Answers about sponsoring a claw machine

Quick answers about how a sponsorship runs. If you still need a hand, email us and we will take it from there.

FAQ

When will my machine go live?

The day after you book. We use that day to get the machine ready for you: swapping in your ball colours, loading your artwork onto the cabinet screen and giving everything a once-over before players see it. If anything about the artwork needs a tweak, that is when we will drop you a line.

Which machine will I get?

Whichever one is free for your run. We set it aside for you the moment you pay and hold it for the whole time, so nobody else can sponsor it and it will not be hired out for an event while you have it.

How long does my sponsorship actually last?

Until your free plays are gone or your month is up, whichever comes first. So if players take all 250 plays in a fortnight, that is your run finished; if they only take half, your branding still stays on the machine for the full month and then comes off. Either way you get every play you paid for.

What happens when my free plays run out?

That is your run complete. Your branding comes off the cabinet and the machine goes back on the market. You will see it coming on your dashboard, which counts the plays down as they are given away, so it will not catch you by surprise.

Will I get to see who played my machine?

Only as totals, and that is deliberate. Your dashboard shows free plays given, people who opened your machine and clicks on your link. We do not share anything about individual players with anyone, and that includes you.

Can I swap my logo or link partway through?

Of course. Drop us a line at hello@clawcatcher.com with what you would like changed and we will sort it. Anything new goes through the same quick artwork check before it appears.

Can I sponsor for longer than three months?

Yes, though we arrange those over email rather than through the builder so we can talk through which machine and when. The self-serve runs start at £50 for 250 plays.

Everything was booked when I tried to pay. What now?

Nothing was charged, and we have kept hold of your details. We will get in touch the moment a machine frees up so you can grab it.

Something does not look right with my sponsorship.

Email support@clawcatcher.com with your sponsor name and what you are seeing and we will take a look. If your branding is not showing on a machine you have paid for, say so in the subject line and we will jump on it.

Hiring a machine for your own event is a different product. See the hire help page for that.
