Poker sites and players team up for Haiti
After the terrible events in Haiti this week, I was glad to see some of the main poker sites doing their bit to try and offer financial assistance.
Pokerstars, Full Tilt and Cake have generously announced that they will match all donations made via their sites and I can say from experience that making donations via the Pokerstars site is extremely simple, you just do a normal fund transfer with the recipient name of ‘haiti fund’. I believe that there are also dummy tournaments which don’t actually run, they simply use the funds as a donation. Full Tilt are using the same methods and Cake have three dummy tournaments available, for amounts of $5, $25 & $100.
All donations are being given to the American Red Cross and I would urge all poker players to make a donation of whatever their standard tournament entry fee would be. Be it, $2 or $215. Please don’t believe that this will lead to the site turning off your doomswitch however. After my donation I just got two outered!! So much for karma.
