There’s a mysterious new service available to the online casino world. Mysterious because no one in the online gambling community seems to be able to trace who’s to be credited for the appearance of amazing new technology that permits players to play for the charity of the choice. The website is titled Playerati.com, a term that means “Play Wisely.” The site itself is powered by Microgaming internet casino games, and the newest contributor to the gambling world hosts an online lottery in addition to its casino. Apparently, the Flash technology has been identified as in its Beta formal, meaning it’s second version, and provides a system that allows both players and webmasters to raise money for their charity of choice while they play online. The website tells patrons that it’s different than most online casinos not only in its mission statement, which focuses on instigating change for the better, but also gives an advantage in that hosts are not at risk for losing money, since they don’t put any in. Playerati also has the ability to manage all the pay-outs, both for the lottery and the casino, both to winning players as well as to charities. Their website does its best to answer most questions, while avoiding giving credit to any organization for all of this ingenuity. It invites players to give the site a try to “make money for yourself and for charity at the same time.” Part of the Playerati appeal is the web 2.0 tool that encourages webmasters to create their own: “Our web 2.0 fundraising tool uses the power of social networks to promote an open lottery or casino around the world within minutes.” This translates to anyone with the technological know-how to set up and launch their own, personalized online casinos and lotteries. The host and the charity of choice take a cut from any win, with the player still receiving the bulk. The Playerati system is licensed through the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. The website also has the Gamcare logo for responsible gambling. |
