How Flipcade works. From listing to payout, with escrow on every step.
For sellers
The average game sells in 19 days at 2.4 times monthly profit.
-
01
List your game
Fill in the listing form and connect your analytics. Review takes one business day, and listing is free. Add a reserve price if you want a floor on the auction.
-
02
Get verified
We match the revenue in your listing against your ad networks and portal dashboards. Verified listings get a badge and sell for about 30% more.
-
03
Accept a bid or offer
Answer questions from buyers, watch the bids come in, and accept the offer you like. The winner pays into escrow right away.
-
04
Transfer and get paid
Move the source files, domains, and accounts using our checklist, with a specialist on call. When the buyer confirms, escrow releases your money within two business days.
For buyers
Every number on a listing is checked before you bid on it.
-
01
Do your homework
Each listing shows revenue, profit, plays, and traffic sources. Verified figures are matched against connected analytics, and the full reports stay attached to the listing.
-
02
Bid, offer, or buy now
Auctions let the market set the price. Fixed price listings close on acceptance. Ask the seller questions any time before you commit.
-
03
Pay into escrow
Your money goes to Flipcade Escrow, not to the seller. Card, wire, and crypto are accepted. The seller transfers the game only after the funds clear.
-
04
Confirm and take over
Check that the game runs and the accounts are yours, then confirm. If the assets do not match the listing, open a dispute and your money comes back.

Common questions
What kinds of games can be listed?
Any game that runs in the browser: HTML5 canvas games, Phaser, Construct, Godot web exports, Unity WebGL, and multiplayer browser games. The sale includes the source and the accounts that make the game run.
How is escrow different from paying the seller directly?
Direct payment gives the seller everything and the buyer nothing until it is too late. Escrow reverses that: the seller only ships once the money is locked, and the buyer only releases it once the game is theirs.
What happens if a dispute opens?
A specialist reviews the listing, the transfer checklist, and what both sides say. Most disputes close within a week. Money returns to the buyer if the assets do not match the listing.
Can I sell a game that uses licensed assets?
Yes, if the licenses transfer or are wide enough to cover a new owner. List which assets are licensed in the description. The review team checks this before the listing goes live.
Do you support offers below the asking price?
Yes. Buyers can send offers on any listing, and sellers can accept, decline, or counter. The offer expires in 72 hours so listings do not stall.
Start with a game you already have.
It takes about 20 minutes to list one, and the review is free.
