Network for a Serious Youtuber

Hello guys!

I have two youtube channels currently, both of them are about games. My biggest channel (a little more than 3.300 subs and monthly views never below 30.000 so far) is already partnered with BBTV. I never had trouble with the payments, but I guess the revenue is too small. I live in South America, I know that CPM here is low, but sometimes I think it's too low. My biggest income was $40 last December. I'm not thinking of breaking the contract, I'll go till the end, what I want is an advice about what network to join for my other channel.

On January I created another channel for general gameplays since my biggest channel is about a specific series. The public accepted it very well, I have almost 850 subscribers already and last month I reached 10.000 monthly views and it's still growing. I guess the time to join a network has come and I would like suggestions of networks that will provide me a bigger revenue.

Like you, I'm a serious youtuber. I record and upload at least one video every day and I'm growing. I love it and the best part of my day is when I sit in front of the computer to produce my content. I'd monetize my videos on adsense if my channels weren't about games. I also know that my revenue won't be as good as if I lived in US or Europe. So, any suggestions?
 
Well, my channel is a gaming channel. I guess I'll have some issues if I monetize the videos on adsense, won't I?

Nope.

Whether you're with a network or not, your ability to monetize game content is based on what game developers give permission to do so. Do a quick google search and you'll find a few lists that people have done up with links back to the company policies on everything. Networks have never actually provided a benefit in this regard. It's a myth perpetuated by YouTube gamers.

Avoid cutscenes and turn off in game music to have the most hassle free experience. Unless you're doing indie games.
 
To see what games you can upload without a network go here: (docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AiiBh_qmZzgfdGVXYl9vUkltanRCME8tZXR4TEQyMFE&output=html) Its a pretty long list posted on the Markee Dragon site :)
 
Thank you for the list and for the answers. According to the list that RobertLangdon showed me I can monetize most of the games I'm currently showing on my channel. Some of them I couldn't see there, but I'll manage to find it. Just a question: does youtube still have to approve the videos I activate for monetization? Last time I tried (in 2012 before I join BBTV) they sent me an e-mail saying that I couldn't monetize some videos that just have my voice, even with no soundtrack or cutscenes. I didn't understand why.
 
How old is that list? From what Ive heard youtubers can now monetize Pokemon videos again. Nintendo was taking the income from videos featuring their games but it seems they are letting the revenue go to creators again now. Not fully confirmed, just recent comments that Ive seen online.
 
I can confim that. I have uploaded some Pokémon Crystal videos and they were monetized (not now because i am unpartnered)
