[casual_games] Revenue from different portals

[Santiago Burbano]

Thank you James!

Am surprised such information is not available... knowing there is a lot of competition between portals.
Anyhow if there is someone who can shed some light you are welcome to send a private message.

I can be reached at games AT itworks.ec

I am a game developer (rather new) and would like to better distinguish the game portals. For me it is important to know what market share a portal has, since some portals offer exclusives and others won't even take your game if you have had an exclusive with a different portal. Difficult to make a decision without such information...

Thank you!

I assume you are referring to CasualCharts.com.  That will tell you which games are most popular and which types of games.  But it will net tell you which portals are most popular.  
 
I don't think anybody is going to publicly disclose which portal sells the most copies of their game.  They are probably under an NDA that prevents this.  But you may get someone to send you a private message with some guidance.
