First of all, our games are all non-violent and are free of any language that would be of concern to the most careful of parents and teachers.  When I'm reviewing a game for our sites, I personally play the game all the way through to make sure that it's safe - and, of course, cool and fun.

Some of our games are made "in-house" by Coolmath but, some of our games are created by outside game designers.  Most of these types of games that you'll find on the Web contain all sorts of ads and external links to other game sites.  Unfortunately, most of these other game sites have games that, in my opinon, kids shouldn't be playing.  (They usually have bad ads too.)  Websites can get games like this for free, so that's what most of them do.  What we do, instead, is to contact the game designer to buy a special game license so that we can run their cool games without any ads and external links.  This helps to ensure that your kids and students will not be encouraged to wander off of our sites and end up somewhere you don't want them.

We have also disabled the "high score" functions on all our games to keep users from being able to post screen names that would cause a problem.  We do not allow any automatic game submissions - like many gaming sites do.  So, there is absolutely no user-generated content on any of our websites.

As for our advertising, I personally check each ad before it runs on our sites.  And I'm VERY picky.  If an ad is even remotely questionable, I won't run it.  Yes, we do lose a lot of income this way, but, I am certain that this pays off in the long run with our having happy visitors who keep coming back!
