How much money can you make from a game

Where the money from a game comes from

Income from sales for Aspis

Aspis is the currency of iDos Games: on the website one Aspis costs $0.008. Players spend it in your game on items, VIP passes, limited offers and anything else you sell in the store. Every sale brings you income in earned Aspis. Each purchase is confirmed by the player on idosgames.com, so a game cannot spend someone's Aspis by itself.

Example: a player spends 1,000 Aspis ($8) on a starter pack. That sale brings you income in earned Aspis.

Income from rewarded ads in the app

In the iDos Games mobile app your game can offer "watch an ad for a reward". The app shows the video, the server grants the reward, and each view brings you income in earned Aspis. Players who never pay still bring income. The web version shows no ads. How it works: rewarded ads.

Your own token: trading fees

You can launch a token for your game on BNB Chain, Base or Solana. Players trade it right on the game page, and part of the fee on every trade goes to you. These earnings are withdrawn to the wallet confirmed in your account. How to start: launching a token.

Paid remixes

Anyone can make a remix of a game: a copy in their own project to build on. If you set a license price, you are paid for every remix, and when remixes of your game sell a remix of their own, part of that keeps coming back to you.

How to estimate your income

For sales the formula is simple:

monthly players × share who pay × average Aspis spent = Aspis spent in your game

For example: 2,000 players a month, 3% of them pay, on average 500 Aspis each. That is 30,000 Aspis spent, $240 at the website price of Aspis, and your income comes from these sales. These inputs are an example, put your own numbers in. Ad income adds to it and depends on how often players watch and on the ad network prices of their country.

The same formula for a small first game: 300 players a month, 2% pay, 300 Aspis each. That is 1,800 Aspis spent, about $14 of sales. Small numbers are normal for a first release; what matters is whether they grow from month to month.

Two numbers in the formula matter more than the rest. The share who pay rarely grows by itself: it grows when the first purchase is cheap and obviously worth it. The number of players grows when they come back: a game people open once earns once.

How much game creators really earn

The board below is live, from the leaderboard: it is rebuilt once a day from the platform's records and the blockchain.

On 7 November 2026 the top creator had earned about $100 in total, and all 96 creators on the board about $276 together. These are the first months of the platform, and the board shows them as they are.

What decides how much a game earns

• Players who return. Daily rewards, quests and a season give a reason to open the game again tomorrow.
• Something worth buying. Skins, time savers and a starter pack sell; pay-to-win drives players away.
• The app audience. Rewarded ads only run in the iDos Games mobile app, so a game that works well on a phone earns from players who never pay.
• A community. A token pays from trading, and trading needs people who believe in the game.

Mistakes that keep income at zero

• Selling before the game is fun. Offers on the first screen make people leave.
• No reason to come back. Without daily goals, players finish once and forget the game by the weekend.
• One expensive pack. The first purchase should be small; big packs come after players trust the game.

How to track your income

In the dashboard every game has analytics: purchases, ads and the tutorial funnel, that is, the step where newcomers drop the game. Look at them once a week, not every hour. If purchases go up after a new offer while players come back less often the next day, you are taking money from next month. If newcomers leave in large numbers at one tutorial step, fix that step first: no store sells to someone who has already left. Token trading income is on the earnings page, for all networks at once.

How to start earning

1. Make the game. Describe the idea in a sentence, and the AI coder builds it: how to make a game with AI.
2. Add a store with prices in Aspis. Ask the AI coder "Add a shop", then set prices in the dashboard.
3. Add a rewarded placement for the app: "watch an ad to continue" is the classic one.
4. Publish and bring players. The game gets its own link and a page in the iDos Games catalog.
5. Launch a token when your players want to share in the game's success.
