We thought long and hard about the best way to structure Numboodles. Obviously we need to support the site, support ourselves when we create new games and content while providing an affordable and accessible service to parents of young learners.
We decided to offer free access to all of the games on the site but support this with advertisements. This means that anyone, anywhere at any time can access the games on our site 100% for free – and we will receive revenue from adverts which are shown on our site.
However, we also know that some people will prefer an ad free environment and would prefer to support us directly which is why we have a Supporters Club where you can experience all of the games with no advertisements.
We believe this is a great compromise – and hope you do to.
