Sitelocking

Why would you want to sitelock your site? Here are some quick reasons:

1. Make certain levels only playable on a specific site.

2. Make certain levels NOT playable on a specific site (If you have a grudge, or some marketing reason).

3. Make the entire thing only work on your site (not recomended)

#1 is the most important for most of us because it allows us to make games “sponsored by” a specific site. For example: you could create a game that has 100 levels. And levels 1-5 are available on all sites. However levels 6-100 are only playable on your “sponsored site”. On all other sites, when somone clicks to play levels 6 - 100, it would tell the player “Go to This site to play these levels”
