Comment: WP:CORPDEPTH doesn't seem to be passed. Possible COI. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 12:08, 10 September 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Lacks decent secondary sourcing and heavy on business jargon, currently a mix of business milestones and not really reception or discussion of its significance. Has a WP:PROMO flavour. Could be notable as a high-profile HTML5 distributor but has to have more significant coverage demonstrating this. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 08:18, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Playgama – privately held UAE based company, which operates the same name HTML5 game distribution and monetization platform. Founded in 2023.[1] by Dmitry Kachmar, Playgama later raised $3 million in funding from different commercial structures.[2]
Introduction
[edit]Playgama was founded in Dubai, UAE in 2023 by Dmitry Kachmar, previously the Chief Business Officer of Nebius Group NV.[1]
The Playgama platform is an ecosystem, including a number of products for distributing, promoting and monetizing HTML5 games (or browser games, web games), which can be played on the internet connected computer, smartphone or other device browser without additional programs installation.
Products and services
[edit]Playgama's core solution is aimed at overcoming the fragmentation of the HTML5 games fast growing market[3][4][5], which is a major problem for developers. Unlike centralized online resources for publishing mobile applications, such as the Apple App Store or Google Play on mobile devices, as well as Steam and Epic Games Store on PC, there is no such platform for the HTML5 market.
The company's core product, opensource[6] Playgama SDK (ex Instant game bridge SDK), allows game developers to simplify and unify simultaneous access to many such publishing platforms, including social networks, instant messengers including Telegram & Discord, and just individual websites.[7][8][9][10][11][12] It also integrates Scratch platform games publishing[13].
In July 2025, Playgana integrated IAP (In App Payment) support in it's SDK[14]
History & awards
[edit]- Dec 3, 2024 raised $3 million from the Open Platform, s16vc and 5 others investors in a seed round.[15][16]
- MENA Games Industry Awards 2025 finalist as a Service Provider.[17]
- Game Dev Heroes 2025 finalist.[18]
- Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2025 finalist as Best tools provider.[19][20]
- Playgama launches Green Web Game Jam[21] – gamedevopers event to support emvironmental education of players, backed by UNEP.[22][23]
