MarketGames.us is a free, educational platform of virtual stock market games and trading simulators. We help students, beginners and curious investors learn how markets really move — by trading with play money, risk-free, right in the browser.
MarketGames.us is owned and operated by Mustafa Bilgic, an independent publisher who builds free, educational web tools. We are not a brokerage, a trading platform, or a financial firm — and we never handle real money. We're a small independent project with one goal: make learning how the stock market works genuinely fun and completely free.
Every game and tool on this site runs entirely in your browser with simulated prices and play money. There is no sign-up, no download, and no way to win or lose real cash. You start each game with virtual funds — typically $10,000 — and learn by doing: buying, selling, building a portfolio, and watching your decisions play out.
Our prices are not random noise — and they are not real-time market quotes either. Each ticker follows a seeded random-walk model with its own volatility and drift, the same statistical approach used to teach how real price action behaves. That means the market feels realistic and unpredictable, yet is reproducible and fair. Because everything is simulated locally, your portfolio saves to your own device and loads in milliseconds, even offline.
The game prices are simulated, but the concepts we teach are real, and we take getting them right seriously. Our explainers are written in plain English and grounded in authoritative public sources — including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's investor.gov and other reputable financial-education references. When we describe how a market order works, what a dividend is, or how diversification reduces risk, we aim to match how those ideas work in the real world so the skills you build here transfer.
Three things keep MarketGames honest. First, we never touch real money — there is nothing to sell you, no account to fund, and no trades to place on a real exchange. Second, we're transparent about the model: prices are simulated, and we say so on every page. Third, we're clear about limits: a simulator is a fantastic, low-risk way to learn mechanics and emotions, but it cannot replicate every real-world factor like liquidity, taxes or slippage — and we tell you that openly so you can keep practicing with the right expectations.
Educational only — not financial advice. MarketGames is a free educational game. All prices are simulated and do not reflect real markets, and nothing on this site is financial or investment advice. For real investing basics, see the U.S. SEC at investor.gov.
