Zero Dollar Gamer is always free for readers. Every deal is verified on the store itself before it's posted, so you only hear about games you can actually claim or play right now.
How it works
We verify at the store
Before anything is posted, we check the store page itself to confirm the game is really free and note when the offer ends.
You claim it
Each alert says whether it's free to keep or only free to play for now, links straight to the store, and gives the claim-by date.
