As a developer, you’ll receive exclusive rights to build gaming zone partnerships in your territory—just like a franchise—but without the ongoing royalties and fees. It’s the ultimate win-win: you get the tools and support needed to succeed, and we leave the majority of the profits in your hands.

YOUR OWN

EXCLUSIVE TERRITORY

Lock down a protected territory in your city (around 100,000 people) and be the exclusive developer of Contender Gaming Zones in that area. With the gaming industry exploding, you’ll have first dibs on establishing long-term partnerships with high-traffic retail locations—from hotels and family entertainment centers to shopping malls and schools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build the Gaming Zone PCs in-house?

We use a hybrid approach. Some PCs are built in-house, and others are sourced from third-party partners when they can provide the exact same components at a more economical price. We manage all purchasing and quality control to ensure each system meets our performance standards and provides the best long-term value.

Does the Gaming Zone package include chairs and desks?

The standard Gaming Zone package does not include chairs or desks. However, we offer an optional add-on package for $500 per setup that includes:

 • A professional gaming chair

 • A matching desk

 • Wire management

 • PC lockdown/security hardware

This package ensures each station is fully equipped and secure.

Is my area available, and how big are assigned areas?

Just let us know your city or zip code, and we’ll confirm availability. While most Gaming Zones are placed inside local businesses without exclusive territorial restrictions, we do offer larger area development opportunities for those wanting to scale across multiple locations.

Do you have contracts with game developers, and how do players access games?

Players access games through licensed launchers like Steam, Epic, Riot, and more. They can log in with their personal accounts or use games we provide through our system. While we don’t hold direct contracts with major developers, our model is fully compliant and optimized for commercial use.

How do you ensure the hardware stays current with new game demands?

We monitor game performance trends and update our recommended specs as needed. All systems are built to handle top-tier games for years, and we notify partners when it's time to consider upgrades.

What are the standard specs for the Gaming Zone PCs?

Our current standard specs include:

 • Ryzen 7 5700G processor

 • 16GB RAM

 • NVIDIA GeForce 4060 graphics card

 • 1TB NVMe SSD (with an optional 2TB upgrade)

These specs are designed to run today’s most popular games with ease. Hardware may be updated from time to time to ensure ongoing performance and value.

Can I get a copy of the contract or agreement before I decide?

Yes. Once we’ve had an initial conversation and confirmed your interest, we’re happy to send you a copy of the agreement to review. It outlines all expectations, responsibilities, and what’s included in detail.

Do you require a minimum population size for an area?

No. We do not restrict territories based on population. We’ve launched successful Gaming Zones in both small towns and larger metros. What matters most is your vision and local business opportunities.

Do I own the software if I buy the PCs?

You own the physical computers. The software that powers the Gaming Zone — including game management, time tracking, and reporting — is proprietary and provided as part of your ongoing monthly service. You’ll retain access to the system for as long as you're an active partner.

What are the biggest challenges new partners face, and how do you help?

The two biggest challenges are:

 • Keeping technology updated — We solve this by managing 100% of updates remotely after hours, so business owners never have to worry about it.

 • Marketing the Gaming Zone — We provide free, customized marketing designs that can be ordered through our website. Everything is tailored to your business and ready to use.
