Review criteria
What is checked before publication
A game submitted to the public catalogue is reviewed before it goes in. Here is exactly what we check — so you know before you build, not after a refusal.
Review turnaround
The clock starts when you submit, and is counted in working days.
- Discovery within 10 working days
- Pro within 5 working days
- Organisation within 2 working days
Your plan determines how long we take to review your game and how much help we give you to fix it. It changes nothing about the decision: the criteria are the same for everyone, and they are published.
Automated checks
These rules are verified by the platform. You can see which ones are still unmet at any time from your game's page.
