}}Miniclip is a free online games website. It was launched in 2001 and is known for having a large and varied collection of games. It is the world's largest privately owned online gaming website.[2] It was started in 2001 by Robert Small and Tihan Presbie (who is no longer with the company) on a budget of £40,000[3] and quickly grew. {{as of|2008}}, the company has been valued at over £900 million, having been profitable for six of its first seven years, with turnovers exceeding £20 million from 2006–2008 alone.[3]

In 2015, Tencent acquired majority stakes of Miniclip SA.[4]

In December 2016, Miniclip crossed 1 billion downloads across its mobile games on iOS, Android and Windows devices, with more than 350 million downloads in the past 12 months.[5]

Mobile games

Miniclip also has many mobile games that are available for iOS, Android, Symbian and Windows Phone, such as 8 Ball Pool, Gravity Guy, Bloons Tower Defense (Currently owned by Ninja Kiwi) , Plague Inc., Berry Rush, Agar.io, Diep.io, among many other app games.

Xbox games for Windows 8

In September 2012, Microsoft announced on Windows team blog dated 31 August 2012 (see also List of Xbox games on Windows) that Miniclip games will be able to distribute their games on the Xbox division of Windows 8. Miniclip games that are supported by Xbox for Windows 8 include Gravity Guy, iStunt 2 and Monster Island. Gravity Guy was released on Windows Store on 29 November 2012. In April 2013, most of the Miniclip games for Windows 8 and Windows Phone were distributed for free for one year.

Xbox One, PC, and PS4

On February 14, 2017, Miniclip released their first ever game which can be played on Xbox One, PC, and PS4, called MX Nitro.[6]

Malicious software issues

On 1 September 2005, the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team issued an advisory concerning Miniclip:

{{quote|The Retro64 / Miniclip CR64 Loader ActiveX control contains a buffer overflow vulnerability. This may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute an arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.... Although the ActiveX control is no longer in use by either retro64.com or miniclip.com, any system that has used certain pages of these web sites in the past (prior to September, 2005) may be vulnerable.[7]}}

In 2006 several security firms reported that some Miniclip users had installed a "miniclipgameloader.dll" which contained the hostile code identified as "Trojan DownLoader 3069".[8] In the same year, another download related to Miniclip installed "High Risk" malware called "Trojan-Downloader.CR64Loader".[9]
