How It Works
Short version: Browse games and guides on our site, and your clicks help fund a free, local gaming lounge—without charging players at the door.
This Model Already Works
We aren’t inventing anything new. Gaming and tech websites have been built on the same system for years — affiliate links, sponsored actions, and ads. The difference is scale, not the idea itself.
- Smaller sites: Even modest blogs and mid-sized gaming pages can pull in a few thousand dollars a month by mixing game features, affiliate links, and ads.
- Bigger outlets: Well-known gaming media sites apply the same system at scale — publishing articles, reviews, and game lists — and make millions each year because of their size and reach.
- Our approach: We’re following the same path: creating useful content, building pages people return to, and adding games you can actually play here on the site. Every click or action helps fund the lounge without charging local players.
In other words, this isn’t an experiment — it’s a proven online model. The difference is we’re using it to build something local and free.

How This Website Pays the Bills
We use online monetization that doesn’t charge local players:
- Affiliate links: If you click a qualifying link and purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
- Partnered game actions: Some featured games credit our project when certain goals are completed.
- Ads (post-approval): Pageviews and time-on-site help cover recurring costs.
In short: the website scales revenue so the physical lounge can stay free.
