I´m quite sure that some of you might wonder what all this donation talk is all about. Well, the fact is this. We work quite a lot with The Gaming Ground (it´s a 24/7 job).
And that includes everything from writing articles, doing interviews, making videos, code/design, IT security to giveaways. And that takes time to do. And we have reached to a point where things have started to cost money as well. So we really need your help to survive and to advance to the next level.
How to support us?
– Unblock us from your Ad blocking software, as Google pays us badly enough as it already is…
– Visit and read our posts daily, and watch our Youtube and Twitch streams (or videos)
– You can buy stuff from us via our shop (Ebay, Tradera and our own shop)
– Donate to us via SubscribeStar, Paypal or Patreon:
– Support us by buying games and products via Play-Asia (“THEGG” = 3 USD off on your order), Kinguin (“theggnet” = 3% discount code!), GOG.com and E-Win Racing =) (“THEGG” = 15% discount code!) You could also buy items from us via our Ebay shop
– Follow us and spread the word out about us via Facebook, Twitter and G+:
Down below you will find a couple of TGG banners which you can use when you want to link back to us at thegg.net (If you want to do a banner swap with us.
Then we will just change banners without no fuzz). And If you want a banner to be in a specific size, then don’t hesitate to contact us!
We will then try to fix the right dimensions for you as soon as possible! For it is not always that the banner dimensions will correspond with what you want done on your own homepage. However, since we are a really nice bunch of people here at TGG.
And there is nothing that we can´t fix. So don´t worry about It! And If you want the banners to be in a different picture format.
Then we can fix that as well. So If you want something specific done (for example, a flash banner). Then just mail us the info, instructions and what you want to have done (please tell us where, and what the banner will be used for). So we are open for suggestions=)
Anyhow, you will find four different TGG banners further down the page (They are in png, pr jpg format). And you can use these banners as you like (within reasonable limits, of course).

A big thanks in advance to everyone!
