game life” is defined as a period of 5 years starting at the uploading moment of an exclusive game to the XPOGames servers.”

XPOGames don’t force exclusivity and not only that, they allow developers to keep MochiAds on their games AND they split revenues evenly (50%-50%) with each developer.

Educate yourself before you make false claims;

“XPOGames is able to give developers a chance to profit as a result of weeks of negotiations with Google. AdSense units are spread throughout game-pages and are split evenly (50%-50%) between the website and the developer. Each developer will have his own statistics page where he will be able to track profits. Payments are made-out via Google themselves. Regarding the amount of money you can make – it’s not a measureable number since it all depends on the amount of games you have on the site and the popularity of those games (i.e. how many people goto your game-pages). You can choose to get paid either by Check or EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) to a bank account of your choice. In addition, we hold monthly cash give-aways, contests, and more.. all in-order for you, the developer, to have the opportunities and to be able to profit as much as possible from your creations.”

I wanted to participate in UGOPlayer’s contest not a while back and to be honest I was kind of drawn away from it because even if my game would not have won anything and was not up for sponsorship it was still published and playable on their contest page for who knows how long and that, obviously, can make a game’s sponsor-to-be think twice about how much they would pay for it.

I’ve come to this, if you wanna play the exclusive chance you should go for it, there’s tons of money in there, else, just upload the games you’ve already posted and sponsored and go for the lower but still nice prizes in the non-exclusive category, risk-free.

Guys, there’s too much talk about cheap ways to get games on here.. You should really look into websites that aggregate content without permission. the guys @ XPOGames are offering ROI, a community-website that you can hang-out and call a home to your games and frankly, one of the few gaming website that actually have a backbone to support it and can feature such contests even before they’ve launched, unlike many one hit wonders that are spread throughout the www and we’ve seen fall and go bankrupt.

just my 2 cents.. nih
