Fair play, for everyone

HOW THE RANKINGS WORK

Every game on TopRankinGames is ranked by its players’ votes, and nothing else. Here is exactly how it works.

Players decide the order

TopRankinGames ranks online games by one thing only: votes from their players. Every vote counts the same, and nobody can pay to move a game up. Sponsored spots are always labelled and never change a game's rank or its votes.

Who can vote, and how often

Anyone can vote, for free and without an account. Each person can vote for each game once every 12 hours. You can vote for as many different games as you like.

A new race every month

The rankings count the votes of the current calendar month and start again from zero at midnight (UK time) on the 1st. The game with the most votes at the end of the month is crowned champion and gets a permanent plaque in the Hall of Fame. If two games tie, the one that reached the final count first wins.

How we keep it fair

Every vote passes a Cloudflare check that stops bots. We look for votes from data centres and VPNs, one browser voting from many networks, sudden bursts and other signs of vote farming. Suspicious votes are flagged for our team, and votes found to be fake are removed. Games caught cheating can be disqualified and lose a crown.

How a game gets listed

Game owners create a free account, add their game with a description and at least one screenshot, and we check it before it goes live. Each owner can list up to 5 games. Owners can add a vote button to their site and, if they like, reward players for voting.

Frequently asked questions

How are games ranked on TopRankinGames?

Only by player votes in the current month. The game with the most votes is first. Payments, ads and badges never change a game's position.

How often can I vote?

Once every 12 hours for each game. Voting is free and you don't need an account.

When do the rankings reset?

At midnight UK time on the 1st of every month. Last month's winner is crowned and added to the Hall of Fame.

Can a game pay to rank higher?

No. Owners can buy labelled ads or an optional verified-owner badge, but neither changes votes or rank.

How do you stop vote cheating?

A Cloudflare check blocks bots, and automatic checks flag votes from VPNs, data centres, vote farms and browsers that hop between networks. Our team reviews flagged votes and removes fake ones. Cheating games can be disqualified.

Do games reward players for voting?

Some do. A game can give in-game rewards when you vote through its own vote link. Forcing players to vote to keep playing is not allowed.

How do I add my game?

Create a free owner account, add your game with at least one screenshot, and we review it before it goes live. Listing is free.

What is the Hall of Fame?

A permanent record of every monthly champion, with the votes it won with. It also keeps the winners from the original TopRankinGames site.
