Backgammon Masters Help People in Need

I’ve written about Backgammon Masters before. They provide a platform where people can play online backgammon, blackjack and other games

This post is not about gaming, but about giving and about social responsibility. Even though what this company does for profit is to organize backgammon tournaments they seem to have a social side to it: they are helping survivors of the latest China earthquake by donating prize money.

Basically they are offering to match $5 on every $1 from tournament buy-ins in their online casino so anyone can register to play on their site anytime during this month and they’ll be donating towards helping fellow people in need. For example, if you sign up for a $10 tournament, the online casino will be donating $50 towards this cause.

Their CEO is stressing how important it is that companies help as much as they can to help a charitable cause, stressing that it’s not really important how much they donate but rather showing the example to the communities.

By offering this donation, Backgammon Masters are giving back to the people that made them so successful, since a lot of their customers come from Asia.

Other companies, like Poker Starts have offered donations by matching dollar for dollar buy-ins and hopefully other companies will follow through in helping to raise money for this noble cause
