How ARCAVOTE works
ARCAVOTE is a community-powered directory for browser games, online worlds and private servers. Discover new games, compare community votes and find a game worth playing. Ranking votes and paid promotional placements stay separate.
Discover games and follow the rankings
Browse the Toplist to see games ordered by community voting, or use the Game Directory to explore editorial listings. Search by name and narrow down by genre. Game pages show descriptions, outbound links and, where available, voting and activity statistics.
Directory entries are not automatically participating in the rankings. Their owners can claim them and submit them for review.
Vote fairly, without buying votes
Each game accepts a vote from the same connection or in-game player name only once every 12 hours. The CAPTCHA and cooldown help reduce repeated or automated submissions. Votes determine the ranking; buying Premium promotion does not grant extra votes or points.
The monthly vote ranking resets at 00:00 UTC on the first day of each month. Previous results are recorded for the archive. You can read the full Voting Rules before participating.
Receive a game reward when supported
Some games offer their own rewards for voting. If a reward is offered, the game page explains what the operator provides and may ask for your in-game name or an anonymous player code. After a valid vote, ARCAVOTE sends a signed notification to that game server.
We can show whether the game server accepted the notification, but only the game operator can confirm the final in-game credit. If the notification fails or the reward does not arrive, please contact the game's operator. Never share your game password on ARCAVOTE.
List and manage your game
Game owners can create an account and submit a listing for review. Approved owners can edit game details, add supported images and view vote and outbound-click statistics. They can also configure their own signed reward callback following the Pingback Documentation.
If you find an editorial entry for a game you run, its page includes a claim option. Verification of ownership is required before the listing is transferred.
What paid promotion changes
Boost, Spotlight and Takeover increase how prominently a game is shown. Promotional placements are labelled and do not alter community vote totals, cooldowns or rank calculations. Actual availability and prices are shown before booking.
Transparency, contact and privacy
We use voting limits and hashed connection identifiers to defend the rankings against duplicate votes. The Privacy Policy explains what data is stored, when a game server receives a reward callback and how to contact the operator. For legal and business enquiries, see our Legal Notice.
