It's standard for casual portals. There's not a lot of competition in the casual market anymore. If you're making particular kinds of games, you go with BFG or you pretty much cannot make back your investment.

That sort of thing is never a *complete* rule, of course, there are always exceptions, but for the most part that's how it goes. It's a crap rate, but it's the best you can get and even with that crap rate most people will make a lot more money selling through BFG than on their own.

That sort of percentage is absolutely not standard in so-called 'hardcore' portals or appstores, although developers often fear that it might become such eventually.

(As for the original question, I have games on BFG and made decent money with them years ago, but I'm not really doing things with them anymore because I've moved in a slightly different direction.)
