Frequently Asked Questions

Gamevestor is a unique crowdinvesting platform designed exclusively for the gaming industry. The platform offers a hybrid model where users can:

  • Invest in video game projects for a share of the revenue.
  • Contribute by pre-purchasing items (categorized as a donation).

This creates a unique opportunity to participate in the growth of the gaming industry and share in its potential profits.

Gamevestor is preparing for launch in Q4 2025, after receiving its official EU regulatory approval.

To be the first to know the exact date, we recommend creating your account, subscribing to our newsletter and joining our Discord server.

At launch, investments will be open to EU citizens and companies, according to EU crowdfunding regulations (EU regulation 2020/1503). Contributions (donations) will be open to players worldwide.

Gamevestor works with top legal, payment, and technology partners, all accredited by EU regulators. We are in direct contact with the competent authorities and expect to receive our final approval in the coming weeks.

We stand apart from generalist crowdfunding platforms in several key ways:

  • We focus exclusively on video games: no hardware, no crypto, no unrelated projects.
  • We offer a revenue-sharing model: unlike traditional crowdfunding, our investors can earn a share of a game’s revenues.
  • We filter and vet every project:: each campaign is reviewed by a committee of senior gaming and finance experts before going live.
  • We enforce milestone-based funding: studios receive funds in stages, and if milestones aren’t met, refunds may be triggered for investors & contributors.

Returns depend entirely on the commercial success of each game. As with all early-stage investments, supporting video games carries significant risk, including the potential loss of your entire investment.

Each campaign page will present:

  • the project’s business plan and revenue projections
  • the revenue-sharing structure and investor royalty rates;
  • key risk factors and disclaimers.

This way, you can make an informed decision - always remembering that returns are uncertain and never guaranteed.

Investing in video games is inherently risky and may result in partial or total loss of your investment. While risks cannot be removed, Gamevestor has several measures in place to help reduce them:

  • Filtering & vetting: only a low % of applicants are accepted after due diligence by gaming and finance experts.
  • Structured contracts: nvestments are managed through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) under a publishing-style agreement with the studio.
  • Milestone-based payments: funds are released to studios in stages; if a project fails to meet a milestone, investors may be eligible for partial refunds.
  • Transparency: each campaign page discloses project details, risks, and financial structures so investors can make informed decisions.

Despite these safeguards, always keep in mind that investing involves uncertainty and risk.

Every project goes through a strict selection process led by a committee of senior gaming experts. Our goal is to feature only high-potential, realistic projects that match our community’s expectations.

We focus on studios and games that meet the following criteria:

  • Studio size: small to mid-sized teams.
  • Funding needs: between €100k and €5M.
  • Platforms: releases planned on major gaming platforms (PC & console).
  • Track record & credibility: eams with a proven ability to deliver or strong portfolios.

Due to this rigorous vetting, we only accept a low % of applicants onto the platform.
