Crypto Online Gambling Charity Fundraiser for Covid-19 Donation

[Darker45]

Good initiative towards controlling corona spread from another crypto related company, but they are just raising funds isn't it? Or they are donating their profits shares with the people's donation to the non profit organization?

The funds should reach to the ones who deserve them. As you people are talking more about freebitco more than any other site, they haven't confirm anything as yet where these funds went and did they already distributed or not ? The more transparent they become, the better response they will achieve while gathering the charity.

What freebitcoin is doing is a fundraiser. As stated in their website, the fund raised is coming from the house edge revenue, 20% of it to be exact. But that would only be taken particularly from the Multiply BTC game on Sunday from 2:30 to 5:30 UTC. The raised amount will be donated to Direct Relief, a charity organization that helps provide PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to COVID-19 health workers.^[1]

As to how much, they have yet to sort it out because it has not even started yet. So far, everything's pretty much transparent. And I guess the intended beneficiaries are truly deserving of such donation. The health workers responding to COVID-19 should be provided with no less than the best and complete personal protection considering that they are the ones who are truly fighting against the virus. They are risking their lives for this battle.

That's a good initiative by them. Maybe it's one of the reasons why they remain in the industry. It's because they also show support towards other world events. It gives the site a good image of their users. That they are not just an online gambling business, but they are also willing to help.

Every country needs help, the government can not fund all of the expenses just to fight this pandemic. And it's great that they are also starting their donation funds for the frontliners who are working really hard. Not only in America, but other countries as well are experiencing a shortage of funds for hospital PPE. Although not everyone might donate, I hope those gamblers who have extra money and are willing to help can donate extra funds.

And the gambling platform fundraiser said,

How I wish I can donate but we are also hard hit by this pandemic and we have very small resources right now, we live in a third world country and we also need help, we should praise these companies that do their part in helping combat this pandemic, even a small amount will go along way, I'm sure other gambling sites are doing their share.

I don't think they are collecting funds for the third world countries, they probably will donate to poor in their own country. Every one should donate something to help the poor and it is not necessary that you donate it online. you can find the needy people around you , in the neighbors and help them.

This is literally what I am thinking, all of the countries are suffering form this virus, so I think they will just donate that into their own people. Personally, I am living at the the Philippines which is a third world country, I will just donate my money into my own people instead of donating into other countries. It's just for me, but it's better to help you own people first rather than, help others. Let's just hope that this pandemic is gonna end soon. Stay safe everyone!!!

Like most of the users who posted here, I'm also happy that freebitcoin have the initiative to create a charity for the frontliners who are using their time curing these patients.

I would also like to see other gambling sites out there to create a one big organization that will help people with this pandemic. I hope that what freebitcoin did must be done by other gambling sites too. We can help with this though by gambling in their site. They said that it is 100% but even though it isn't 100% (my thinking only) as long as it will help other people then it is good.

Well, I don't think it's a good idea or moral for what many call gambling business/casino to provide relief fund.
Gambling = taking big risk (in my opinion) shouldn't be funding things like this.
For example, it's not a good idea for a ciggrate company, company that sell/buy bad food or company that sell/buy bad things to provide relief.
But it's ok for betting company to provide relief (depending on how risky the company product/service is)... Good/safe betting companies basically.

When it comes to humanity, all people who have an honest heart will donate some of their money to people who need it. Even the bad guys want to give some money too to other people who suffer if they can feel about humanity. So it is reasonable to see if freebitco.in decide to donate some percentage of their income to the charities to help other people. And this time is the right moment for freebitco.in to give their money to charities because they want to help the professional to fight to coronavirus.

Always freebitco.in is an edge higher than others, that is proved once again with their philanthropy. I am not sure how many other crypto gambling houses are working fund rising for current pandemic but most of them are too busy in adding new games or opening doors for investors so that may redeem the maximum lockdown will be released world wide.

I read there is an initiative to support the corporate and other service providers who contributed in terms of financial aids for the fight against covid19 and ignoring all other service providers and merchants. Why not we do the same here? Because, this must be an emergency situation for mankind, and if you cannot be generous right now then when?

[MCobian]

I am very proud if there are gambling platforms that participate to help medical care. As we know the role of medical care is very important
to fight the corona virus. Hopefully other gambling platforms will be followed, because it will not go bankrupt by donating a portion of the profit.
Moreover, donating to the needy is extraordinary. Because the corona virus crisis is our common enemy, so it is indeed our duty help each other.
It is not enough that we only expect government assistance,so we need to raise funds to provide assistance to medical care and corona virus victims.

Good initiative towards controlling corona spread from another crypto related company, but they are just raising funds isn't it? Or they are donating their profits shares with the people's donation to the non profit organization?

Freebitco is actually donating 20% of the profit generated from wagering during specific time intervals. The next schedule time is tomorrow Sunday19 April  from 02:30 to 05:30 UTC. The more we wager during this time, 20% goes to the covid19 funds.

At least they are doing something to help people to have some funds to sustain their lives during this quarantine. They just want to help other people and nothing's wrong about that, we just need to support them and let our money go in a good destination. No matter if you lose, just be optimistic that you help a lot of people survive this quarantine.
Probably, they will also donate their profits because there are a lot of people who really need help because the governments are not that planned to allocate the funds to the community and the service of the government is not that fast enough.

But its better to donate all the funds rather than giving 20%.

Actually, I am not having any plan to gamble in that time interval but already helping the people in the way I can who are affected by corona lockdown.

Fundraising are good most especially during this kind of pandemic. It doesn't matter how big or small the money you donated is, the important thing is there are people who will benefit your money. This crypto online gambling platform is not forcing you to gamble just to donate but it is based on your emotion and if you want to help other people.

But you're right, it is better if you will give it 100% so more people will benefit from the donations and more families will be granted the help and support from the gambling charity fundraiser. They should allocate the donation properly so that they will be an effective gambling platform who will help a lot of people during this pandemic.

wow nice op i didnt know that you are one of the front liners so here i thank and salute you  . hope you take care your self  . anyway i see that freebit have that campaign and i was feel happy inside even though im not a regular player on them but i was only a free loader , as im only playing thier faucet  but other people should be depositing and playing on them regularly because they are one of the oldest and trusted faucet/gambling site  . i hope many gambling sites will do this too   . i heard top exchanges have also a simillar campaign  which is also very proudful  . finnaly humanity restored

[leea-1334]

I think in general it is good to see all of these efforts, but I fear there are more scams than genuine efforts, which is why I would still rather go direct to the source and donate my own crypto if I see something I would like to support. Of course, if it is just a normal effort at a place we already play at, then sure why not do it. Like Freebitcoin as OP says, you play there anyway, so why not?

[freedomgo]

Hopefully all gambling sites will initiate that kind of initiative.
If we trust the site, we will always believe that our donation will spent at the right purpose.

Actually I think that gambling sites are giving donations too, they belong to a profitable industry so for sure they have something to help since thy are not in lockdown, their operation continues so their profit continues as well.

I'd like to donate but unfortunately, I also struggle now.

[peter0425]

can there be a list for other countries that running fundraising regarding gambling sites?i mean is there a chance that this will be conducted by other countries and not US only?

There are very few gambling sites which are providing such services in the current scenario which is why I don't see the requirement for a list. Just google away and find what you are looking for.

Of course Google is the best way(as long as available) but at least since OP is talking about donating so maybe adding above is helpful for those willing to extend some helps using these sites.

Hopefully all gambling sites will initiate that kind of initiative.
If we trust the site, we will always believe that our donation will spent at the right purpose.

 

That would be very helpful if they are willing to help people in need by giving donation for many in need than just collecting money from the gamblers.

I saw a gambling platform that has raised funds for helping the medical care front liner in the US.
I always impressed those big companies who are willing to help any frontline people because I am one of them and I know that protecting gears is very important to them.

It's nice to know that there is online sites tries to help in this situation. Frontliners sacrificed a lot. They could not easily went home to their family. They cannot hug their children or loved ones when they got home because they are might carrying the virus so they have to clean first. They may got sick. On the other side, there are families that does not eat 3 times a day because they do not have food nor money to buy. We all know we are lucky that in this pandemic, we can still earn money through crypto. We can still gamble if we want to. I think we have to support this fund raising and I just really hope the fund raise go to the right hand because they deserve our help.

[TheGreatPython]

Freebitco.in must be one of the greatest crypto gambling house and they are proving their reputation once again by launching this initiative of fundraising for covid19 cause. I see lots of other people are launching similar initiatives for collecting donations from this community in services board. These must be highly appreciable act from this community members.

In my country. there are lots of such initiatives are happening to help needy people and I am also contributing the level I could. But, in the past there were lots of scam happened when people collect funds in the name of needy people when there were affected by cyclone/flood/earth quake and even by tsunami by 2004. This makes me to think about helping needy people directly instead of giving out donations to some other people. I am not discoursing anyone nor any initiative and I just talk about what happened in my country. I am sorry if I sound different.

You are right!

For people who have been on this crypto market or to those who do just have work online are really lucky yet we can still able to earn in spite of the
crisis on where the world is experiencing right now.Its really good to see that there are gambling sites that do consider on giving out donation
which would really be a great help specially for front liners who do sacrifice themselves just for us.

i totally agree on this  . i also work online for almost 2 years now and recently during the covid appear and many people are loosing job i then realized that im blessed this kind of career i have now because i can still continue working non stop 27/7 without getting any risk of infection or restriction whatsoever  . along with this it suddenly came to my mind that maybe im one of the tool to help people in terms of crisis like this which i already did  . i help our neighbors because many people are poor here that dont have jobs now . i also gamble and i win often , those winning that i got are also going for them  .

[Genemind]

It's good to see that gambling platforms are giving back to the community during the pandemic. I know some platforms have already been performing their social responsibility by doing charity works even before the pandemic and it makes me proud that there are bigger platforms like freebitcoin helping front liners during their fight. This will serve as a good inspiration and will somehow aid the sacrifices of all the frontliners who are working 24/7 to make sure everyone is safe from coronavirus.
