Microgaming is one of the online casino world’s most well-known online pokie developers. The company has gained a stellar reputation for producing high-quality games on a regular basis. What many people in the gaming industry don’t know is that Microgaming is also one of the most charitable members of the online gambling market.
This week, the company announced the recipients of its latest grants. According to a report in Innovate Gaming, Microgaming Play It Forward donated $46 000 to four charities that were selected by various clients and business contacts.
They were asked to vote for a particular charity to receive a $11 500 donate in the following areas: Africa, Asia, Australia and Rest of the World. In Africa, Médecins Sans Frontières will receive the donation. This is an organisation that provides emergency medical aid to people affected by conflict, epidemics and disasters. In Australia, the grant will be awarded to White Ribbon, an alliance which seeks to end violence against women.
In Asia, Change Heroes will receive the donation. For ‘Rest of the World’, Hospice Isle of Man will be given the grant. “What a fabulous idea. We have worked with Microgaming for a number of years; their terrific support is always very much appreciated,” says Mary Doyle of Hospice Isle of Man Head of Income.
“This amazing donation will make a real difference to our charity, this amount equates to just under a month’s care in our In-Patient unit, so thank you to everyone that voted for Hospice Isle of Man.” Play It Forward is Microgaming’s corporate social responsibility program. It was launched as an extension of Microgaming Health & Care Trust, offering financial assistance to a wide range of good causes around the world.
