All Facebook Games Must Use Credits By July 1

Facebook Credits becomes the required currency for all developers on the social network starting July 1.

Facebook Credits becomes a required currency for all developers on the social network starting July 1. That deadline also begins the mandatory 30 percent revenue share with the social network,.


Already, roughly 70 percent of the digital goods transactions on Facebook have involved Credits, with more than 350 applications from 150 developers using the digital currency. This means that revenues from payments will rise 42 percent by the July 1 deadline.

The social network is not requiring developers to use Credits exclusively, but Facebook’s blog post about the July 1 changeover promises incentives for those that make it exclusive.
