Unfortunately not for me. Cloudflare + Google in the site. Have to make an account for "free" games. "score free premium loot, earn ranks, unlock exclusive rewards" uhh.... why gamify the system?

>brings all the best Free-to-Play Games and MMO Games into one place

So a list?

>while rewarding gamers with free premium in-game loot, special offers and exclusive perks

I don't need a list to do that to me.

>by breaking the inflexible concept of digital storefronts

How has this done that?

>You get more value...

Is the value the collection in one place? Or is it the little treats to hand out.

I'm not really sure what this is for. I reckon about 100% of those games require an account first. So this account is just for your "exclusive rewards".




>Unfortunately not for me. Cloudflare + Google in the site. Have to make an account for "free" games.

Ya, and I clicked on a game and uBlock stopped and warned me about a tracker


Please note you still can use the site without the need to create an account... But the account unlocks more features like for example special offers: https://www.freetogame.com/giveaways


So this does seem to be the best part of the whole thing. The aggregated, filed, and described collection of games.


I can't use it because "Play now" links lead to server.cpmstar.com ("real-time bidding advertising platform and monetization solution leveraging machine learning and code generation") which is blocked by Blokada - the software/service I trust.


Please read the FAQ at https://www.freetogame.com/faq


Thanks for replying. I read it but I couldn't find a solution to my problem - "advertising", "monetization", "machine learning" evil standing between me and free games.

Edit: Now I see that some "Play now" links are leading directly to the game's website.
