Bigpoint.com is the biggest game portal in Germany and is among the top 3 gaming portals worldwide.
The company develops and operates browser games – and as a publisher, content provider and developer, we set new standards with each game in terms of technology, gameplay and entertainment fun.
In addition to high quality, Bigpoint offers a successful business model: “free use – voluntary payment”. The basically free use of the game allows players of all ages and income levels to have high-class fun. In the course of the game, the player can purchase virtual goods or get a Premium subscription in order to use additional game features.
As a developer, we have set high quality standards – and as a publisher, we promote online games which meet these standards. With this recipe for success, Bigpoint.com has become the top destination for the best online games; from casual games to complex, long-term multiplayer games.
Founded in 2002, Bigpoint is located in Hamburg and New York and has currently 250 employees. GMT and Peacock Equity, NBC Universal’s capital fund, bought a majority share of Bigpoint in June 2008. Bigpoint was honored for its success with the Red Herring 100 Europe, Eco Internet Award 2009 (best content provider), the Ruban d’Honneur from the European Business Awards 2009 and the OnlineStar awards as the most popular website in Germany.
