Sponsorship

Sponsorship

The Daily Geo is an independent directory of daily geography games. Sponsorship pays for the time spent testing games, checking rules against official sites, and keeping listings current. Every placement below is a one-time payment: there is no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no long-term contract.

All sponsored placements are clearly labelled "Sponsored". They are sold separately from editorial content and do not change which games we list, how we describe them, or how we order recommendations.

Tiers

Priority Review — $9.90 (one-time)

• Your game is reviewed ahead of the general submission queue.
• We check it against the same inclusion criteria as every other submission.
• You receive a written decision with reasons, whether the game is accepted or not.
• Review turnaround target: 3 business days from payment.

Launch Boost — $59 (one-time)

• Everything in Priority Review.
• One labelled "Sponsored" card in the Today module for 7 days.
• A short listing entry with the game name, a one-sentence rule summary, and a link to the official game page.
• A social post announcing the listing from the site account, if the site account is active at the time.

Homepage Feature — $129 (one-time)

• Everything in Priority Review and Launch Boost.
• One labelled "Sponsored" card in the homepage feature slot for 14 days.
• A matching listing entry in the most relevant gameplay section.
• A short editorial-style introduction (facts only, drawn from the official game page) published as part of the sponsored card.

What is included

• Review against the published inclusion criteria.
• The placement described for the purchased tier, in the position and for the duration stated.
• A receipt for the one-time payment.

What is not included

• Placement in editorial rankings or "editor's choice" selections.
• Wording changes to editorial descriptions, reviews or guides.
• Removal of competitors from the directory.
• A promise that a submitted game will be accepted.

No guarantee of inclusion, traffic, rankings, or dofollow links.

Editorial independence

Sponsorship is separated from editorial work:

• Sponsored cards are labelled and visually distinguished from editorial listings.
• Sponsorship does not affect which games are included, the order of editorial sections, rankings, or recommendations.
• A rejected submission is not made acceptable by purchasing a tier. If a game fails the published inclusion criteria, the one-time payment is refunded and no placement is published.
• Editorial guides, comparisons and lists are written without paid input. Sponsors do not review or approve editorial text before publication.

Process

1. Send the game name, official URL and the tier you want to the contact address below.
2. We confirm availability and send a one-time payment link.
3. After payment, we review the game against the inclusion criteria.
4. If the game is accepted, the placement goes live on the agreed date and stays live for the stated duration. If it is rejected, the payment is refunded in full.
5. At the end of the placement period, the sponsored card is removed. The listing entry remains if it still meets the inclusion criteria.

Payment and scheduling

• Payments are one-time and taken in USD.
• Placements start on the next available slot after acceptance; we will confirm the start date in writing.
• Dates are subject to availability. Homepage slots are limited to one sponsored card at a time.
