1. Rights and source
A working game file is not proof of permission. A listing needs a recorded open-source license, direct developer permission, ownership record, or authorized distributor agreement for the game and its artwork.

Game standards
The Gaming Monster does not publish every playable file it can find. Public listings need documented distribution rights, clear game information, working delivery details, and the appropriate privacy controls.
A working game file is not proof of permission. A listing needs a recorded open-source license, direct developer permission, ownership record, or authorized distributor agreement for the game and its artwork.
The game needs a clear title, description, developer, category, cover, working delivery URL, and accurate search metadata before it can appear publicly.
Third-party games that use advertising or measurement stay blocked until the relevant consent is available. Provider privacy information is required when that consent gate applies.
Rights concerns, broken games, inaccurate information, or provider removal can take a listing offline. Visitors and rights holders can report issues through the contact or DMCA process.
A game being included does not imply that its developer or publisher sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with The Gaming Monster.
Every public game page identifies its developer, source, and distribution basis. A disclaimer or takedown process does not replace permission. We also respond to complete copyright notices through our DMCA process.
Imported crawl data always starts as a private draft. Developer attribution, a working URL, or availability on another portal is not a substitute for distribution rights. The publication gate applies to self-hosted files, open-source projects, direct permissions, and licensed distribution partners.
To report a broken game, factual error, unsafe experience, or undisclosed conflict, use the contact page and include the exact page URL.
