BackgammonMasters donates to China survivors
4 June 2008

LONDON, England -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- BackgammonMasters Online BlackJack, Poker and Backgammon Operator is generously aiding survivors of the earthquake in China. BackgammonMasters.com has offered to match $5 for every $1 donated from a months worth of tournament buy-ins ranging from $4.50 to $200. Players will participate in backgammon and blackjack tournaments where all of the prize money will go directly to the UNICEF organization whose main focus of attention and assistance is on child victims of the quake.

BackgammonMasters raised the ante by offering to match $5 on every $1 in the spirit of good will efforts made by companies such as PokerStars who offered to match dollar for dollar. "It doesn't really matter how much is invested in the donation, as long as companies are doing what they can to help, and to raise awareness. We feel that it is important to encourage charitable gaming and to make this type of community outreach in the online casino world a common occurrence. Some people may be surprised that we are doing this but we've always known that casino owners and players have huge hearts and pockets," said BackgammonMasters CEO.

Perhaps the real reason that BackgammonMasters is so quick to help in China is also due in part to the Chinese dice game offered on the site also known as Perudo in Latin Markets, in addition to the fact that the Asian Market makes up a substantial percentage of their traffic.

Backgammon and blackjack tournaments will be offered all month long, around the clock so that anytime a member logs in from anywhere in the world, they be able to register and start playing immediately for this great cause. Players can also add additional winnings from other games to a special donation account that has been setup for each player by Backgammon Masters in the cashier.

That is awesome! I work for a Chinese company in Canada and I know that some have relatives who have lost everything. My heart goes out to them. Makes you realize how lucky we really are....
