STEAM: GAMES MADE EASY

If you run a cyber café or other gaming venue, Valve makes it easy for you to bring their games to your customers. Joining the Valve Cyber Café Program is the only authorized way to offer Valve games to your customers. When you sign up and become a member of our Cyber Café program, you'll enjoy the following benefits.

WHAT YOU GET

Games, Games Games:

Valve Cyber Café Program subscribers receive access to many of the newly released games on Steam* as long as you maintain an active subscription. For a complete list of games currently available in the program, check out the product list.

Steam for Cafés:

Café owners are given access to a Steam for Cafes online account where they can update their own credit card information, add new café locations to their account, add or remove PCs that have access to the games, edit their Café Directory listing, and update their technical and billing contact email addresses.

 

Steam Account Protection:

Valve's Steam for Cafés Program technology does not use Steam Accounts so Café owners no longer have to worry about banned or stolen accounts.

 

Café Administration Server (CAS):

The Café Administration Server will allow cafés to locally update individual computers on a café's local area network (reducing bandwidth needs for updates), allow individual users with personal Steam accounts to access their account on any computer station located at a cyber café, and manage game subscriptions on a concurrent user basis.

 

Automatic Updates Delivered Via Steam:

All of your game subscriptions will be kept up-to-date with the latest versions using Steam's distribution system. New content, bug fixes, and other items which have traditionally been distributed as "patches" will be handled automatically.

 

Access to Café Technical Support:

Members receive technical support services through Valve's Café Support Site, for Steam and any game-related problems. Members receive technical support services through the Café Support Site, for Steam and any game-related problems.

 

Promotional Materials:

We've got plenty of posters for your walls and windows that we will send your café upon request. Please call to purchase other fun stuff for your café and customers.

 

Free Tournament License:

 Free Tournament License when you hold tournaments at your café - the Tournament License itself is free and gives you the authority to run a tournament. (If you do not have enough café subscriptions to cover your event, temporary tournament subscriptions are available for a small administration fee.)
