The Venue Pack
A Claw Machine That Pays Rent From Your Quietest Corner
Everything you need to decide, on one page. We place, stock and service a fun duck-grabber claw machine in your venue at no cost to you — and pay you a monthly share of every play. You provide a corner and a plug; we do the rest.
What you actually earn
Your profit from one machine, per year
That's a realistic, achievable figure for a quieter spot — not a promise. Busier venues earn more; see the range below. Results vary by location.
| Your share | A genuine 50/50 split of net profit — after prize costs, card fees and running costs — paid monthly by bank transfer. |
|---|---|
| Typical monthly range | £15–£90 per machine per month, depending on venue type and footfall. |
| At your busiest | Up to ~£90 / machine / month. |
| Cost to you | £0. No rent, no lease, no stock, no staff time. |
| Your effort | About two minutes a week — a quick spray and wipe-down to keep it clean. |
It's a genuine 50/50 split, but on profit, not revenue. We cover every cost first — prizes, card fees, running costs — then split whatever's left straight down the middle. We also carry 100% of the risk for that same half: the machine, the stock, the software and the repairs are all on us. It costs you nothing to earn your share.
The guarantee
Try it for 90 days. If you want it gone, for any reason, we remove it within 14 days and you keep 100% of what it made — including our share. No tie-in, no awkward conversation. The downside is ours. Not yours.
Want more certainty from day one? Smaller and independent venues can ask us for a minimum earnings floor in writing when they apply — as an example, a guaranteed £60 payout even if an agreed placement takes under £200 in its first 60 days. Ask when you apply.
Straight talk
- It won't make you rich. It turns a dead corner into a small, reliable monthly cheque — nothing more, nothing less.
- It only works with the right footfall. If there isn't a steady flow of people past your corner — families, teens, adults, everyone plays — we'll tell you honestly it isn't a fit — an idle machine costs us too.
- We're selective on purpose. This is an application, not an order form.

The first machine went into ALS Bubble Tea in Sheffield — I still remember the owner's daughter winning seven toys while the whole team watched. I still place, restock and fix every machine myself, which is why when something needs sorting, you're talking to the person who can actually sort it.
