Royal Gaming supports SOS Children

09/09/2008

From 15 September to 15 December 2008, RoyalGaming.com will donate $25 to SOS Children on behalf of every new depositing player at the following participating casinos/bingo halls: Spin Palace, Roxy Palace, EuroGrand, Jackpot City Bingo or Party Bingo.

According to Daniel Stratton, Head of Marketing, the team at Royal Gaming has long had the plight of orphaned and abandoned children at heart and decided to help make a difference to their lives by running the “Play for Charity Promotion”, whereby they pledge to donate $25 to SOS Children for every new player that signs up, deposits and plays at one of recommended Casinos and/or Bingo halls listed on the Royal Gaming website. All proceeds will be donated to SOS Children at the end of the promotional period, and distributed to the SOS Family Strengthening Programme in Mamelodi, South Africa.

This project offers specific assistance in the form of skills training, education, counselling, micro-loans and improved nutrition, to the most disadvantaged members of society, including child and grandparent-headed families, many of whom are affected by HIV/AIDS. The programme will help families to provide for their children and stay together through difficult times.

While a few online casinos have run promotions to benefit various charities in the past, this is the first time that an online casino affiliate advertiser has undertaken such a promotion. Stratton adds, “We’re sure that this will be the first of many promotions aimed at empowering the less fortunate featured at Royal Gaming, after all, it is a great way for people to make a significant difference while enjoying their favourite pastime. With the vast amount of wealth generated by the casino industry, Royal gaming just feels that is about time we give something back.”
