I am new to this site. I was reading the section about submitting your game. I want to know what are all the requirements and regulation need for a successful upload and do I upload Binary code or .exe?

I assume this is what you read, right?

They first review your game based on information you send them. If they accept your game, then you go into the process of sending them your actual game.
As you may have found, the first step is to fill out the form here: http://www.gog.com/indie

I'm sure they'll be happy to provide you with more information. The important thing is that you convince them you're serious about making (or having made) a good game As I understand it, basically there are two ways to getting your game accepted by GOG. Either someone at GOG enjoys playing your game and personally advocates for it or else you have to get a community of fans to show GOG there is a good demand for it.

If you really just want to publish your game easily you need to use Desura or maybe GamersGate. GOG has a pretty high barrier of entry. There's only few releases a week (like two or three, not all of them indie) and each of them comes in a custom installer created by GOG and goes through their own QA etc.. That obviously means that there's a review process and that they are rather picky.

So basicly get someone to play my games and then get their friends to play also. That way the game can build up rep. Thanks for the info

So basicly you are saying that sell them a pitch about the game. If they like it then I go thru next step correct?

Yes, pitch the game to them.
Send them a nice writeup, some screenshots, links to videos if you have them, links to other sites with the game, etc.

Their submission form lays everything out pretty well, I think.
