You, saying what your café does best.
Not a rule, just a shape that works. Please keep customers’ details off the screen, and no children on camera.
We pick three. You pick the one.
Two stages, and no random element in either of them.
We shortlist three
Every reel is scored against these three weights, published before entries open and never changed after.
Nothing else counts. Not your views, not your likes, not your follower count, not which plan you are on, not what you have paid.
The public votes
A poll on our Instagram Story, once a day for 5 days. One vote per person per day. Every day’s result is published, and the highest total across the 5 days wins.
Finalists: campaign for it
This is a public vote and we would rather say so plainly. If you are shortlisted, share it, post it, and ask your regulars to vote for you. Rallying your community is part of how this is won, and nobody is going to pretend otherwise afterwards.
If two finalists finish level, Respawna decides between them and publishes the reason. There is no coin toss, no draw and no random element anywhere in this competition.
Any gaming café in India running Respawna Pro.
On a subscription of six months or twelve months, bought on or before Monday 9 November 2026. Six and twelve are treated exactly alike. Not on it yet? Pro and what it costs are on the pricing page, and everything the software does is on the features page.
Not open to cafés in Tamil Nadu or West Bengal
Those states regulate prize schemes in a way this competition cannot safely sit inside, so we have left them out rather than run it badly. Nothing about a Tamil Nadu or West Bengal café’s subscription changes, and we would rather say this plainly than bury it.
One entry per café, and the café must be a real, operating venue. Respawna, its staff and their immediate families cannot enter.
From here downTerms and Conditions
The full rules, and they are the contract. Dull on purpose. If anything above and anything in here ever disagree, what is in here is what governs.
How this competition works, in plain terms
Entry is open to gaming cafés already subscribed to Respawna Pro. There is nothing extra to buy and no entry fee. Pro costs exactly what it cost before this competition existed · ₹599 a month, ₹3,234 for six months, ₹5,748 for twelve. No part of the prize is recovered through your subscription price.
Respawna shortlists three entries against the three published criteria and their published weights. The winner is then chosen by an open public vote between those three. There is no draw, no lot and no random element at any stage, including the tie break. Every day’s vote total is published.
One prize is awarded. It is awarded to a real winner on the announced date, and delivered within seven days. There is no cash alternative and it is not transferable.
Your subscription is for the software. It is not a payment for a chance at a prize, and cancelling or not entering changes nothing about what you have bought.
If you are unhappy with how this competition has been run, write to our Grievance Officer at grievance@respawna.com. We acknowledge within 24 hours and resolve within 15 days.

The vote
- Where. A poll sticker on the Respawna Instagram Story, posted once a day on each of the 5 voting days.
- One vote per person per day. The same for everyone, and it rewards sustained support rather than one push.
- Every day’s result is screenshotted and published, with a running total, so the count can be followed as it happens.
- The highest total across the 5 days wins. If two finalists are level, Respawna decides and publishes the reason.
- Finalists may and should campaign. Asking your followers and your customers to vote is expected, not discouraged.
- We will discount votes we believe were bought or automated, and say so publicly if we do.
Your reel
- It has to be yours, shot at your venue, showing your own floor running on Respawna. Not stock, not generated, not another café’s floor. We will disqualify entries that are not what they claim to be.
- Your reel stays yours. Entering gives us permission to reshare it, and to publish your café’s name, in connection with this competition. Nothing else, and nowhere else.
- No children on camera. If anyone is identifiable in your reel, you confirm you have their permission. If you would rather not deal with that, shoot your floor before opening.
- Keep your customers’ details off the screen. Their names, numbers and balances are theirs, not content.
- Deleting your reel withdraws your entry. The reel is the entry, so it has to still be there when we shortlist on 11 November.
The prize, in full
One copy of Grand Theft Auto VI, Standard Edition, delivered as a PlayStation Store voucher. Not the Ultimate Edition and not any other edition. One prize, one winner, no cash alternative, not transferable.
The voucher is sent to the winner on 19 November 2026, the day the game releases.
If the voucher becomes unavailable for any reason outside our control, we will substitute a prize of equal or greater value.
The prize may be taxable in your hands as a benefit received in the course of your business. We do not deduct tax at source on it. Take your own advice.
If you are still on a trial when you subscribe
Paying early will not cost you days you already hold. If you subscribe before your trial ends, your six or twelve months are counted from the day your trial would have run out, not from the day you pay. It happens automatically at checkout. You do not have to ask, and you will not lose the remainder of your trial by subscribing in time to enter.
Your venue
By entering you confirm your café holds the licences it needs to operate and observes age ratings on your floor. Grand Theft Auto VI is rated for adults. How you run your floor is your decision and your responsibility, not ours.
If we have to change or stop this
If running this competition becomes unlawful or impracticable, we may change or withdraw it. We will say so publicly, and entries already received will be returned unjudged. We will not change the criteria after entries open.
The rest of it
- Nothing about your subscription price changes because of this competition. Pro is the same price this week as it was last week, ₹599 a month.
- This promotion is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with, Instagram or Meta. By entering you release them from any claim in connection with it.
- Governed by Indian law. the courts at Aluva, Ernakulam, Kerala have jurisdiction.
