Yes. We offer a range of branding options including custom vinyl wraps, branded backboards, logo panels and bespoke leaderboard signage. These upgrades are perfect for exhibitions and promotional events.
3. How much space do we need for the machine?
The machine typically requires around 2m x 1m of floor space, with a little extra room for the players. It fits easily on most UK exhibition stands and event layouts.
4. Do you deliver to all UK locations?
Yes. We provide nationwide delivery including London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Newcastle and all surrounding areas. No venue is too far.
5. Is the game easy for guests to play?
Very easy. Players simply aim to score as many baskets as possible within the timer. No skill is needed — the game is accessible and fun for all ages, making it ideal for mixed audiences.
6. Does the basketball machine require power?
Yes. It needs a standard 13-amp plug socket, which is available in all exhibition halls and event venues. If you're unsure about power supply, we’ll help plan the best setup.
7. Can we use the basketball game for competitions or giveaways?
Definitely. Popular formats include highest score of the day, team challenges, timed contests, prize giveaways and branded leaderboard competitions. These formats help boost engagement and lead-generation.

10. Are electronic basketball machines suitable for outdoor events?
They can be used outdoors if sheltered (e.g., under a marquee or covered structure). Indoor use is ideal, but outdoor events work with appropriate weather protection.

Basketball arcade machines are extremely popular during exhibition seasons and peak event months. We recommend booking early, but we can often support last-minute hires if stock is available.
