Online Casinos Respond in Crisis

Call it Global Warming or just the natural flow of the universe, but there is no mistaking that the numbers of major disasters are cause for concern. The online casino gambling industry has responded to earthquake crises in China with an outpouring of support for the survivors. PokerStars – perhaps the most prestigious of the online casinos, has announced an easy way for players to donate to the Red Cross. This is not the first time that online poker players have responded in times of international crisis – PokerStars has responded in the past, and other sties like Slotland.com regularly support poverty stricken regions in South Africa.

As for the current crisis though, PokerStars is one of the few online casinos to respond immediately with aid for the earthquake victims. The site allows gamblers to easily use money in their PokerStars account to donate to Red Cross through a special “tournament/special” tab on the site. There is no tournament associated with the cause, but rather individuals can choose the “buy-in” matches the amount they would like to donate. Initial donations available start at $5 and online casino players can donate as much as $100.

And in the true spirit of giving, the PokerStars online casino poker site is matching all of the donations dollar for dollar. All of the money donated goes specifically to the current earthquake crisis in China. A spokesperson for the site commented, “Now, as the people of China struggle to cope with the deadly earthquake in their country, PokerStars is giving its players a way to help.” Players at online casinos are generally generous and the PokerStars expects to raise a considerably large sum.
