Remote play on real claw machines
Play a real claw machine from your phone and we post the prize you win.
ClawCrest runs a warehouse of real claw machines with cameras that you control live over the internet. Win rates are published for every machine, prizes are licensed merchandise, and wins are packed and shipped to you.
No account. No card. No sales call.
The problem
Collectors want specific plush and figure merchandise and buy it either at inflated resale prices or through blind-box gambling with no skill and no control.
Arcade claw play is genuinely fun but requires a physical arcade, and most people no longer have one nearby.
The skill and the anticipation are the product, and neither is available at home.
Who it is for
Collectors
Anime, plush and trading-card collectors who want specific merchandise without paying inflated resale prices or gambling on blind boxes.
Mobile gamers
Players aged 16 to 34 who enjoy the skill and anticipation of claw play, particularly where physical arcades are scarce.

ClawCrest — cost per prize calculator · 5.0% win rate: 20 plays per prize · Cost per prize at that rate: $20.00 Run it yourself: https://clawcrest.com
Method: plays per prize is one divided by the win rate. Cost per prize = plays per prize x price per play + shipping. Prizes from a budget = plays it buys x the win rate. The results describe many plays at that rate, not what the next few plays will do.
