SBL Games is a free collection of browser games for children, with a few reading and learning sections alongside it. This page answers the questions parents usually ask before letting a child use a games site.
No. Playing does not require an account, an email address or a name. There is an optional local profile used for rewards on this device only, and it stays in the browser — it is not uploaded anywhere. Nothing a child types into a game is sent to us.
We use Google Analytics to count visits — pages viewed, country, device type — so we know which games are worth keeping. Advertising cookies are denied by default and only enabled if a visitor chooses "accept" in the consent banner. We do not run comment sections, chat rooms, or uploads, and there is nowhere on the site for a child to type personal information. The full detail is in the privacy policy and cookie notice.
Display adverts come from Google AdSense. They sit around the game, never inside it, and there is no advert you must watch before playing. Because the audience includes children, ad personalisation is off unless an adult opts in, and we do not run gambling, dating or violent advertising categories.
The collection is chosen for roughly 5 to 12 year olds, with a section of classic games that older children and grandparents can play together. Every game is screened for graphic violence, purchases and chat with strangers before it is listed — the checklist is on the how we review games page.
We do not put timers or nag screens in the games, because we think the limit should belong to the parent rather than to a website. In practice the useful rules are the simple ones: a set number of rounds rather than a set number of minutes, the device staying in a shared room, and a clear end point agreed before the first game starts. Puzzle and learning games are easier to stop at a natural boundary than endless runners, which is worth knowing when you choose what to open.
Games are hosted in a sandboxed frame, so a game cannot read other pages, open windows at will, or ask for your details. If you see a game behaving oddly — a pop-up, a request for personal information, or content that does not belong on a children's site — close the tab and email info@sblinknetwork.com with the page address. We remove first and investigate afterwards.
The learning games and the study section can be used in a classroom without logins or installs. If you need a specific game kept online for a lesson, tell us and we will make sure it is checked before that date.
SBL Games is published by S.B Link Network, a small internet service provider in Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan. It began as a set of learning pages for local schools and grew into a games library. The about page has the longer version, and the editorial policy explains how games are chosen and removed.
