Game Marketing Guidelines
General
On the MiniTon platform, only skill-based games are allowed. Games that rely on luck or casino-style mechanics are prohibited. To ensure that your game is not confused with games of chance and for the benefit of all game developers on our platform, please adhere to the following guidelines.
Marketing and In-Game Copy
Avoid using names or descriptions that suggest the game relies on chance or gambling, such as Blackjack, Poker, Roulette, or Slots.
If MiniTon grants written approval, you can describe your game as a "skill-based game inspired by" a listed game, as long as your copy clearly indicates that it is a skill-based adaptation of the concept.
Please refrain from mentioning anything related to betting, wagering, gambling, luck, chance, or guessing.
Please refrain from using "real money" or "RMG". Instead, we suggest using "real-world prizes" or "real prizes".
It is advisable to refrain from using the term "addictive".
Here are some options to consider: engaging, enticing, captivating, challenging, fun, and absorbing.
Do not use language commonly used by casinos or check cashing establishments such as "ca$h", "get cash fast", or "cash on the spot".
Do not include the MiniTon brand in your app title or subtitle. You may use MiniTon in the description of your ads with the following phrases:
