Online Casino Philanthropy
The United Kingdom’s latest regulations that came into effect in September of
last year emphasize that internet gambling companies should practice a level of
social responsibility – that covers everything from preemptive measures to
protect problem and underage online casinos gamblers to giving back to the
community. And though there are many internet gambling companies that give
beyond the basic requirements and expectations now that the UK regulations are
in place, Slotland.com is an online casinos gambling site that has consistently
demonstrated philanthropy as a cornerstone of the company’s business structure.
Slotland is one of the most philanthropic of the internet gambling companies in
the world (and practiced philanthropy before it was fashionable – it’s just a
part of the company’s business model rather than a publicity tactic), and
nothing demonstrates this more than the community center that the company funded
in Malawi.
Slotland.com just announced the launch of a new Web site specifically so that
the public can donate to the charity. Slotland has funded this project for two
years, completely covering the construction costs and agreeing to continue
supporting the community center until it is financially self-sufficient. And
based on feedback from Slotland’s online casinos gamblers, the company decided
to launch the www.help-malawi-children-charity.org Web site. A spokesperson for
Slotland, Martin Smith, commented on the reasons behind the new site, “We’ve
been reporting the progress of the project to our players for two years. So many
people have told us how proud they are of what we’re doing that we provided this
fundraising website to give them an opportunity to get more involved and to make
personal donations.”
Online casinos players and others all over the world can help feed the orphaned
children of Malawi with their donations and help the people develop
self-sustaining businesses that will help Malawi and neighboring villages break
out of the cycle of poverty, AIDS, and lack of education. |
