This page explains how Venko Games handles copyright notices, takedown requests, and third-party hosted content. Venko Games has operated as a free browser-games website since 2021 and is governed by the laws of Spain.
Whether you are a copyright owner, an authorized representative, or a visitor, this document outlines how to submit an infringement notice and how our team reviews and acts upon those submissions.
Our Position on Copyright
Venko Games respects the intellectual property rights of creators and expects game developers and content providers to do the same. When selecting games for the website, we review them based on playability, browser compatibility, usability, and overall player experience. If content available on the site is identified as infringing on a valid copyright, we take steps to address the issue promptly upon receiving a proper notification from the rights holder or their authorized representative.
Third-Party Hosted Games
Many games available on Venko Games are not hosted directly on our servers. Instead, they are embedded in iframes from third-party game providers. When you load and play these embedded titles, your browser connects directly to external servers, meaning those third-party providers receive your IP address and may set their own cookies on your device. We do not control the hosting environments, tracking technologies, or servers of these external providers.
Because these games originate on external platforms, removing an iframe from Venko Games stops the game from appearing on our website, but it does not remove the underlying game files from the third party's server or from other websites linking to it. If you are a copyright owner seeking complete removal of the source files from the internet, you may also need to contact the external host directly.
When we receive a valid notice concerning an embedded title, we review the claim and disable or remove the embed from our site. We select games based on how they run in modern browsers and how they fit our categories, and we act to remove access on our pages whenever an infringement notice meets the necessary standards.
How to Submit a Takedown Notice
If you hold the copyright to a game, artwork, audio track, or other material appearing on Venko Games, or if you represent the copyright owner, you can submit a written takedown notice to our team. Submitting a clear notice allows us to identify the specific content in question, evaluate your claim, and take appropriate measures regarding the material on our site.
To submit a request, send an email to our designated contact address at dmca [at] venkogames [dot] com. This mailbox is monitored by site administrators. We process notices as they arrive, and providing complete details in your initial message prevents delays and avoids extra back-and-forth messages.
Before sending a notice, please ensure that you are the actual copyright holder or have legal authorization to act on their behalf. Submitting inaccurate or bad-faith infringement claims can carry legal consequences under governing laws. Once your message reaches us, our team reviews the provided details, locates the content on our pages, and initiates the takedown procedure if the claim is valid.
What Your Notice Must Include
To allow us to investigate and take action, your written notice must contain specific pieces of information. Incomplete notices may delay our ability to locate the material or verify the claim.
Your notice should include:
1. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, including a description and, if available, a link to the original work.
2. The exact URL or page link on Venko Games where the allegedly infringing material is located, so our administrators can find it directly.
3. Your contact information, including your full name, email address, and phone number or mailing details where we can reach you.
4. A statement confirming that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
6. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
Sending all of these items together in your initial message to dmca [at] venkogames [dot] com ensures we have the necessary facts to proceed without requesting missing elements.
How We Respond
When a complete and valid copyright notice arrives at dmca [at] venkogames [dot] com, our administrators review the details provided. We locate the referenced webpage, check the submitted URLs, and examine the content reported in the notice to understand the nature of the claim.
If the notice meets legal requirements and identifies infringing material, we take steps to disable access or remove the game or asset from Venko Games. Where the game is an embedded iframe served by a third-party provider, removing the embed stops the title from loading for visitors on our platform.
We keep records of takedown notices received through our contact channels. If the content was provided by an external partner or developer and their contact details are known, we may inform them of the action taken and the details of the complaint. If an incoming notice is incomplete or lacks the exact URL on our site, we may reach out to request the missing details before taking final action. Our goal during this process is to ensure that legitimate intellectual property rights are respected.
Counter-Notification
If you believe that content you provided was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to dmca [at] venkogames [dot] com.
Your counter-notification must include your name, email address, and contact details, along with the specific URL where the content was located before it was removed. You must also include a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. Finally, include your physical or electronic signature and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the applicable courts in Spain, where Venko Games is based and governed, agreeing to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.
Repeat Infringers
Venko Games maintains a policy regarding repeated copyright violations. When third-party game providers or contributors repeatedly supply content that is subject to valid infringement notices, we take steps to cease featuring their titles. We review past notices to identify recurring issues and remove access to embeds or content sources that consistently fail to respect intellectual property rights.
