Among the 16 Istanbul gaming rounds shown, the largest disclosed amount is Dream Games’ $1.3B on 2025-05-01, which dwarfs the next-largest disclosed figures in the table (Bigger Games at $25M on 2025-06-16; Good Job Games at $15M on 2025-02-12; Ace Games at $25M on 2022-11-20).

Rounds span 2021-09-09 through 2025-06-19, with the most recent entry being Mavis Games’ $2M Seed round on 2025-06-19 (with Bigger Games just three days earlier at $25M).

Frequently asked
What is the biggest disclosed round in these Istanbul gaming deals, and how does it compare to the rest of the disclosed amounts?
Dream Games’ $1.3B (2025-05-01) is a clear outlier; the next-largest disclosed amounts are $25M for Bigger Games (2025-06-16) and Ace Games (2022-11-20), with $15M for Good Job Games (2025-02-12) below that.
Do the 16 rounds cluster into a specific time window?
Yes. Nine of the 16 entries are dated between 2023-01-24 (Ratic, Pre-Seed, undisclosed) and 2023-09-04 (One Percent, Pre-Seed, undisclosed), making 2023 the densest window in this slice.
How often is round stage or deal size left unspecified in this list?
“Series Unknown” appears 5 times (Dream Games 2025-05-01; Good Job Games 2025-02-12; Fiber Games 2024-10-15; Ace Games 2022-11-20; plus another Series Unknown row among the 16), and “undisclosed” deal amounts also appear 5 times (Fiber Games, Mixer, One Percent, Ratic, XoX Games).
Which stages dominate among rounds with disclosed amounts, and what does that imply for deal targeting?
Seed rounds with disclosed amounts show up repeatedly, including Mavis Games ($2M, 2025-06-19), Bigger Games is Series A ($25M, 2025-06-16), and multiple Seed entries in 2023 (Gleam Games $1M on 2023-04-05; Passion Punch $4M on 2023-03-20; Gulliver's Games $700K on 2021-09-09). This suggests frequent early-stage financing visibility even when some entries are undisclosed or labeled Series Unknown.
Which entries are closest to the top of the date range shown, and are there any same-period concentration signals?
Within roughly a 100-day span of the top of the table, there are multiple large disclosed rounds: Mavis Games ($2M, 2025-06-19) and Bigger Games ($25M, 2025-06-16) in mid-June, plus Good Job Games ($15M, 2025-02-12) and Dream Games ($1.3B, 2025-05-01).
Are there smaller disclosed rounds that act as low-end anchors compared with the rest?
Yes. The smallest disclosed amount is Lumier Games at $50K on 2023-05-22 (Seed), which sits far below other disclosed entries such as Gleam Games ($1M on 2023-04-05) and Fortune Mine Games ($2M on 2023-07-17).
