Why Do Amusement Arcades Need Specialist Insurance?
Amusement arcades can present
different risks from those
faced by conventional
retail businesses.
Gaming machines, electrical
equipment, high visitor numbers
and extended opening hours
can all affect the insurance
cover required.
A standard commercial insurance
policy may not adequately address
the specific activities or
equipment involved in
operating an arcade.
Specialist insurance can
help address these risks,
subject to the cover,
conditions and exclusions
of the selected policy.
What Does Amusement Arcade Insurance Cover?
Depending on your business
activities and insurer,
amusement arcade insurance
can include several types
of protection.
Public Liability Insurance
Can provide protection
against certain claims
involving accidental injury
to visitors or damage
to third-party property.
Employers’ Liability Insurance
Can cover certain claims
involving employees
who suffer work-related
injury or illness.
Most UK employers are
legally required to hold
employers’ liability insurance,
subject to exemptions.
Arcade Machine Insurance
Cover may be available
for gaming machines,
amusement equipment
and other insured
business assets.
Contents & Stock Insurance
Protection for insured
furniture, fixtures,
fittings, contents
and stock against
specified events.
Buildings Insurance
Insurance for the
premises against
specified risks,
where your business
is responsible for
insuring the building.
Business Interruption Insurance
May provide financial
protection following
certain insured events
that interrupt your
normal trading activities.
Money & Theft Cover
Protection may be
available for insured
cash, theft losses
and related risks,
subject to security
conditions and limits.
Equipment Breakdown
Specialist cover may
be available for
certain breakdown
risks affecting
arcade equipment,
depending on the policy.
Not all covers are automatically
included. Policy terms,
exclusions, excesses and
limits vary between insurers.
Property and Equipment Risks in Amusement Arcades
Amusement arcades often
contain valuable electrical
equipment that can be
expensive to repair
or replace.
Potential risks include
accidental damage, theft,
vandalism, electrical faults
and equipment failure.
Insurers may require
appropriate electrical
inspections, maintenance
arrangements, security
measures and fire
precautions.
It is also important
to consider whether
your policy adequately
reflects the replacement
value of your machines
and other business assets.
Public Liability Risks for Arcade Operators
Amusement arcades can
welcome large numbers
of customers, including
families and children.
Accidents involving
slips, trips, falls
or equipment may result
in claims against
your business.
Maintaining safe
walkways, suitable
lighting, clear exits
and appropriate supervision
can help reduce
these risks.
Public liability
insurance can provide
important protection
against certain
third-party claims,
subject to policy terms.
Employers’ Liability Insurance for Amusement Arcades
Employees working in
amusement arcades may
undertake activities
involving manual handling,
cleaning, customer
supervision and
equipment maintenance.
Potential incidents
include slips and falls,
lifting injuries and
accidents involving
electrical equipment.
Employers’ liability
insurance can help
protect your business
against certain claims
arising from employee
injuries or illness
connected with their work.
