For the longest time, gaming was a hobby, a passion for many people – often looked at as a waste-of-time activity by parental figures who worried that their children would waste the best years of their lives playing games online all through the night. Oh, the stereotypes of gamers were plenty!
But the gaming industry has since grown, and how! Today, not only is it a hobby, but also a viable career option. The gaming industry is already worth billions, and is said to only get better in the coming years.
Crowdfunding & gaming – the confluence of two growing industries
Crowdfunding and games have a long-standing relationship, and date back to galas and bingo nights – a more traditional approach. Today, the crowdfunding industry is booming and with it are the various new-age approaches to fundraising for important causes. Once again, crowdfunding and gaming have come together, and it’s only getting more innovative each day.
It’s not uncommon to have live-streamed video game events that raise funds for NGOs. Games like League Of Legends, World Of Warcraft, and Fortnite among others are popular games worldwide including fundraisers.
Gaming For Good In India
Baazi Games, India’s most trusted online gaming platform has been a pioneer in making online games accessible and fun to over 10 million users in the country. But it’s not just that, Baazi Games have been associated with several important causes and helped countless lives through their initiatives.
This is truly a new era of crowdfunding. And Baazi Games and Donatekart’s ‘Gaming For Good’ initiative takes this a step forward.
‘Gaming For Good’ will allow people to play their favourite game, poker, while contributing to this important cause. It’s as simple as that. All you need to do is go to pokerbaazi.com, download the app and register for the poker tournament for Rs. 200. Play the game and be assured that a portion of this amount will go towards educating underprivileged children. You will not only enjoy playing the game but also make a huge impact in the lives of so many children who have little to nothing to call their own.
The impact can be tremendous, and what better way to engage people than through a game that’s so widely loved?
It’s safe to say that gaming for good is here to stay and will grow from strength to strength.
So whether you’re a pro gamer or not, why not try your hand at Gaming For Good and be a part of the change!
