Virgin Media has launched a promotional campaign in Ireland offering one individual the chance to be paid to play Grand Theft Auto VI. The contest requires participants to submit a written explanation, between 100 and 200 words, detailing why they deserve to be selected for the opportunity.
If chosen, the winner will receive a copy of Grand Theft Auto VI, specifically the $100 Ultimate Edition, and will be compensated at a rate of €100 per hour ($111 USD) for playing the game for a total of eight hours. This equates to a total payment of €800 ($891 USD) for the eight-hour session. Virgin Media has stated that the playing time can be divided across the week as the winner sees fit.
The primary obligation for the selected participant will be to play the game for the specified duration and then post a review on Instagram or TikTok. These posts must tag Virgin Media and include a clear disclosure that the content is part of a paid advertisement.
Applications for the promotion are open until November 15. Virgin Media will select the winner at random and notify them within seven days of the application deadline. Further details, including full terms and conditions, are available on the contest's official website.
It is important to note that to participate, individuals must own a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series X|S, as these are the platforms on which Grand Theft Auto VI will be released. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
