Questions
What counts as a play?
A click on Play from a sponsored spot. It counts the way our public play counts do: once per game per network a day, and only if the click starts on a Foundplay page. Repeat clicks don't use up your plays. A click on Play on your game's page counts too, when the visitor came from a sponsored spot.
What if you don't deliver the plays?
If a boost is running behind, we extend it at no cost, by up to 5 days, and email you the new end; you can end it any time on its page and take the refund for the rest instead. Whatever still isn't delivered when it ends is refunded automatically, in proportion. Get 32 of 40 plays on the Boost plan and $2 comes back. The refund goes to the card you paid with, and banks can take 5 to 10 days to show it.
Who will see my game?
We pick by your game's genres, with nothing to set up. It shows on those genre pages and in searches that match it. Boost Plus, Launch and Takeover also put it next to similar games, and Launch and Takeover on the home page. Every boost can also take the home page and spots next to similar games when no plan that includes them needs them, and boosts that are behind schedule show more often, so each one can deliver on time.
How do I get players for my browser game?
Listing a game on Foundplay is free. A Boost adds sponsored spots and a set number of plays: 40 plays in 5 days for $10, up to 800 plays in 14 days for $129. Any plays we don't deliver in time are refunded. Submit a game
Is there a free trial?
Not right now. Due to overwhelming demand, we've paused new free boosts for now. You can still buy a boost. Free boosts already in line still get their 10 plays, and the line is live at /boost/queue. See the line
Do I pay for views?
No, you pay for plays. We also count how many times your game was shown and tell you, but only plays are guaranteed.
Which games can be boosted?
Any game listed on Foundplay that you made or have the right to promote. Fan games and copies of big franchises, gambling, adult content and token sales aren't allowed. A game whose link is down can't be boosted until it works again. Not listed yet? Submit it first. It's free. Submit a game
Does Foundplay host my game?
No. Foundplay is a discovery platform for free browser games. Play sends visitors to your own site, and we can't see what they do there.
Is my game reviewed?
Yes. Every boost is reviewed automatically after you pay. If the review isn't sure, a person checks it, usually within a day. If it's turned down, you get a full refund.
When does it start?
Once it passes review, usually right after you pay. The plan's days count from then, not from when you paid. A boost that waits for a person starts when they approve it.
How do I pay, and do I get a receipt?
You pay on Stripe's checkout page, so your card details never reach Foundplay. Stripe sends a receipt to the email on your account. We email you when your boost goes live, when it ends and about any refund, and your boost page shows plays as they come in.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free one. You sign in with your email when you buy, so we can send your receipt and results.
The full rules are in the Boost section of the terms.

How we count these numbers
Numbers come from Foundplay's own visit counter and update every few minutes. A visitor is one person on one day. The last 24 hours is a rolling day; visitors a day averages the last three whole days and plays a day the last seven, all rounded down. Plays per listing count original games over the last 7 days. Shares are of the last seven days of visits, and country shares count only visits whose country is known.
