Ya, and I clicked on a game and uBlock stopped and warned me about a tracker

Please note you still can use the site without the need to create an account... But the account unlocks more features like for example special offers: https://www.freetogame.com/giveaways

So this does seem to be the best part of the whole thing. The aggregated, filed, and described collection of games.

I can't use it because "Play now" links lead to server.cpmstar.com ("real-time bidding advertising platform and monetization solution leveraging machine learning and code generation") which is blocked by Blokada - the software/service I trust.

Thanks for replying. I read it but I couldn't find a solution to my problem - "advertising", "monetization", "machine learning" evil standing between me and free games.
Edit: Now I see that some "Play now" links are leading directly to the game's website.

>brings all the best Free-to-Play Games and MMO Games into one place
So a list?
>while rewarding gamers with free premium in-game loot, special offers and exclusive perks
I don't need a list to do that to me.
>by breaking the inflexible concept of digital storefronts
How has this done that?
>You get more value...
Is the value the collection in one place? Or is it the little treats to hand out.
I'm not really sure what this is for. I reckon about 100% of those games require an account first. So this account is just for your "exclusive rewards".
