Though the world rarely can agree on anything, natural disasters tend to bring out the best in both individuals and corporations, a truth exemplified by the pledge to provide help made by one of the world’s most lucrative online gambling corporations. The chief executive officer for the Tokwiro Enterprises, a firm that deals mostly with Asian-facing internet casinos, has promised to raise financial assistance for those in Haiti, so devastatingly affected by the recent 7.0 earthquake near the small country’s capital. Tokwiro Enterprises’ two biggest online casinos, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker have already set up their fund-raisers to raise money for the western hemisphere’s poorest nation, joining the growing list of internet gambling companies who have made similar pledges. The tournaments will take place in the near future on the sites, hosting a buy-in of only $5 and a turbo re-buy ability for those players will bad luck early on. All of the funds raised by the Tokwiro efforts will be matched by the corporation, doubling the relief efforts sent to Haiti. The funds will be donated directly to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. "Along with the rest of the world, we've watched the headlines and news unfold with growing horror as the magnitude of the devastation in Haiti has been revealed," said Paul Leggett, the CEO for Tokwiro Enterprises. “We believe we have a duty to do what we can to help raise funds and awareness for the plight of the people of Haiti, and our 'Play for Haiti' tournament is one small way we can work with our players to contribute." The two online poker sites have added over $10 000 in prizes including a $2,500 + $100 entry into Ultimate Bet Online Championship Event 8 for first place. |
