Frequently Asked Questions

MGM and membership

What is Mobile Game Market?

MGM is a discovery and evaluation platform that connects mobile game developers with players. Players try games and share their experiences, while developers can use this feedback to improve their games.

Is MGM free to join?

Yes. Membership is free. MGM does not charge players to take part in community evaluations or developers to submit games.

A game's store price, in-app purchases, and any internet or mobile data charges are separate from MGM membership.

What is the difference between player and developer accounts?

A player account is for evaluating games and contributing to the community.

A developer/publisher account is for submitting games you are authorized to represent, following feedback, and evaluating players' contributions.

Do I need an identity document to register?

No. We do not request an identity document or government-issued identification number during registration. You can register using your email address.

Depending on the features you use, you may be asked for additional information, such as a username, profile preferences, or developer details. Use a valid email address that you can access for sign-in and account-related communications.

Is there a minimum age for membership?

You must be at least 16 years old to register. The age and account eligibility requirements in our Terms of Use apply.

Future rewarded tests may have additional age, country, device, and other eligibility requirements.

Discovering and evaluating games

Do I download games from MGM?

MGM helps you discover games and directs you to their Google Play or App Store pages. You do not download game files from MGM.

The relevant store's and developer's terms apply when you download and use a game.

How do I evaluate a game?

After downloading a game through its official store link and playing it, you can complete the evaluation fields on MGM.

You can rate gameplay, graphics, controls, and other aspects listed in the form. You can also write about your experience, report bugs, and share suggestions.

Do I need to play a game before evaluating it?

Yes. Evaluations must reflect your own actual experience.

Submitting an evaluation without playing the game, copying content, or posting the same text for different games just to earn points does not count as a valid contribution.

Is written feedback required?

Written feedback is optional in general game evaluations. However, an explanation helps the developer understand the reasons behind your ratings.

Future special or rewarded tests may include questions that must be answered. These tasks will be explained before you participate.

Can I leave a negative evaluation?

Yes. You do not have to give a game a high rating.

Explaining bugs and weaknesses with specific examples helps the developer improve the game. Concrete, constructive feedback is more useful than praise alone.

Focus your criticism on the game and your experience. Insults, threats, personal attacks, and false claims are not acceptable.

How can I write a useful evaluation?

Explain what you tried, what you expected, and what happened.

For example, instead of writing "The controls are bad," you could say, "In the second level, the character sometimes did not respond when I swiped right. The same problem happened in three attempts." This gives the developer more useful information.

When reporting a bug, include your device, the game version if available, and the steps needed to reproduce the issue. Do not share personal information.

Are community comments and game evaluations the same thing?

No. Community comments are for discussing a game and asking questions. They are separate from evaluations submitted through the rating form.

Community comments do not affect a game's evaluation average and do not earn MGM points on their own.

Games that complete their first evaluation round are listed as community tested. Their pages remain open for comments, so players can continue sharing opinions and questions.

MGM points and the leaderboard

How do I earn MGM points?
Activity MGM points earned Limit / condition
Evaluating a game +10 Up to 10 different games per week
First login of the day +1 Once per day
A new member registers through your invitation +5 Up to 20 people
A developer marks your evaluation as useful +10 Once per evaluation; no weekly limit
A developer recommends you or adds you to favorites +10 Once per developer–player pair; no weekly limit
Can I evaluate more than 10 games per week?

Yes. You can evaluate more games, but the +10 points for evaluating a game are awarded for up to 10 different games per week.

Evaluations beyond this limit can still earn usefulness points if a developer marks them as useful. Developer recommendations and favorites remain subject to the rules shown in the table.

When do I earn points for inviting a friend?

You earn +5 MGM points when a new member registers through your invitation. You can earn invitation points for up to 20 people.

Additional accounts you create yourself, automated registrations, and fake memberships created to earn points do not count as valid invitations.

Do I earn points twice if a developer both recommends me and adds me to favorites?

No. Recommending a player and adding them to favorites are separate actions, but they are counted together for points within the same developer–player relationship.

You can earn +10 points when a developer recommends you or adds you to favorites. If the same developer also takes the other action, you do not receive another +10 points.

Are MGM points calculated differently for free and rewarded tests?

MGM does not use separate point types for free and rewarded tests.

When rewarded tests launch, the monetary reward for a test will be separate from MGM points. Reward conditions will be explained for each test.

Do MGM points have monetary value?

No. MGM points measure contributions and ranking on the platform.

They are not money, gift cards, or a withdrawable balance. Reaching a particular MGM point total does not automatically entitle you to monetary rewards or test invitations.

How are player ranks determined?
MGM points Rank
0–99 Player
100–499 Candidate Tester
500–1,499 MGM Tester
1,500 and above Elite Tester

Ranks reflect your contribution level within MGM. They are not professional certifications, job offers, or guarantees of a particular number of test invitations.

How is the usefulness rate calculated?

The usefulness rate is calculated only from evaluations that developers have explicitly rated:

Number of useful evaluations ÷ (Useful + Neutral + Not useful evaluations) × 100

Evaluations that have not yet received a developer response are excluded.

For example, if you have submitted 100 evaluations and:

  • 30 have been marked useful,
  • 6 have been marked neutral,
  • 4 have been marked not useful,
  • 60 have not yet received a developer response,

your usefulness rate is 75% · 30/40.

Do I lose points if a developer selects "Neutral" or "Not useful"?

These selections do not result in an additional MGM point deduction. They are included in the calculation of your usefulness rate.

A "Useful" rating earns the +10 points shown in the points table.

What does the developer recommendation count mean?

It shows the number of different developers who have recommended you or added you to their favorites.

A developer who has taken both actions is counted only once. This indicator is a count, not a percentage based on the number of games you have evaluated.

For example, if 7 developers have recommended you, 3 have added you to favorites, and 2 have done both:

7 + 3 − 2 = 8 different developers

Your developer recommendation count on the leaderboard is 8.

Is adding a player to favorites the same as recommending them to other developers?

No.

"Recommend" means the developer recommends the player to other developers.

"Add to favorites" means the developer adds the player to their own list to follow or potentially work with again.

These actions can be used separately. However, the same developer is counted only once when calculating MGM points and the developer recommendation count.

What should I do if I think my points or usefulness rate are incorrect?

Send your username and a link to the relevant evaluation or activity through our Contact page. If available, include the date and a screenshot showing the issue.

Developers and game visibility

Is submitting a game free?

Yes. You can submit a mobile game you are authorized to represent for inclusion on MGM free of charge.

Submitted games may be reviewed for accuracy, rights ownership, and compliance with platform rules.

MGM accepts games that fit its evaluation criteria and platform focus. Submitting a game does not guarantee publication. Subject to any legally required notices, submissions may be declined without a detailed explanation.

We prioritize recently released games from independent developers, publishers, and small studios.

How does my game complete its first evaluation round?

The first round is completed when the game receives valid evaluations from at least five different players.

The time required depends on player participation. Neither completion within a particular timeframe nor a particular evaluation score is guaranteed.

What does Community Tested mean?

It means a game has received at least five valid player evaluations in its first round.

This label is not a quality award or technical certification that the game is bug-free. The game can continue to be discovered and receive community comments after the first round.

How are MGM Picks selected?

MGM Picks is an editorial selection informed by player feedback and MGM's own review.

A game with an evaluation score of 4.0 or higher does not automatically become an MGM Pick.

Are all evaluation results published on the game page?

Results from completed test rounds with scores of 4.0 or higher are displayed on the game page. Lower-scoring results can be viewed by the developer in their dashboard.

The results visible on a game page should therefore not be treated as a complete list of all completed test rounds.

How can I give feedback on a player's evaluation as a developer?

For the question "Did you find this evaluation useful?", you can select one of the following:

  • Useful
  • Neutral
  • Not useful

You can also select "Yes, I recommend this player" in response to "Would you recommend this player to other developers?"

To add the player to your own list, you can separately select "Add to favorites."

When assessing usefulness, focus on the clarity of the feedback and its value for improving your game, rather than how highly the player rated it. Also consider the number and importance of the bugs identified and how clearly they were reported.

Does MGM create my promotional video?

No. You prepare and submit a vertical promotional video of up to one minute.

Suitable videos may be shared on MGM's social media accounts free of charge, according to our publishing schedule. You must have the necessary rights to the video, music, and other content.

A specific publication date, number of views, or number of downloads is not guaranteed.

Upcoming rewarded tests

Have rewarded tests launched?

No. Rewarded tests will be introduced later. The launch date and detailed conditions will be announced separately.

What is the planned reward amount?

The planned standard model offers US$1 per participant for each test that meets the participation and completion requirements.

Each rewarded test is expected to have at least 10 participants. This does not mean that an individual player must complete 10 tests.

How will rewards be distributed?

Rewards are planned to be distributed through Tremendous.

Available reward options may vary by country, reward amount, and provider conditions. The same options may not be available in every country, and redemption through a particular cash payout method is not guaranteed.

Since rewards are planned to be delivered via email, we recommend registering with a valid email address that you actively use and can access.

When will I learn the conditions for rewarded tests?

They will be explained before the service launches and before you are asked to join a test.

This information will cover eligibility, required tasks, deadlines, completion and acceptance criteria, who sends the reward, distribution timing, and how to seek help if there is a problem.

Does joining MGM or increasing my MGM points guarantee rewards?

No. Membership, MGM points, and player ranks do not create an entitlement to rewards on their own.

Earning a reward will depend on meeting the test's eligibility requirements, being accepted to participate, and completing the tasks explained in advance.

Accounts, security, and privacy

Is my email address public?

Your email address is not displayed as public profile or leaderboard information.

If contact information needs to be shared to provide a specific service, we will explain who will receive it and why before the relevant activity takes place.

Does MGM use advertising or tracking cookies?

MGM does not use cookies for advertising, behavioral tracking, or visitor analytics. We use the session technology necessary to recognize that you are signed in and maintain your membership session.

This technical use supports membership functionality; it is not used to create advertising profiles.

How do I close my account?

You can request account closure through our Contact page or by emailing info@mobilegamemarket.com.

We may need to verify that the request comes from you. Closing your account ends your account access; it does not automatically delete every record in the database.

You can submit requests concerning your personal data separately. See our Privacy Policy for more information.

What should I do if I see spam, fake evaluations, or inappropriate content?

Send the relevant page link and the reason for your report through our Contact page.

Evaluations that do not reflect real experience, attempts to earn points through fake accounts, threats, harassment, and infringements of others' rights violate our platform rules.
