On the Edge of Technology

Aiding the needy while having fun

There are lots of people who play backgammon and many other games online. That’s the reason we find so many poker and backgammon download websites on the internet these days.

These sites have all information about how to play poker, blackjack and any other game you can think of and they help you in getting started and, if luck is on your side, also earning real money.

This industry is really big and involves a lot of money but contrary to popular belief, they are being generous and sometimes, they put some of that money to offer some help for the relief efforts. For instance, BackgammonMasters is providing a lot of aid to the earthquake victims in China.

What they do is match five dollars for every one dollar donated from a month’s worth of tournament. In other words, for every dollar people donate, they throw five into the pile. This is in line with other companies like Pokerstars are doing by donating a dollar by every dollar spent on their online games sites.

All the money spent by the various players playing the backgammon and blackjack tournaments will go directly to UNICEF which in turn would help the child victims of the quake.

All the tournaments are offered throughout the month at their site and the players can log in anytime and from anywhere from the world to play and win. Additional winnings of the players can be added to a special donation account.

Some people may argue this is only to gain a publicity effect. Well, in my view, it doesn’t really matter why they do it as long as they keep doing it. BackgammonMasters has already done this in the past, aiding victims of natural disasters and that’s something worth posting about, even if it’s for the sake of publicity.
